I honestly wasn't sure where to post this, but I'm pretty sure it's of general interest to the forum members and I haven't seen anyone else mention it, so: Showtime has announced the release of the second season of P&T's "Bull****" (the messaging program censored the title!!! :confused: ) on DVD for February 8, 2005. Unlike Season One, there will be both a censored and uncensored version; both will be priced at ~$35.00.

While I plan to pick up the uncensored version for myself, I'm rather relieved that there will be a somewhat bowdlerized version that, hopefully, can be shown in the schools. The biggest flaw, I felt, with the first set was that no teacher could use it in class without endangering his job.

Actually, I think that the only thing that is "censored" is the cover art.
 
I have the "censored" version and you are correct, Mark. The only censored part is the cover art. The content inside is the same.
 
What's the cover art? Or is it available to view somewhere that I could see? (I'm assuming maybe it's from the episode where everyone was walking around nude??)

Anyway, glad to hear Season 2 will be out soon, that's a must buy. :D
 
The episode with everyone nude (except P&T themselves, thank Ed) was in the first season. I suspect that the cover art that's censored is the title itself? My mom went to the bookstore to buy the first season for me for my birthday, and she had to order it. I thought that it was possibly because they didn't want that title on their shelves.
 
Arrgghhh!

Feb is how long I have to wait till? No Xmas DVD release?

That's Bullsh*t. :(

(Did anybody manage to get 2nd series on PC?)

I bought mine from Borders right off the new release rack.
But, Borders also sells porn tapes, so I'm not surprised that they weren't worried about a little swearing


Anyone know if they've been picked up for a 3rd season?

Use P2P to download it from the internet. I don't even live in America, and I've seen every episode... ;)

LOS ANGELES, CA - JULY 21, 2004 - Close on the heels of its Emmy® nominations for best Outstanding Reality Program and Outstanding Writing for Nonfiction Programming, SHOWTIME has renewed its controversial and irreverent series PENN & TELLER: ◊◊◊◊◊◊◊◊!, from the Wolper Organization, for a third season, it was announced today by Robert Greenblatt, President, Entertainment for Showtime Networks Inc. Featuring master showmen Penn & Teller, the series initially premiered on SHOWTIME in January 2003, offering viewers an aggressive, humorous exposé of taboo topics using the duo's trademark humor, knowledge of carnival tricks and con-artistry, as well as hidden cameras and blatant confrontation. According to TV Guide, the series "is what 60 Minutes might be like if it were run by the creators of South Park."

The title "BULLSH!T" has a black box through it with the word censored. That's the only difference. The nekkid bits are still the same on the DVD.
