How I Met Your Mother

Some of you have noticed / told us off for censoring parts of How I Met Your Mother. This is an issue that we have with all our US comedies that play pre-watershed, including Scrubs, My Name Is Earl and even Friends. These shows were originally made to play in a later slot, so have the occasional naughty bit that we simply can't play before 9pm.

Series 1-3 of How I Met Your Mother will continue to premiere at 7.30pm on weeknights, up until December. These shows are usually repeated in a later slot, and we'll try to always show you the unedited version in these instances.

From December, we'll start showing the forth series of How I Met Your Mother, which we'll be playing in a post 9pm slot, unedited.

    Redicolous, HIMYM in america has there equivalent of a U rating, and to be honest the content is not rude, vulgar or cursive, I let my 10 yera old kid watch imported, unedited DVD's and I doubt anyone would have any problem with that.

    89bby.. i doubt they will be showing it at 9pm EVERYDAY! I think they will give it a 'once a week' slot like the other new primetime shows.

    well by the time you GET to the 4th series, you won't have any viewers left because of your ridiculous editing and it may be cancelled! I am sending a complaint.
