Jordan Cahan and David Caspe said they decided they had to be particular in how they would approach things like profanity and nudity on their 1980s-set comedy, especially since they had the freedom of being on a premium cable network. “Because the show was set in the ’80s there was all this language used that we find abhorrent now — and rightly so — but there were all these words bantered around…so we had to be very careful who we allowed to say those words,” Cahan said at the TV press tour. He added that part of the freedom they had with Showtime was “finding our own internal line of what felt appropriate,” he said. That meant not showing female nudity. "We are a comedy; we don’t necessarily want to contribute to that on TV," he said. ALSO: Black Monday's stretch Lamborghini is actually "a huge piece of sh*t."
