One thing I will say is while it’s a shame the episodes aren’t completely uncensored (not Paramount+'s fault), they’re at least a lot better than the bastardized DVD episodes
MTV in general bastardized their catalog considering the state of the original Jackass series on Paramount+
Yeah, we are still discovering changes made to the Mike Judge Collection DVDs even in recent months. Part of it is revisionism, and part of it is going back to lower gen masters for that set (like Citizen Butt-Head, for example came out less censored). But their new releases just grab a random tape for an episode, clearly. Beware of the Butt is fully uncensored, and that tape was pulled from rotation after like two days in 1993.
Just to be clear, though, this project is fully uncensored.
I believe some of the censorships are permanent since apparently some episodes had their actual masters altered
It’s hard to say other than speculation. In some cases, probably. In other cases, like Citizen Butt-Head, clearly the master was not altered.
Doesn’t matter for the new streaming masters though, because those are all from broadcast tapes and not the upstream masters. Which is why we can have things like the Beware of the Butt “F UCKER” scene even though it only aired around twice in May 1993, and always censored after that. Or the voiceover on Give Blood’s credits, which was changed, etc.
