I wouldn't count on the uncensored part. Some shows they do, some they don't. For example, they rebroadcast a season of Californication that was somewhat censored, then broadcast the premiere episode of the new season completely uncensored. Some movies they show are censored, some aren't. I have yet to discern any pattern for their choices.

From other reports it looks like they will be starting with Episode 1, Season 1. The uncensored rumor comes from a post on DBS Talk. I guess we'll know for sure in less than two weeks.

It's not the 101 but HDNet has timing issues with censoring. If you watch the early showings of Art Mann Presents you get pixellated nudity. If you want the later showings you get the full picture, or female at least. Art Mann always apologizes that Mark Cuban won't let them show full frontal male. They more than make up for it with female nudity, including full frontal.

It's possible the 101 will do the same with TPB, although that will obviously be due to language and not nudity. The only nudity is Randy's belly and I wish that was pixellated! :-) I've always wondered about the actor playing Randy. How do you get other jobs when you have to maintain that belly? In checking IMDB it looks like he does have a problem. The only shows listed on his credits are the TPB movies and the tv show.

Bubbles only has one non-TPB credit and that one was written by Clattenburg (the writer of TPB) and was called "The Cart Boy" about a guy who steals shopping carts - the same as Bubbles does. The actor who plays Julian was also in it, so it was a precursor (by 6 years) to TPB.

John Paul Tremblay (Julian) and Robb Wells (Ricky) have identical acting credits on IMDB, with 99% related to TPB.

Talk about being type cast!
