The reason for this is the desire to make money. You can't make money if you annoy the advertisers.
Again... You seem to be under some misconception that the advertisers are who need to be pleased with the programming... that's not the case... here or there. Advertisers strictly respond to their customers. It is their customers who need to be pleased.
Yes, we are more conservative in the US... I already said that, and it's why British TV is more bawdy and pushes the limits of decency. But it's not all about "religious conservatives" ...it's about our general cultures. Brits and Europeans aren't spread out across 3,000 miles of vast continent like we are. Their population isn't as diverse and mobile. People in the UK practically live on top of each other... they are more intimate and less private. In the US, people are more reserved and private, they keep their bawdiness behind closed doors.
We enjoy them quite a bit.
Even better, we find the British murder mysteries and police procedurals to be far better than their American counterparts.
Only the American True Detective and Longmire even come close to such as Broadchurch or Happy Valley.
British Comedy and Drama are superb.
The reasons why the UK is far more open with stuff like sex is not because people live on top of each other. Estimates for church goers in the UK is about 2%. Many of them are immigrants.
In the US it's far higher.

According to Gallup, 12% of Brits attend church weekly and 50-60% rarely or never attend. In the US, 38% attend weekly. FYI.. Russia is at 2% weekly attendance.
I'm sure that both are factors. However, like westwall said.. the OP is about British Comedy, not some myopic discussion about cultural difference or opportunity for you to bash on religion and conservatives.

I'd say many of those who attend church, or mosque or whatever are immigrants, doesn't matter but it is a make up of the UK>
I'm surprised about Russia, yes they had Communism but still the Orthodox church does have power in Russia.
Yes, this is about British Comedy and we're talking about British comedy and why it is better than US comedy, the reasons for it. If you're not allowed to talk about the reasons for something existing on a thread about it, then it would be a little strange.
Also, he said something about US foreign policy, we've not been talking about US foreign policy and I've not been looking at other threads. So, we'll just to have accept we don't know what he's talking about.
And no I don't think it has a thing in the world to do with how densely together people live. If that theory had any validity, people in the Boston-Washington megalopolis, where population is dense, should be more let-it-all hang-out than those in Wyoming and Montana, who should be the prudes. If anything, empirical observation indicates it's the opposite.

We haven't been. We were talking about a comment made to an audience in England about how a band of Texans felt, which is nobody's damn business to second-guess.
Evidently we're talking about censorship. Not the official government kind but the social, PC kind where you get friends or people in high places to pressure media to do your bidding or to shut people up. The pseudoreligious, pseudomoralistic, pseudopatriotic, pseudoPC shit that threatens to shut down free expression. It hit the fan when little Jimmy's eyes were forever polluted by the sight of Janet Jackson's version of the same body part he fed on as a baby. It's a certain bullshit that Europeans just never developed, hence their "freer" media entertainment --- actually it's not that theirs is "freer", but rather that ours is so "slavish". It's a microcosm of far bigger problems --- people obsessed with controlling other people's thoughts.
