Was this a cable show?
I have the DVD set "Sex and science Fiction" and there's a bit of full frontal nudity in it that I did not expect. Not complaining at all just it's there
Is being on cable how they get past the censors? -

The show originally ran on Showtime and was picked up by Sci-Fi channel in the early 2000's. When it aired on Sci-Fi channel it was edited for television.

During its run on Showtime, edited versions were prepared for broadcast. The Canadian season sets mostly have the edited versions; since MGM only released Season 1 and a set of six compilation discs, you are likely to find the shorter versions (which also include fades for commercial breaks).
I watched the series regularly during the late 90. The broadcast versions usually appeared a few months after the Showtime airing.
I don't know yet if the versions available on Amazon Instant Video are edited or not. One quick way to tell is at the beginning: after the control voice finishes its intro, it says: "Please stand by." This was added for the commercial break that followed. On the unedited versions, you do not hear this.
We report, you decide; but we decide what to report.
