Are there TV shows that are full of BIIIP sounds to cover all the f**k and
sh*t equivalents in germany

I know there are TV shows with these covering sounds in United-States and in
Quebec but is that usual elsewhere?

I've never watched a show from somewhere else with covered vulgarities, is
it that the others are more respectfull, that the other support more
swearings without covering them, or is it that I didn't saw enough TV shows

Probably that the vulgarity is measurable by the need of covering vulgarity
