And I also said it because how many other PG shows have won you over like Breaking Bad or the Attitude era did? That was more my point then "It's impossible to write compelling tv that's also PG." But it is very hard to do so.
Not a lot has been very compelling since the PG era started but it has very little if anything to do with the PG rating. Wrestling HAS thrived outside of just the attitude era and there have been plenty of critically acclaimed TV shows and movies that were PG. It's a ridiculous excuse. WWE's problem is with making the characters credible an interesting. That's not hampered all that much by the inability to have them say naughty words.
