I never cared if it was on or not -- I'd continue as I was -- relaxing &  watching, or looking up movie facts & secrets on my phone. . .

I don't look for that stuff -- you'll not see me watching the Hallmark Channel  (pretty much all Harlequin movies)

But the normal expected amount in a good rom-com, I'm fine with, if the story & acting is good, of course.

True enough.

I prefer to reserve those types of high calibre vulgarities for when they are  explictly required over lesser words.

My default now, for the 'gratuitive intensive' use (a new part of speech I've  coined) is "fleeping" or I substitute plain silliness, like "Go scratch an  earthworm's jock itch" instead of foxtrot-oscar.

Or the old, "Make like a bird and. . ." (they're supposed to fill it in their  inds with "flock off"; if they don't know the expression or ask me to finish  the phrase, I say "and fly away"leaving them to wonder. . . *L*)
