Honestly, some writers have gotten pretty creative with censorship. Firefly's use of "in universe" curses are a good example.

Plus such classics as the tv edit of The Big Lebowski's "Find me in the alps!"

I would prefer no censorship, but that's no reason to disregard the fine work of creators trying to make the best of a bad situation.

Also, The Good Place

Absolutely!

What's great about The Good Place's "censorship" (imho), is the joke would work even if they weren't actually being censored. I get that it's a unique advantage of the shows premise, so it's more of an exception than the rule, but damn if it isn't well played!
