wikipedia wrote:On The Tonight Show with Johnny Carson, during an episode on which Chevy Chase promoted the film and Siskel & Ebert guested, Carson asked Roger Ebert what he thought the worst film of the holiday season was. Ebert's reply was "The Three Amigos." After a brief pause, Chase replied with, "Looking forward to your next movie." Carson then apologized, saying he wished he hadn't asked the question, and Ebert replied that he wished Carson hadn't, either. (According to Ebert, backstage after the show, Chase confessed that he hadn't liked the movie either.)

Obviously, I voted for Blazing Saddles.
It was probably a year or so ago, Blazing Saddles was on some regular cable channel, I want to say the ABC Family channel, but I'm not sure. Something along those lines though, certainly not Comedy Central or FX or anything like that.
Obviously, I was expecting the N-word to be edited out, but much to my surprise, it wasn't.
That's how damn good Blazing Saddles is. It's above that kind of censorship.

My guess is that the Family Channel didn't realize it was a comedy.
