How CBS Censored Yellowstone's Most Explicit Swearing & Nudity

In addition to coarse language, the CBS broadcast of “Yellowstone” has had to clean up some of the series’ more sexually explicit scenes. While sex scenes persist, any instances of nudity have been removed, as have Beth’s, uh, spirited narration. It is harder to separate “Yellowstone” from its blanket of violence. Luckily, this is American media we’re talking about, where sexual content incites much more finger wagging than violence, so the show’s bloodier scenes are largely unchanged.

Some edits have little to do with content and more to do with cutting the show’s runtime, with some superfluous scraps left on the cutting room floor. “They cut most [of] the scene where Tate throws a rock at Lee, for swearing and run time,” noticed u/Designasim on Reddit. “Also they cut Tate dropping his ice cream.”

Not everyone is a fan of the network edit; one Redditor, u/Sensitive-Region4925, called the changes “weird and awkward to say the least.” The edits aren’t enough to discourage viewership, though. Airing “Yellowstone” on CBS has turned Paramount’s cash cow into an even greater asset. During the Season 1 run on CBS, an average of 5.49 million viewers tuned in for each episode.
