I take it that Showtime only had one national feed at the time, which on the west coast, made its adult programming available to a wider audience (i.e. kids during prime-time).

No doubt Showtime's "Bizarre" had nudity and profanity; and I take it that "Bare Touch of Magic" had nudity and, maybe, sex.

You're probably right about both of them. Regarding the former, "Bizarre", when it was first syndicated in the fall of 1984, it had to be edited considerably to make it suitable for broadcast TV. If it had aired unedited on broadcast, it wouldn't have gone over well with the FCC and, to some extent, the viewing public.

No doubt CTV and Bizarre's producer, CFTO Toronto, had similar fears about the CRTC -- they also shown a sanitised version to its viewers. It was not known if the raunchier version was shown in late night -- CRTC's standards for late-night programming was somewhat looser than the FCC's; also, First Choice, Canada's first premium channel, did not start until the mid-1980s.

North of the border, Comedy Gold currently shows the censored reruns. From what I understand, I'm aware that KTXL Sacramento ran the uncensored version, but I haven't heard of anyone else brave enough to do it...
