Best Answer

It depends on what you call swear words.

The show airs during the FCC's decency hours. They cannot use any of the "7 Words You Can't Say On Television." (a list comedian George Carlin made up for his act back in the early 1970s because the FCC would not specifically tell anyone which words were specifically banned.) The decency hours are between 6am and 10pm. If you air before or after those hours, their "decency standards" don't apply.

Cable shows are allowed to use swear words as the FCC doesn't rule pay television, but each network also has their own standards and practices and rules for every hour of programming, so no matter what network you are on, they have to approve the script. That is why you can hear swearing on shows that air after 10pm on many cable networks with scripted programming.
