I can see how this might backfire. You notice a censored jump and start to feel the itch of curiosity as to what it concealed. I had to watch several of the censored scenes whereas I would have never just randomly watched clips of the show.

Also, love the presentation on this page.

We (the HN crowd, often living in less-censored societies) would be very curious.

I’d like to know how curious this would make non-HN people, and those living in more censored places.

My assumption is that they take it for granted and just continue to watch the show. It might be hard for them to even find the uncensored clips.

in my observation (and it might not be correct), most of ppl around me doesn't even care which part has been censored, watching those sitcoms are just a way to kill time after all. however, you could find those censored clips on some video platforms where censorship is not so strict since there is no clear guidelines about what should not be exist.
