Someone explain the rules of swearing on American tv to me.

How come some programmes can use the word cunt and other shows, like sitcoms, have a limit on how many times per season they can say bastard or penis?

In England there are certain channels you're more likely to hear swearing on but really anyone can say anything they like after 9pm. Things like bastard you can get away with a bit earlier.

If you are a network that doesn't require advertising revenue you can say/show whatever content is within the law. Pretty much anything but hardcore porn. Most channels that are able to do this are subsciption based.

Deadwood is a fun show. I started watching it after the Sopranos during the first season and I liked it quite a bit. Is it available on Netflix?
