I don’t think that was at thing way back in the early 70s. Maybe the show had a “mature audiences” note at the beginning, but I really dunno.

I got it a lot once I started watching Python and Dave Allen.

The Indy station showed Python late enough to not need a warning. I totally forgot about Dave Allen.

This was just WTTW’s own thing then. Python was in safe-harbor but they put the warning there anyways. We used to use “sensitive viewer” as one of our milder playground insults.
As for Allen, I was unfortunately too young, and too unaware of life in the UK to appreciate how subversive he was.
Sunday night was “British night” on WTTW. Python, Allen, and Doctor Who. Started at 10p so 12;30a on Monday morning was when I’d go to bed. Kind of a shitty thing for PBS to do to a kid.

The Indy PBS was kinda schizophrenic about Dr.Who. They’d show a couple of episodes, then none for weeks, then another one, etc. etc. And not necessarily on the same day or time.

Shadow of a Doubt
One of my dad’s faves, but honestly left me a little cold. A little slow, mostly predictable, weak ending. Cotten as a villain is fun.

Compared to the original, the 2016 version is far less “westernish”. I honestly liked the new version a lot, and in many ways because it wasn’t as “westernish” in that it broke a bunch of stereotypes and pushed several formulaic tropes to the curb. It was grittier, but also more personal.
And they didn’t forget to include that wonderful thematic music, but they didn’t depend on it to sell anything. I liked that. James Horner knocked it out of the park, but there was far more than just a nod to Elmer Bernstein.

Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes… The consistency of this franchise is impressive.
