Maybe dragons took their jobs. Maybe unicorns only hid their jobs because unicorns are dicks. Maybe 'jobs' is only an illusion created by a drug addled infant pachyderm. Fuck dude, if we're in 'maybe' land, don't hold back.

You do NOT have a right to entertainment. Entertainment costs money. You have to pay for it. If you want something that's uncommon you have to pay more. Such is life.
Of course I don't have a right to entertainment. But is it right for a small group of people to force their SPECIFIC TASTES on everyone else in this country?
Nobody is forcing you to watch what they like. Case in point I've never seen LOST. You have access to the entertainment you want. Nothing is banned. You're just throwing a fit because you don't want to pay.
That's not exactly true, the people who censor T.V. are forcing you to watch what they want, or rather not watch what you want.

Except when you buy Showtime, and HBO, and Cinemax, and Adult channels, and Cable.... and DVDs.

Call it a lack of confidence in the entertainment industry. Technically, I should trust the market's ability to provide censored channels for those of us who want them without government interference, and TBH I doubt most channels would change their formats to more vulgar ones even if those prohibitions were lifted. Even so, as I said, I think the more extreme sources of language, violence and sex in the media are a premium people should have to buy.
Charging people extra merely because you have a difference in taste with them. Wow.

Well, we have the right of pursuit of happiness, and maybe my happiness is T.V. and censorship is stopping me from pursuing it.

The pursuit of happiness? REALLY? You think you have a right to TV?
The pursuit of happiness meant you could own land, have certain freedoms, and be able to own your own business. It did not mean the rest of us have to support your wish for raw language or porn on free television.
Go. Buy. Cable.

What if someone wants to offer it for free? Why should it be forbidden for station managers to decide what they put on air?

That's not really a problem for those who want it. Unless of course you're one of those kids at home who wants to watch that stuff, and their parents won't let them.

If you want all adult all the time, there's cable, and there are DVDs. Be an adult.
So that others don't have to be an adult all the time. I see.

I'd like to applaud your excellent usage of the English language. Very clear, I'm glad you didn't have a set meaning behind filth. It's just... Exaggeration. Of nothing in particular. At all.

It’s Against the Law
It is a violation of federal law to air obscene programming at any time. It is also a violation of federal law to air indecent programming or profane language during certain hours. Congress has given the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) the responsibility for administratively enforcing these laws. The FCC may revoke a station license, impose a monetary forfeiture, or issue a warning if a station airs obscene, indecent, or profane material.
Obscene Broadcasts Are Prohibited at All Times
Obscene material is not protected by the First Amendment to the Constitution and cannot be broadcast at any time. The Supreme Court has established that, to be obscene, material must meet a three-pronged test:
*
An average person, applying contemporary community standards, must find that the material, as a whole, appeals to the prurient interest;
*
The material must depict or describe, in a patently offensive way, sexual conduct specifically defined by applicable law; and
*
The material, taken as a whole, must lack serious literary, artistic, political, or scientific value.
