Lorelai and Rory managed to get away with a lot during their time on air, but there's no denying that network TV censorship can affect the humour in a show. Where Lorelai Gilmore embarrasses herself by showing up to Chilton in tie-dyed and cutoff jorts (not too embarrassing in the scheme of things), Midge Maisel experiences mortified regret about exposing her breasts for a stand-up bit while she's plastered drunk.
The lack of censorship in the made-for-internet-streaming show suits the subject matter — a woman breaking barriers with edgy stand-up comedy during a time when it simply wasn't done — to a T, and Mrs. Maisel wouldn't be nearly as successful if it were limited by "general audiences" rating standards.
