The USA cable channel use to run exploitations movies. They would of course remove the four letter words from the sound track and cut out the gore and soft core scenes. Most of the nudity would also be cut out. Back in those days they would still show bare butt women in thongs and other on cable.
USA's showcase for these exploitation moves was USA UP ALL NIGHT. They would show the type of movies that played in the drive ins or went direct to video.
The show had a few different host but the two I remember were Gilbert Gottfried and Rhonda Shear. The show would play late night on Friday and Saturday and they would each have a show of their own to host. They would appear at the beginning of the show and in between scenes and commercials and make jokes.
They use to air a lot of movies from Troma Studios and a lot of cheap exploitation movies that you would have been embarrassed to rent from the video store.
