Very often foul language is added just for its own sake. To "push the envelope" as idiots like to say. If there was no reason to put it in, there's no reason not to take it out.Besides, I find NYPD Blue every bit as gritty as Sopranos, but without a single f-word.
Hey, remember Jerry McGuire? It was f this and f that for a while, in front of the little boy too, until the kid asked, of no one in particular, "Why does everyone say 'fuck' so much?" Laughed my butt off. It was great writing.
Follow Ups:
About that word: I have rented gillions of A, B, and C grade movies. In B and C's my girlfriend and I, years ago, used to clink glasses everytime somebody said, "Shut the FUCK up." It is the most overused expression on celluloid. It's a better cocktail game than the "Hey, Bob" game from Newhart days.
