* Speaking of British children's GameShow, the hard to win ''Series/{{Knightmare}}'' uses "death" a lot.

* Speaking of British children's GameShow, the hard to win The exceptionally hard-to-win childrens' GameShow ''Series/{{Knightmare}}'' freely uses "death" a lot.where it's appropriate.
* ''Series/LabRats'' is particularly egregious about this trope, using "take out" in many situations where "kill" would flow much better with what's being said.

* In one episode of ''Series/ThatsSoRaven'', Eddie is asked to perform for a group of "seniors" (which he soon finds out are senior citizens, not high school seniors), because the original act, according to Cory, "cancelled last night... peacefully in his sleep."

** In one episode, ABC's Standards and Practices department forbade a ''priest'' character from using the word "God" in a comedic context: instead he pointed ceilingward and spoke reverently of ''"Him"''.


Added DiffLines:

* ''Series/StarTrekTheNextGeneration'': Zigzagged -- usually, the show has no problem saying death-related words (e.g., one episode has Troi mention, "You cried when [[DisappearedDad Father died]]" and also mentions the word "suicide" several times, and one episode involves Wesley nearly being executed and clearly uses the terms "execute" and "kill"), however, it still falls into the trap of having Dr. Crusher say, "I'm sorry" or "I did all I could" when patients die instead of outright saying they're dead, and Picard tends to use the term "lost" instead of "killed" when his underlings die.
