Default classic tv shows you can't mention on ham radio but can on cb

I've recently been watching episodes of the original "Lost In Space"
tv series.

So that's what I would naturaallys mention if I got on the radio since
it's my recent activities.

Except FCC amateur rules say nothing offensive is allowed to be said
over amateur radio.

Now, I myself don't find anything at all offensive about the original
"Lost in Space" tv show, which by
the way was a family tv show aimed at family audiences.

However, certain ham radio operators who were offended that the call
letters W5TIT were said over ham radio
because the last 3 letters are tit would also be offended by the
phrase"bubble-headed booby" being said over
ham radio
..
Or "blithering booby"

or even "the boob tube" which is what several people I personally know
always called tv sets back then.
