When did they started blipping out "God" on TV?

I actually just watched Blazing Saddles last night on youtube. ($2.99 rental)
It seemed to be uncut.

BTW, just for context, as a long ago TV watcher, it was much more common to delete the word " God" from programming due to fear of using His name in vain, not out of fear of offending non-religious viewers.

I wasn't sure what channel it was, but it was regular TV. It was a movie about a cop who won a lottery who shared wit with a waitress. Nicolas Cage and Brigid Fonda. I was watching bits and pieces of it(due to Bridge Fonda), so I was unsure that it was done throughout the movie but it was removed a few times that I noticed?

Well Christianity is no longer acceptable as the mainstay religion is the U.S. Welcome to the Islamification of the Western World.

It hasn't reached here yet. I'm paying for at least 7 Christian/Catholic TV stations on my cable system. No Islamic stations.
