With the freedom Masters of Horror had, it did NOTHING to improve the actual content. If anything, the scripts were written badly(even though the directors tried their best). The whole "On Showtime they could do anything they want" only meant to add extra gore, cursing and nudity because, frankly, all that SAVES a movie or television show that lacks a good script!! Bullshit. If anything, anthology horror shows like Twilight Zone, Tales from the Darkside, Outer Limits, Night Gallery and some others prove that you don't need over gore, over sex or cursing to make truly fucking creepy stories. And that, my friends, is how you succeed in horror. You aren't suposed to rely on JUST gore or nudity. That's all garnish on the cake. Mind you, I don't think they'll slack off in the gore department. A lot of crime dramas are gory. I recall watching an episode of Law & Order(which is also on NBC) where a room was basically splattered with blood all over the walls, and there were bodies and chunks of meat everywhere. If Law & Order can get away with that, Fear Itself can as well!!
