Censors were kept busy Sunday night as three actors slipped in expletives during the live Emmy broadcast.

Ray Romano joked about his former "Everybody Loves Raymond" wife, Patricia Heaton, sleeping with Kelsey Grammer, her co-star on the new sitcom "Back to You."Shame on you. We have TV children!" he said. But he used a stronger word than "sleeping," which prompted Fox to cut away for a few seconds. Romano, wearing dark glasses, headed out the back door immediately after delivering his routine.

Sally Field praised mothers when she won an Emmy for lead actress in "Brothers & Sisters," but let her politics surface with another bleeped comment: "If the mothers ruled the war, there would be no goddamn wars in the first place."

After winning for her role on "Grey's Anatomy," Katherine Heigl also mouthed an expletive, which Fox -- unsuccessfully -- tried to evade with a different camera shot.
