On the DVD the season premiere is edited.
The joke about getting the diploma from the Philippines is out.
The scene used to go:
"OK, before we go any further, can I check these diplomas? Just to make sure they aren't, like, from some med school in the Philippines?"
Now it stops at "JUST TO MAKE SURE THEY AREN'T LIKE..."
I know ABC said they MAY edit the episode in future airing and it doesn't bug me too much just that it was not a big deal and editing it supports people who are too PC and can't take a joke.

I'm sure there are things in every storyline that's existed on the show that's offended someone, but that's no reason to censor it. I thought the show became popular in the first place because it was somewhat outrageous (or, rather, brutally honest).
