Re-recording: corrected a mistake: "grieve" is a verb, not "grief"
m Undid revision 141835156 by 72.80.110.202 (talk) because the noun "grief" is correctly the object of the verb "to do."
Line 7:
Retroscripting can also refer to the practice of recording new or unscripted dialogue over a [[live-action]] or [[cartoon|animated]] program. It may be done for a number of reasons:
*To capitalize on a late-breaking news story or [[scandal]] and make the episode current,
*To censor potentially troublesome or possibly insensitive dialogue. An episode of ''[[Desperate Housewives]]'' suffered this fate following the passing of the [[Pope John Paul II|Pope]]. A line was redubbed from "You have to hand it to the [[Catholic|Catholics]]. They know how to do grievegrief better than anyone," to "You have to hand it to Gabby and Carlos. They know how to do grievegrief better than anyone."
*If an actor has repeated trouble with a line or word. In [[A Private Little War (TOS episode)|an episode]] of ''[[Star Trek: The Original Series|Star Trek]]'', according to [[William Shatner]], his fellow actor [[DeForest Kelley]] had trouble pronouncing an alien creature's name. The creature's name was "Gumato", but Kelley kept saying "Mugato". The monster eventually became officially known as the Mugato.
