I can’t help but wonder what the hell is wrong with this network. They won’t show a 21 minute cartoon in which an evil, futuristic Santa performs violent acts on equally futuristic, not to mention fictional, characters and yet we get this:
“Married…with children” - in the middle of the “Cosby” decade, we get the raunchiest TV family ever seen. (note: I like the show, just making a point)
Inordinate amounts of “When (nouns) (verb)” type shows.
Assorted police video shows in which REAL PEOPLE do horrible things to other REAL PEOPLE.
Not that this very much similar, but this reminded me of when “The Last Temptation of Christ” was about to be shown on cable, and Cinemax refused to show it, saying it didn’t have artistic value.
You know, Cinemax, the cable channel often called “Skin-a-max” because of the plotless soft-core porn on nearly every night…
And in the coup de grace of idiocy, they also bring us Fox News, a network wher pundits sit around all day being horrified at the types of things being shown by…Fox.
Fortunately, after the deabcle of “Who Wants to Marry a Multi-Millionaire”, FOX decided it would no longer show that kind of programming and take the high road from here on out.
I don’t have a watch with a seconds hand, so I couldn’t time how long that lasted.
What is this referring to? Fox is refusing to air a Futurama episode?
I love Futurama - and last years Christmas was a classic. “You better not breathe, you better not move. You’re better off dead, I’m tellin’ you dude. Santa Clause is gunning you down!”
Of course, they destroyed Santa last year (not that continuity has much place in Groening cartoons).
It was the ep “A Tale of Two Santas” which, according to several episode guides, was never aired. It was replaced by the first Christmas episode. In fact one episode website shows it as being part of the fourth season.
: I killed him!”
