Looking forward to the Onion News program on IFC in January

It starts on January 21. I have high hopes. I’ve been watching their Onion News podcasts for a couple of years and they are very funny and well done. Their radio podcast is excellent as well.

Also, they will begin to rebroadcast David Cross’s Mr. Show around that same time.

I hope they don’t censor these programs.

Did you know ONN’s Brooke Alvarez is played by real (ex) TV newswoman Suzanne Sena?

I did not know that.

Any idea how long these programs are going to be - five minutes? Fifteen minutes? Half an hour?

According to Wiki, the news show will be a half-hour. Actually, 22 minutes plus ad time.

Did you know that the character of Joad Cressbeckler on the Onion News Network is played by veteran New York actor George?

Censorship is the New Way at IFC, so don’t hold your breath. Sure was a rude surprise when black boxes and bleeps appeared out of nowhere all over The Whitest Kids U’Know. What bugs me most is that it’s still showing up on the schedule as “uncensored sketch comedy.”

Actually, I’m more hopeful after New Years Day. They ran a “Larry Sanders Show” marathon all day long that was totally uncensored. All the 'shits; and ‘motherfuckers’ a guy could want.
