Canadian Cuts?

I was watching a tape of Family Guy the other day and noticed an uneven bit which has me wondering if the episodes they're showing in Canada are also being hacked to pieces. (I KNOW I never got to see the Mr. Roger's Neighborhood bit, but then, neither did a lot of people.) The scene in question is right at the beginning of the episode where Quahog is being inundated with "leafers" from New York (...hmmmm...yet another touchy episode we may see pulled for a while.) Joe is waterskiing, and Lois has made a comment to Joe's pregnant wife about how great she looks. She responds that she's been going to Tai Jitsu classes, and Lois should come with her. "I'd love to!" Lois replies. Then the scene jumps, and the next thing one sees is Lois very visibly scowling at Peter who is now being invited to feel the baby kick.

So...did they cut anything?

I just reviewed my Realplayer copy of the episode... it doesn't look like anything was cut out (this is assuming I have the American-aired version, of course) although it's possible something may have been left on the cutting room floor to save time.

It does look chopped but thats how it was aired. What could you have missed anyway, besides Bonnie Swanson sitting down?

Judging from the look Lois was giving Peter, I would say a lot could have been missed. Ah, well...I was just wondering how far Canadian censorship had gone...just what, if anything, they were deeming unsuitable for the viewers...doesn't look like it's that bad yet. (Although I still want to see Stewie trash Mr. Roger's Neighborhood!)

Meow meow meow skin graft.

Canadian censorship ha! Have you ever watched CTV(Not Cable) they showed Striptease uncut and has shown Sopranos' first season twice. We've been able to say shit and fuck on TV for a long time and the US just recently let shit be said (HBO and other Cable TV excluded) from what I gather from the Southpark episode "It hits the fan".
