Are the FG eps currently running on their "Adult Swim" block presented as originally aired on Fox? I was considering replacing my eps from the original Fox airings w/the CN versions (mainly because they show the original end credits), but don't wanna do so if they're being subject to syndie-type edits to squeeze in more ad time. Let me know. Thanks in advance!

Nope, CN shows the episodes uncut (with the probable exception of the bin Laden cut in Road to Rhode Island).

Which is why I won't be replacing my Fox airing of said ep. :-)
But I digress...to borrow another show's main character's catch phrase, "Woo-hoo!" I just wish I'd gotten home in time last night to tape Brian in Love to catch the Mr. Rogers gag at the beginning...but since I was w/my new GF, I can't complain too much. :-)
Any word as to if they'll be showing the When You Wish Upon a Weinstein ep? It's not listed on CN's sched for the next mo as of yet...

CN doesn't have it in stock. FOX appears to have it blacklisted for the time being. If CN did have it it would air this coming Thursday, but Da Boom is airing.
and the JFK thing (fox's doing)...
When it comes to commercials, Cartoon Network seems awefully light in that respect. Shows usually have one 2 min break inbetween, end at around :23(:53), and often have a music video filler afterwards.

Which ep had that scene? Did it air on the orig broadcast, or not at all?

I assume he's referring to the first "Futurama" episode; where the first person to enter a transport tube asks to go to "Radio City Mutant Hall", originally it was "JFK Junior Airport". However, between the first and second airings, JFK Junior died piloting a plane, and the change was made (the changed version is on the DVD, and mentioned in the audio commentary).
Note, however, that CN hasn't exactly been letting Futurama through "untouched"; the last word in the phrase "Sweet Zombie Jesus" is removed in one episode.

SZJ is edited in two episodes that I've seen so far (I haven't watched all the CN versions yet).
oh yeah. my bad. :)
i think he means the JFK pez dispenser joke in A Hero Sits Next Door.
oh yeah. my bad. :)
oh...maybe i was. lol. i've only heard of supposed jfk jokes being cut and may have have gotten shows mixed up. don't mind me. :)

I find it odd that they can let the utter blasphemy of the Feast of Alvis episode of Sealab 2021 air, but they won't allow the word Jesus. The words "Sweet Jesus" was the reason that Don Hetzfeld's Rejected was ultiamtely um.... rejected by Cartoon Network.

I guess that's another cut I have an uncut version of. No wonder I worry over my tapes so much ;)
I noticed that the last airing of The Oblongs. I freaked when I got 15 minutes of straight show.

I was worried about that, as they were rolling the credits at :24 on the ep I watched last night. I figure either CN is showing fewer commercials, or they were cutting something out.

Don't worry. It's fewer commercials. CN only has one adbreak, as opposed to FOX's three.
