Over the last few days I watched a few futurama episodes I had on tape from when they were first aired. I noticed cartoon network has chopped a few bits here and there, anyone else notice this?

Yea they do that to fit a couple more commercials. It's a standard Syndication practice.
within the hallowed halls of:MgJnb.338$[email], Michael Zaite employed much wit to add:
Does this mean Futurama is moving to broadcast syndication allong side The Simpsons? It would be nice if the local station replaced one of the Simpson slots with Futurama.

Simpson
Then write to your local station and tell them that. It's solely up to them to buy the syndication. But I'm not sure if the broadcast syndication rights are available until Cartoon Network airs all of the last season. Don't know though.
No they don't. Explain what you think they cut.

On or about 29 Oct 2003 20:48:12 GMT, Corey M. Barnes made the sensational claim that:
There was definately a cut in last night's showing. I wish I could remember where it was, but oh well. I'll keep my eyes peeled tonight.
Did they show the full or the cut version of Hell is Other Robots?

What was cut from the cut version?
Most of the references to drugs. It's a very poor chop-job -- in a couple of places, the edit actually comes out *advocating* drugs where the original was disparaging.

You seem so sure they dont, but they DO!!!! I wouldn't bring it up if I didn't notice some things on the old tape that I didn't see over this past summer on Cartoon Network. I dont know to what extent they are cutting whole scenes out, because I only noticed 3 or 4 cuts and they were minor, but there could be more.

They did silence the word "Jesus" in Holy/Sweet Zombie Jesus in 2ACV12 and 2ACV13, but that's all I'm aware of...CN seems to be pretty good in keeping the originals.
