Accoriding to Fux they're showing that mermaid episode next Sunday instead of the Amazon episode (which all of the tv guides say will be playing). Is Fux this so far out of touch with their own programming department or are they intent in showing us Futurama reruns until the season ends.

Apparently there was a, uh, STRONG disagreement between the producers and Standards and Practices regarding some dialogue. Fox has insisted that this ep cannot run without significant additional editing. My guess is that that won't happen, and so the episode will not be shown, ever, at least in U.S.

As I pointed out in an earlier post this already happened to a Married... with Children episode. Fux just refused to buy the episode in dispute. That episode still aired Europe but never in North America. And it will never air or be available on video by the looks and this after a decade.

Never say "never". If an episode is available in Europe, it will be available in the USA somehow, even if just through bootleg versions.

And there have been shows with episodes not shown by the network but suddenly appearing in syndication; I think the first syndicated episode of "Home Improvement" was promoted as being "never shown by ABC".

On Sun, 14 Jan 2001, Don Del Grande stated this considered view. Waking from my doze, I hastily scrawled -

What censors never seem to realise is that 99.9999% of people don't give a shit about the things censors *think* they'll get upset about, and the other 0.0001% can always use the TV remote!

Or, they can scream and moan their utter anguish such a thing could be allowed to exist, irregardless of the fact anyone watches it or not. The fact that raining on other peoples parades is this groups #1 past-time somehow eluded you?
