Hello, Fatso!

On the Wed night episode the dwarf gets all the kids together and instructs them to all say "Hello, Fatso!" when Cartman arrives. When Cartman enters the room they all said in unison, "Good morning, Fatso!"

When the episode was run again on Thurs it was the same.

When the episode was rerun again on Fri the dialog had been changed so that all the kids said "Hello, Fatso!" Apparently they must have noticed the error and changed it for continuity.

Didn't they rail on George Lukas and Spielberg in a previous episode for practicing the same sort of revisionism?

That's nothing. On it's original run, all incidences of the word "nigger" had been censored in the closed captioning, to either "n-" or "n-word" or "n-guy", totally emasculating the effect of the program. Last night the captioning had been changed to actually spell out "nigger".

My guess is that this episode, for whatever reason, was rushed in production. This would explain why they forgot to include any jokes at all.

I knew "good morning fatso" didnt sound right. Good thing I downloaded the original version with the n word not cencored.

Whew, that *is* a good thing! At least *someone* has a copy without the "cencorship" of the, um, n-word.

Animation is a fickle thing. This wouldn't be the first time changes have occurred. In the episode with the word "shit" aired more than 200 + times, at one point a scene had absolutely no audio in it. It lasted for about 2 1/2 to 3 seconds, but there was no audio. When the episode re-aired on Saturday the audio was there.

Perhaps the broadcasting station had some brief technical difficulties the first time around??

By the way, "shit" was said a mere 162 times in that episode.
