Worst Simpsons censorship YET

[CaptainWacky]

So I was watching The Simpsons on Channel 4 for some reason and it was the Brad Goodman self help episode, and Kent Brockman was on tv. Now in the proper version of the episode, Kent says something about how people are dong what they feel and not holding back and adds "and this reporter feels it's about *beep*ing time." With the swear word beeped out OBVIOUSLY because he's a newscaster. But on this version on Channel 4 he just said "and this reporter feels it's about time." So they actually edited out the bleeped out swear word.

That's right, they censored a word that was (as part of the JOKE) itself ALREADY CENSORED.

I think we can all agree this is a new low and worth a thread!

WEIRD.

And this from the channel that's constantly showing "educational" programs with loads of nudity in them (not that I'm complaining about that... I don't think they should censor nudity OR "bad" language).

Strange

 

[CaptainWacky]

Seriously, they used to let Richard Madeley appear on tv during the day...and they censer a bleeping sound.

THIS HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH CENSORSHIP but it does with The Simpson, ALSO Game of Thrones. http://hbowatch.com/the-simpsons-parody-game-of-thrones-intro/

Probably should have started a new thread? IDONT' KNWO.

It's nice seeing GoT referenced, and I liked the shot of the gorge, but they went a bit nuts with the cogs. Was that for the lolz?

 

[CaptainWacky]

Well I was going to object to "the masters of comedy at The Simpsons" (they all left years ago) but yes that is a pretty good intro!

Homer: THIS IS NED FLANDERS, MY FRIEND!
Lenny: What'd he say?
Channel 4 goes to an ad break

That's so gay.

 

[CaptainWacky]

This time YOU can be the nacho man!

 

[Fuddlemiff]

What else will they censor, but inadvertently make worse?

"I didn't say he was dead... I said he's ****ing with the fishes."

 

[CaptainWacky]

I seriously doubt they include the Uncy Herb "bastard" parts.

 

[Fuddlemiff]

Or Grimey getting electrocuted. They'll just show him saying "I don't follow safety rules!" and then approaching the electro-thing and cut to an ad break, so you never see the ramifications of touching live wires!

They have always been bad, I remember channel four got the first showing of family guy, and the one where Peter inherited a load of money and then blow it ended really suddenly, just before (as I found out watching the DVD he found some 18th centuary porn featuring the president.

Or lets not forget the tea time showing of Angel, where they made so many cuts an episode actually ran for 25 minutes, with adverts.

Plus its the same channel who brought us Homicide life on the streets, and NYPD Blue, then stopped showing it a year before they actually got cancelled.

 

[Fuddlemiff]

Channel 5 show CSI episodes in the middle of the day, which I can't comprehend at all. I mean, the crime scenes and autopsies are really the only thing that make it worth watching, so why would anyone bother if it's all been edited out? The only thing left is Horatio's one liners.

 

[CaptainWacky]

Oh yeah, I forgot 4 tried to show Angel at 6pm on weekdays or something ridiculous like that.

 

[Eggs Mayonnaise]

TNT shows 2 episodes of Angel every weekday at 6AM.

However, I usually have the 3-hour block of I Love Lucy's on at that time, on Hallmark Channel.

The TV is NEVER off in my house.
