I really hope it ends or atleast changes dramatically. Milking it for every penny. *shakes his head*
Bl**dy hell! that must be several hundred million for non-exclusive rights to a TV show. crazy!
You see. The simpsons on the BBC is much longer than those on Sky 1. Yet Futurama on Channel 4 is a lot less than Sky. So this is how it looks.
BBC2 - No cuts
Sky - Some cuts (couple second stuff)
Channel 4 - Big cuts
If you watch Futurama on Sky and then on Channel 4 you notice a lot has been cut out. So I fear the same will happen to the Simpsons.
"No homer, I will NOT pay you for sex!"
"But you get sex, I get a bowling team. It's a win-win situation!"
(Cut from Sky episodes)
I can't understand why channel 4 would make cuts. their ad breaks aren't as long as Sky's, and they stick to 1/2hour slots... ?
At the robot strip club. It cut out the bit where Fry said "yeah and look at the something on that one" and then the two benders said "ahh you make me sick"
Then bender gave money to that big one and it says thank you and then for some reason it cuts to a scene with Fry all banged up with bandages. Obviously they cut out the bit where the robot goes on Fry and starts vibrating like a shoe buffer.
They're just a few examples of the cuts in just that episode. That's why I hate watch Futurama on C4.
Doubt it'd happen to the simpsons, as it'll be on in the evenings for sure.
I wish you could see an uncut episode without having to buy the videos.
