OK, it's now official - RadioTimes.com lists Monday 7th's Simpsons episode as Bart of Darkness. Although bizzarely it lists it as a repeat.

It would do, since it is. Although it's not been on C4 before, it has been on terrestrial tv before. There is occasionally a note in tv listings mags that will say "Orginally shown on (whatever channel)" when a show moves from station to station. Haven't seen it with the simpsons though, usually reserved for UK shows.

December's schedules still remain unannounced.

There is one thing we're sure of: Simpsons Christmas Stories will air on either the 11th, 18th or 25th of December. (Can't possibly be the 4th because we have to be at least a week behind, and that would have meant that SCS would have aired in the US in November.)

Thanks for the news updates. Personally, I felt that Doomsday certainly wasn't as good as Holy Guest Star, but as far as a religious themed episode can go, it was rather good. I enjoyed the vision of Heaven, and Homer was strong throughout.

The best God/Homer moments will always be from Homer the Heretic.

As for American Dad!, I didnt really like it. Seth MacFarlanes brand of humour tends to be to just go for the laughs, and to hell with the emotion. I enjoyed the characters of Steve and Roger quite a bit though. Although Klaus the fish was awful.

Anyone who has the November issue of SKY magazine will notice that it lists November 27th as a new episode as well. It doesn't say which episode but I think it'll probably be THOH XVI as it's normally shown in November. It also mentions the christmas special in the 'next month' section, which has already been mentioned.

Yeah, I'm confused about the Christmas episode. It says the first full Simpsons episode made specially for the festive season. But it's not the first they've made for Christmas. Anyone know what they mean?

Everytime I look to see what episodes they're showing on Sky, they're the crap ones. What happened to Seasons 7-10...?

Actually, Seasons 1, 6, and 10 haven't been on TV for aaages.

There's a problem about rights to 1, apparently how it's way shorter than the other seasons, and 6 starts the 7th on C4.

It's weird how series are shown. In 1998/9 Series 9 was shown again and again and again on Sky, then it disappeared for ages, and now it's being shown again and again and again...again. Still, I don't think I'd seen some episodes (The Joy of Sect, for example) in about three years, so it's good to have them back. The sooner they show Series 10 again, though, the better.

Why can't we have Halloween specials early again? Treehouse of Horror IX premiered over here only a WEEK after the US! Now we have to wait three times that amount!

I think Heartbroke Kid airs tonight on Sky one!

And can anyone tell me when Sky are repeating "Holy Guest Star", "Hail Mary Pass" and "Thank God, it's Doomsday", because I missed them the first/second times around.

Hail Mary Pass is on again on the 25th of November, but it'll probably be December/January before the others are repeated.

snrub

10-30-2005, 11:13 AM

There was a clear cut from Heartbroke Kid on Sky tonight - I don't know what was missing, but it was clear something was cut. It's where Bart is at home surrounded by people giving him advice on losing way. Krusty starts his story - says two lines then cuts to bart saying "Thanks for that story in an entertaining way".

I say it's a cut as the angle changes - and if it's a joke about how Krusty's story was crap (or the lack of the story) then the joke itself is crap, but it looked all the world a cut to me.

Anyone know what I'm on about and care to explain! :)

Veryjammy

10-30-2005, 11:21 AM

I didn't see the Sky airing, but the version of the episode I saw had Krusty saying something along the lines of he got addicted to freebasing moon rocks, then we see him light a small bong-type thing, inhale, then says 'All this does it get me back to normal'. Something like that anyway, I'm a little hazy, I'm sure someone else can be more precise. When I saw it I thought it was the type of thing Sky would cut.

UK DVD news - posted this in the S7 thread, but I know not everyone checks that. S7 should be released on 30th January according to Play and Fox's upcoming release page. Hopefully it wont slip like s6 - I think that was because of the box situation being changed at the last moment, but with them having more time to sort it out, I think the release date should stick.

10-31-2005, 05:44 AM

Personally, I don't. Fox UK seemed to do a U-turn on the homer head box after the US launch, which is why it was delayed IMO while they could produce enough Magnifying Glass covers to send out to all shops, instead of being an alternate.

Now that S7 will have both boxes available from the outset in the US, I think the date will stick - maybe a week either way but not the whole month and a half like S6

It wasn't even a proper channel; during the day it was Fox Kids. They used to show things like Xena and some programme about Hercules.

It seems that Sky Mix and the new Sky Three show every Sky One show except for the Simpsons. I guarentee they would get better ratings if they dedicated one channel to 24 hours of Simpsons every day.

11-02-2005, 10:23 AM

Definatly not on Sky Three, due to it being on Freeview and thus being a free-to-air channel and the rights for OFF on free-to-air lie with Channel 4. I suppose they could show OFF on Sky Two, but with it being on Sky One two(or three or four depending on what day it is) times a day then they probably don't feel the need for it to be on there.

Sky has Sand And Fog scheduled for that slot, so I'm wondering how the Daily Mail could get Bonfire's info mixed up with Sand and Fog's (it has Sand and Fog's info for the new episode on Sunday).

H Thompson

11-05-2005, 03:26 AM

Because it's been changed at the last minute, t.v guides are printed a couple of weeks beforehand, but the Sky interative guide can be updated at the last minute, for example the recent Henman vs Murray game was added to the digital guide because BBC decided they wanted to show it, but radio times didn't know that when they print their magazine.

Here's Something very intresting, the radio times website, is showing ghostbusters (the film not the animated series) instead of the Simpsons on the 18th Nov, I assume this might mean their not trying to get through all of s12 and are could start showing s13 any time from Nov 25th.

I think Channel Four, have done well with The Simpsons. It was always going to be a kick in the teeth with the adverts but I think they've done well. Yes people will moan about cuts but, they will just get in trouble. To be honest I hardly watch the 6pm ones now as I have them on DVD and just like to watch them when I can be bothered. Though, when I can still watch the Season 11 and 12 ones. This year will be another fun year, with Season 13 opening. This will mean seeing a few again (that I have missed on Sky). I will be able to watch The Bart Wants What it Wants for the first time and see classics such as Little Girl in the Big Ten and Half- Decent Proposal. Here's to anouther year with 4!

Seeing Treehouse of Horror V uncut for the first time a few years ago was a real eye-opener.

I thought Willie being there was the joke, he opens the door and - wow! - Willie's there. Next scene.

Usually what they won't allow at 6:30 they'll allow at 7pm (or possibly 8pm), so things cut from the premieres are sometimes shown on the repeats (excluding the Encore slot). Things like the "This just in, I'm pissed off" line from She Used To Be My Girl as been reinstated, but was missing from the original airs.

Pretty good, but not as good as The Heartbroke Kid, which got 1.428 million according to Barb.co.uk.

I think I'm right in saying that highest rated Sky One episode was the premiere of Skinner's Sense of Snow in 2001 (1.65 million). Wonder if that'll ever be beaten?

Quite a negative report about OFF's performance on Channel 4 at 9pm

Special report: Channel 4 | Television

Channel 4 stirs up Friday nights

Channel 4 is experimenting with its Friday night schedule, running movie repeats such as Ghostbusters and a tribute to Ronnie Barker in the 9pm slot that was the home of Friends for years.
The trial will begin a week today, when Ghostbusters will appear between 8pm and 10pm.

It is almost unknown for Channel 4 to run an old movie on a Friday night, where for years the network has showcased its best US and homegrown comedy.

The following Friday, a Heroes of Comedy documentary about Barker will be repeated between 9pm and 10pm.

A Channel 4 spokeswoman said the scheduling decision was a temporary measure that would begin on the night of the BBC's annual Children in Need charity show and run for three weeks.

She added that original comedy and entertainment would return to the Friday 9pm-10pm slot, pointing out that Channel 4 was lining up Christmas specials, new sitcom the It Crowd and a second run of panel show 8 Out of 10 Cats.

However, the fact Channel 4 has scheduled the repeats suggests it is losing its grip on the Friday 9pm comedy slot.

New episodes of Friends appeared in the slot for nearly six months every year for a decade, ending in May last year. They regularly attracted 3-5 million viewers.

Last November, Channel 4 launched The Simpsons at 9pm on Fridays amid much promotional fanfare, having taken the show from BBC2.

The Simpsons' Channel 4 debut attracted 3.6 million viewers and a 16% audience share.

Last year, during the equivalent three-week period in late November and early December, the network was running The Simpsons and the Phoenix Nights spin-off, Max and Paddy's Road to Nowhere, between 9pm and 10pm.

The Simpsons averaged 2.4 million viewers and a 10% audience share; while Max and Paddy drew 2.7 million and 12%.

In the past four weeks, the Simpsons has averaged 1.7 million viewers and an 8% share. It has been followed by Rock School with 1.6 million and 7%.

Channel 4 is continuing to run new comedy at 10pm - the third series of Peep Show launches in that slot tonight.

It's really annoying they feel the need to cut bastard, BBC have broadcast episodes with Bastard left intact.

Anyway maybe I'll have some sort of review later since I recorded it and I'm not quite sure what to make of it, but probably a B

The episode tonight was brilliant - couch gag one of the best in ages - animation great, plot strong and the ending was good, too. All the jokes worked, although I feel the visit to the Stamp Museum went on a bit long. Would've liked to see more of Gravedigger Billy and I wasn't sure about the Chief Wiggum thing. Apart from that, it was an excellent episode and could become a classic in time. A+

What about the part where Bart didn't care that Lisa was in danger?

What about the unresolved ending?

Quite poor parts IMO.

The episode had its problems and I found the stamp museum a bit long and boring. Other from this the episode was great. B+/A-

1.They were funny, it's just you that can't handle anything remotley dark, most people liked them.
2. He didn't think she was in any serious danger.
3. What was unresolved? Lisa had got over her fears through the dream sequnce.

11-13-2005, 12:01 PM

1. I don't like the idea of Willy being a murderer. Keep this to THoH. And yes I can, but not in this way.

3. no no, the graveyard was still there.

1. willy wasn't a murderer, his brother was. what the hell show were you watching?

3. there was an episode where the power plant was just opposite the simpsons house, you know.

3. yeah but that was different, it streched way back. Plus that was just a quick gag.

H Thompson

11-13-2005, 01:20 PM

I presume he means willy being murderd, but it's no different than moleman dying every week, I know that's kind of the whole joke of moleman but I don't see why it can't extend to willy for a quick joke.
And Bart had no reason to care since he didn't think she was in any real danger.
as for point 3, So, don't be such a nerd.

Drunk Barney

11-13-2005, 01:27 PM

Why should they expand. As you say, the Molemen thing is a joke, lets not expand with other characters. I don't think the Bart issue was big, though I just think it was a tiny bit out of character. I guess, I win about the third point. Again it isn't major, though they could of just done some quick gag to get rid of it, e.g cut that stupid Chief W naked joke and Bingo, you have some room.

H Thompson

11-13-2005, 01:30 PM

You don't win with the 3rd, if you think it's a big problem you suck (no offence) it would have taken away from the focus of the episode, it would have made the episode worse.

Butters

11-13-2005, 01:31 PM

we never saw willy get hit, so the joke is entirely implied. what happened to willy is left to your imagination.

his brother may have just knocked him into an open grave to rape him or mug him or something.

I'm sick of everyone suddenly complaining about how stuff isn't resolved at the end of episodes. The same things have always happened throughout the entire series, it's part of the show.

I haven't seen the episode since September, but IIRC the groundskeeper Willy/Billy stuff wasn't resolved. It seemed like they were going somewhere with that, but nothing really happened.

there wasn't much to really be resolved with the willy/billy stuff. it was just a short gag. the birth of that billy character was just to create a scarier atmosphere, and to give something to further scare lisa, something that isn't inanimate. and when lisa witnesses him club his relative over the head with a baseball bat, it scares her further because there's a crazy guy with a bat across from her room.

dr. nick was there just so that for a moment we would think lisa's finally found someone who can look after her. but, even as predictable as it is, we find out that dr. nick is another creepy character. how would you feel if you saw your doctor in a graveyard digging up bodies? his sole reason for being there was to create an even more intense and spooky environment for lisa to be in. wiggum, lou and eddie had little reason to be there, though, besides more nudity.

Well as for TGWSTL it was alright. I thought it was great at first but when I look back at it, it was pretty meh. Not really that funny, although I thought Gravedigger Billy was a pretty good idea. The plot was so-so, sleep deprivation has been done before but it wasn't really the focus of the episode as the title may suggest. Anyway it was OK - 7/10

EDIT: THOHV just aired and I don't think anything was cut but I didn't see all of the episode. No C4 cuts on season 6 yet, next I'm looking out for Grampa Vs Sexual Inedequacy.

Yeah, I suppose. I think I was just expecting it to become part of the plot (e.g. Lisa helps the police arrest Billy for trying to kill Willy), mainly because the scenes weren't funny. If something isn't funny it should be a part of the plot.

I did thoroughly enjoy The Girl Who Slept Too Little. Great episode with a nice flowing story, and Lisa-centric episodes tend to be very cleverly written, or have some philosophical statement they are trying to put across, but I also like it when they show Lisa exactly as an 8 year old girl should be - quite erratic sometimes, and she was also addicted to phoning the Corey hotline, as well as falling in love with the wild librarian kid, so to see her acting afraid in an episode, and being rational about it was a good dynamic in a great episode.

There is only one Simpsons episode this Friday, unfortunately, but they are repeating a Ronnie Barker themed special, so you can't complain.

And on a side note, Peep Show is an excellent Channel 4 show, and as you probably know the Series 2 DVD was released on Monday.

Bonfire of the Manatees is being shown on 11th December and repeated on Christmas Day. There are also loads of Christmas-themed episodes on the 25th (Simpsons Roasting On An Open Fire, Miracle On Evergreen Terrace, Dude, Where's My Ranch?, 'Tis The Fifteenth Season), so it is possible we will get Simpsons Christmas Stories, too.

I am pretty annoyed with Channel 4 at the moment. I'm getting rather sick at their treatment of The Simpsons. It's annoying enough having to wait four years to see "new" episodes of the show (I don't have Sky and probably never will at this rate due to a number of reasons), and now it's got worse as it seems as though although they have the rights to Season 13, they can't even be bothered airing it. As a matter of fact, I think they're being worse than the BBC's treatment of the show. Now, I'm not expecting a new episode everyday like the people in the Mirror, but come on...could you at least speed up? Is there any way that one can voice their opinions to C4? Thst used to be my favourite TV channel, but I'm beginning to lose faith in them... :angry:

Perhaps he was referring to the fact that Season 2 and 3 seem to get a lot of air time (they have as well; in addition to occassional re-runs on weekday evenings, watch T4 around lunchtime on Saturday and Sunday, and expect to see constant re-runs of older episodes).

It probably wasn't a cut, they've shown everything uncut so far even Mayor Quimby's oral sex scene, it will all be gone by the next time they show the season with a few bastards and other stuff along those lines.
Anyway I'm glad about season 11, I rarely watch newer episodes because they're not shown all at the same time that I like and because I can't watch themin my room. And if I rewatch Beyond Blunderome and my opinion changes, I might bump my thread, but I doubt it will.

12-07-2005, 08:42 AM

I am actually enjoying rewatching the season 10 episodes as they represent a time when they were new for me, a few years ago when I got digital TV.

Sure. A few episodes are far from classic, but there are a lot of enjoyable moments to be had. For example, Screaming Yellow Honkers is a reasonably good episode, a nice Marge-centric plot where she focuses her desperation on the Canyonero car and starts to live.

A few nice visual gags such as the super halogen lamps and of course the final act - the credits alone are strong.

May I ask, what was the Quimby oral sex joke, sorry if this has gone over my head, so to speak, but I can't remember this right now...?

Adamm R)))

12-07-2005, 11:19 AM

The Quimby oral sex joke was from Homer Badman, when Willie plays the tape proving Homer's innocence to Homer, the first thing on the tape it shows a woman in the back seat of a car against the door with Mayor Quimby in front of her. You see Quimby's head go down and a few 'Yeah baby's. It's been cut a lot from Britain. When I got the Season 6 DVD, it shocked me because it's so clear what he's doing, rather than it being implied as normal.

As for recent ratings news, by the way, Simpsons are doing well on Sky:
"...But with BBC1 and ITV1 both a little off their game last night, multichannel cashed in, with a new Simpsons episode at 6.30pm on Sky One the top rating non-sports show of the day outside the five main networks, attracting 1.3 million viewers..."
Simpsons on Channel 4 are doing well, with 6pm shows consistently hitting the 2.5 million mark which are hardly stellar ratings but consistent all the same. Plus, 2.5 million is often enough to secure the top primetime ratings for the day for C4, although, unusually, not the best ratings for the entire day as Noel Edmonds' gameshow Deal or No Deal often scores around 3 million!

The friday evening shows aren't doing so well however- often just 1.8 million tune in.

As much as I dislike Rupert Murdoch's Sky company, you should be blaming Channel 4, to an extent, for no Season 13. They have the rights to it, but they aren't using them. These Celebrity Big Brother things only last a week or so, so hopefully they'll shove the Season 13 episodes on around 6pm after Season 1 ends. They need screening.

But needless to say, that greedy fat cat called Rupert Murdoch is holding up things too much here; see how Sky gets ten seasons, whilst Channel 4 now gets seven, one of which is only really half a season since it has thirteen episodes! It annoys me that I have to download things/get homemade DVDs in order to see new episodes; why should I have to wait a full five or so years in order to see Simpsons Christmas Stories? A year or six months, fine. Half a decade, no. What annoys me more is that people who actually have Sky moan about how nearly all the post Season 8 episodes are bad; erm, perhaps if you had to wait four years to access some of them, then you too would probably appreciate them more. And what annoys me even more is how people with Sky moan that they have to wait a whole month after the US to see new episodes. That's called being ungrateful.

Oh well, take it this way; not having Sky is a good thing. Just remember that a lot of racial prejudece and sexism is found within The Sun, another one of Murdoch's charming aquisitions. ;-/

Tonight's episode was quite weak. The bits up until the car accident were funny, but after that it just became pathetic and very rushed.

It was like "SCCTAGAP" all over again. It took until the 2nd half for the main story to kick in and become a rush-job.

My rating: 2/5

This season has been a huge dissapointment. The only episode I liked was the Christmas one, which was funny throughout especially the "Nutcracker" story. I hope it gets better, but I'm not too optmistic, especially some of the stuff I've read about on various websites.

I wasn't in for it, I guess you could say I didn't See Homer Run... but that would be making a bad joke.

But if you like I could give you my opinion on the new woody allen movie.

Welcome. I think this should be in the UK thread. And Btw 4 have 11,12 and will soon be showing 13. Sky also have S3, so they are mixing them around. But whatever they do they'll always be showing repeats. A new episode can only be shown just over 1nce every 2 weeks, and Sky have them rights. I know what you mean, I thought that at first but when you think of it makes sense. If you've seen all the Simpsons there's little they can do other than wait for the new ones:)

The UK thread is becoming quite dead now, I wonder why?

Probably because Butters has left and Nameless hasn't posted in a long long time. George C seems quieter, Veryjammy doesn't post as much, either does Pro.Frink for that matter. Though Greased Scotsman and Adzzzzzzzzzz have helped to make up for that.

I miss the good old days of late 04 and early/mid 05:D

I'm sure it'll pick up again once C4 start showing Season 13. There hasn't really been much to discuss about UK Simpsons recently, what with Wezzo updating less frequently, too.
