No, I don't think there are any lightning flashes in the opening. Theories from the start of the thread:

- Error in transmission
- They think the viewers can't read Roman numerals
- Because it's no longer Halloween
- They were given an episode with the TV and title blanked out for some reason
- They were given a foreign version of the episode, where the text at the start would be blanked out for text in the proper language (could be what's up with Insane Clown Poppy's blackboard gag. Come to think of it, will Insane Clown Poppy still have that same awful cut into the break, I wonder...)
- They were testing their episode cutting skills

THOH 12 was as bad as ever. We have something meh but quite harmless save a few cringeworthy moments, something that isn't Halloweenish at all and what appears to be an excuse to be as violent as possible. With dolphins. Might put it in at the next NHC Bottom 50 Episodes Competition, I think.

11...THOH 11 ...if you're talking about the one with "Night of the Dolphin", "Ghost Dad", etc ;)

Ugh, normally when I leave the board for about a week something big happens. So I thought it would be the announcement that C4 are finally showing season 13. I can't even be bothered to be disappointed anymore.

ANTI-ENGLISH MEMBER INVASION! EXTERMINATE!

All extremely poor Doctor Who references aside, we're not up to the end of Big Brother yet, are we? So, as already speculated, the worst programme in the world could end, then we could have S13 and S14 at the same time, which might mean that C4 would then (eventually) catch up...

^Let's not get our hopes up.

If c4 keep delaying, their going to be over 5 years behind sky which is just appaling and outrageous.

And they'd be in danger of eventually showing new episodes after they'd been released on DVD, especially if they keep delaying and Fox keeps releasing 2 seasons a year.

That will never happen, believe me. They have to show S13 after Big Brother, otherwise they're being ridiculous.

I can see c4 doing some huge marketing campaign when they eventually get round to showing the new eps, cos probably everyone's forgotten about the show on c4 (maybe...i have at least)

Not by a long shot, we've still got about 8 weeks more.

I bet C4 won't even show season 13 at the end of BB. Knowing them I bet they'll leave it so that they can tie in with the movie or something ridiculous.

Nameless

06-22-2006, 08:42 AM

...Tie in with the movie? Seriously, I really doubt that even some sort of money-crazed television channel executive would delay the new episodes for another year to tie in with a movie. If we're going to get them any time soon, we're getting them after Big Bother (not a typo).

Drunk Barney

06-22-2006, 08:46 AM

That's a very good thought Adam, and sadly I fear there's a fair chance of that happening. That would then mean it would then run into Season 15 meaning 18 months of so of new Simpsons! Maybe...

Drunk Barney

06-22-2006, 08:47 AM

...I didn't see Nameless's post BTW, incase it looked like a snappy reply. But whilst I agree it would be crazy to hold it over that long, I do think there a fair chance, or atleast holding Season 14 for a while...Basically it's a question of will C4 be even more crazy?

Adamm R)))

06-27-2006, 12:49 PM

Big Bother (not a typo).
How clever and original ;-/
Anyway Hungry, Hungry Homer was on tonight and they have a really crap commercial cut that they continue to use for some reason. It's in the bar, just after Homer says about 'helping out the little guy'. It cuts right after that and before Lenny enters. It seems very sudden and it cuts Homer off a tiny bit. C4 should try and fix that. The act break isn't long after that.

Nameless

06-27-2006, 12:51 PM

That's where it actually cuts to the adverts in the US, so I suppose we only have whoever decides the commercial spots to blame.

Of course, I didn't actually watch the episode, but for the last few airings the break was spot on, so it's entirely possible that they decided to move it to a few seconds earlier for some reason...

Adamm R)))

06-27-2006, 12:55 PM

C4 decide the commercial cuts don't they? Because sometimes they wait until the end of act 2 to have it. I don't think it did move, because it was like that on the last airing (Christmas Day, I believe), I exagerated a little. But it just doesn't seem right to me.

As Nameless said, that is the actual act break. On my downloaded copy after Homer says "cos that's the kind of guy I am this week" there's a little pizzicato string sound and quick fadeout, it almost looks like a bad cut anyway.
What was the break you were thinking of?

Wettest Stories seemed pretty pointless. The stories were boring. Marge's comment about the second story made me smile, because it's normally true. The only joke that made me laugh was the 'land ho' bit. Overall not great. Plus, did anyone see all the publicity the last Malcolm In The Middle was getting? If a show that shit had all that publicity, I can't imagine what it's going to be like when OFF finishes.

They wouldn't air S13 in the 6pm slot. They'll get more ratings on the Fridays at 9 spot.

Following S1 on C4 is S3 again starting with Brother Can You Spare Two Dimes. Looks like they're going to go through all or some of the seasons they have then maybe show S8 in time for the DVD (the last S8 episode scheduled on Sky is at the end of July).

Simpsons Forever!

The only good thing about this is that I may get to see season 8 again. That's the ONLY thing I find good about this. God, channel 4 are driving me nuts. :angry:

Adamm R)))

07-06-2006, 08:03 AM

^Is it just me or do you have an angry face in every single post? Normally it's about C4 not showing season 13 or people saying bad stuff about the Lovejoys. I think you need to calm down a little. Or if you are calm, just use less angry faces because they make you look angry.

Anyway, I'm a bit annoyed about this (even though, I'm not sure why we're commenting on this now, because we've known this for weeks), I like to watch The Simpsons on C4, because I'm normally eating then. When I've seen all of these episodes so many times on DVD, it seems a bit pointless.

And by the way, for anyone that doesn't normally visit the NHC City Hall, the NHC Map (http://www.nohomers.net/vbgooglemapme.php) is up, so add yourself if you want, because the UK is pretty empty at the moment.

Wow, bootsales rock.

I saw a video at one today that said 'Simpsons' on it (written in pen on a blank label), decided to buy it (bought it with about four other videos for £1) and it was a heck of a lot older than I thought it was - it's taped off Sky One, and looking at a schedule guide the date is the 29th October 1995!!

I didn't have Sky at the time, or indeed had seen a single Simpsons episode, but it's really great to see what the show was like on the channel before there was competition from BBC2/Channel 4. It was near Halloween so the two episodes are Treehouse of Horror III and IV. There's also some other shows on the tape including Mighty Morphin' Power Rangers, as well as loads of adverts (including ones plugging virtually every games console around and the UK TV premiere of Jurassic Park), which bring back memories. The break bumper is different, too, being a still of the Simpsons opening instead of animated like it is now (anyone know when it changed? Had done so by 1998), and it's a man instead of a woman announcing. And no on-screen logo!

Hello, my fellow Britons! Though I haven't been posting in this thread very much, rest assured that I have been looking through it time and time again. Anyway, I haven't been watching much Simpsons (aside from the new episodes on Sky and the occasional episode here and there). Naughty me. Right, well, the purpose of this is that for the first time in a long long time, I watched The Simpsons on Channel 4 on Friday. I noticed that it wasn't sponsored by Pizza Hut anymore. When did the sponsorship end? (Apologies if this had already been mentioned and I just plain forgot about it). Perhaps viewers were getting fed up of seeing the same old episodes and no new ones, and turned off in droves, prompting Pizza Hut to terminate their sponsorship?

07-11-2006, 11:02 AM

Anybody realise C4 switching Bart The Genius and There's No Disgrace Like Home? My theory is that they moved There's No Disgrace Like Home to 7/7 because Bart The Genius contains a train crash and an explosion and they couldn't show Homer's Odyssey because it has a suicide theme. Both of these probably would've been deemed unappropriate on the anniversary of the 7/7 bombings. Sounds a little over sensitive, I know, but C4 are probably being extra careful after they were under fire for that New Orleans thing.

Simpsons Forever!

07-11-2006, 02:35 PM

^I can see why they swapped Bart The Genius around for 7th July anniversary, but did it air today, anyway? Because of what happened in India today, C4 could be in even more trouble for showing that scene than if they had stuck to 7th July.

The lack of adverts and more professional cutting made BBC2 much better than C4.
I can't believe C4's editing sometimes, there was an episode of Lost the other week that cut to an advert break half a second into the titles (the bit when the big LOST comes on screen). And they always go to breaks right in the middle of scenes.

07-17-2006, 06:26 AM

^Well I thought it wasn't long, but then they've added in 5 more housemates, so numbers are pretty high. I think there's 10 housemates at the moment and they need to whittle it down to 4 for the final, so there's probably seven weeks more. But that's only if they stick to schedule, which they won't since they added so many new housemates in, there's probably double evictions planned.

I'm sure you don't care about Big Brother though, so in short, about 6 Fridays left, at the very least.

07-17-2006, 12:35 PM

Dunno if this has been mentioned before, but I pressed the 'i' button on my remote as an episode of The Simpsons was starting on Sky One earlier (it gives me the episode and a plot synopsis), and it said the episode was called 'Homer and the Heretic'. It turned out to be Homer and Ned's Hail Mary Pass, although I still hadn't seen it before (gotta be one of the most insane/wacky episodes ever. I can see why some like it and some hate it).

Anyone know why it listed a completely different title? Was it a working title or something?

Adamm R)))

07-17-2006, 12:39 PM

I'm not sure, there are some different titles. Natural Born Kissers is always listed as "Margie, May I Sleep With Danger?" as far as I know. Also, I know Secrets Of A Successful Marriage had the last word ommitted for quite a while. And also on Midnight Rx, it still (I think) says 'new' on every airing before the title, as it does on new episodes.

None of that helpful, but worth pointing out :silly:

Look at Billy's post closer. He said Homer AND the Heretic. It could've been an original name, that was a call back to Homer The Heretic (much like Lisa Gets An 'A' was a call back to Bart Gets An 'F'), which actually would've been a better name IMO.

I am aware of what he posted and yes it could of been a call back, but then again it could just be Sky One being dumb and not only listing an episode incorrectly, but also screening the wrong episode too. It could happen.

Billy

07-17-2006, 03:48 PM

The episode description matched that of Hail Mary Pass, stating that Michelle Kwan guest starred, etc.

The weird thing is that although 'Margie, May I Sleep With Danger' has been known as an alternate title for Natural Born Kissers for a while now, and is on Wikipedia, this Hail Mary Pass alternate title seems to be unknown by everyone. A Google search reveals a grand total of 0 results.

HABF12 Girls Just Want To Have Sums

Harry Shearer was also on Radio 2 with Jonathon Ross today. He was still talking about his show, but they briefly mentioned The Simpsons.

I will for sure.

1) I haven't seen most of these episodes since original airings
2) Being able to watch these in the comfort of my own room allows me to take in more. When I'm watching new episodes, everyone is talking in my living room and it's normally meal time around the time soon. Having season 13 shown on C4 will prevent this, especially if it's on at 9pm.

If we're assuming that following S13 C4 will go straight into S14, I think it's very unlikely that the complete seasons will come out before those seasons are aired on terrestrial.

By the way Harry Shearer is interviewed in this months (Ugh) FHM.
I just read it in WHsmith, I'm sure you'll all do the same (except nameless, I'm sure you buy it every month) it's not a great interview with them asking some stupid laddish questions. But might be a worth a look anyway.

By the way I think he's performing at the Edinbrugh Festival, that's why he's doing all these things at the moment.

Did it come across as I was being serious? If I did - it wasn't meant to be. It's sometimes difficult to put a sarcastic tone of voice into written text.

Speaking of humour, did anyone see The Law of the Playground? Quite good I thought - most of the things seemed to be right (I've still got another year of secondary left). What was Jayne Middlemiss doing on there though? Surely it was for comedians? Patrick McGuiness was a good choice, along with Alan Carr.

08-04-2006, 12:55 PM

I wonder how Channel 4 will treat Weekend At Burnsie's, come to think of it? I presume all S13 episodes will be on at 9pm on Fridays, after the watershed, so maybe they'll be able to keep it intact. Even then, do you reckon some parts will be cut?

Adamm R)))

It'll definitely air at 9pm or later, that's for sure. I can't see this airing any earlier, unless it was cut to pieces.

08-04-2006, 01:46 PM

YAY! finally, we've got a 'confirmed' date. Hopefully c4 won't welch out again like before. Admittedly I'm very surprised they're showing 2 on the same night, I felt sure they'd want to extend the series to as long as possible.

As for Weekend at Burnsie's, I think it'll be shown at 9pm like the rest. C4 don't seem to worry about episodes shown at that time -- nothing's been cut from any so far.

Weekend at Burnsie's is probably the only episode that will be rated '15' when on DVD. I can't see the BBFC rating it 12 or less. Tough luck for under 15s who want to buy S13 when it comes out. ;)

Adamm R)))

08-05-2006, 05:24 AM

This has been mentioned several times before. I think there's a good chance it'll be rated 15, yet some people have argued that a cartoon character using drugs, no matter how heavy the reference is, isn't real, so they would probably class it as a mild reference.

Cartoon characters have been stabbed to death, I'm sure Scratchy has a couple times. But as for sex, that's much more frowned upon anyway. They can't even show vegetables over two inches long in anything below an 18 certificate.

08-06-2006, 10:30 AM

SPOILER WARNING. If you do not wish to read about S13 (especially for those who have not seen it yet), DO NOT read this post.

Here's a list of cuts attributed to Season 13 when aired on Sky One. These episodes all aired before the watershed (9pm), so it'll be interesting to see which ones Channel 4 cut. If the double-bills start at 8:30pm perhaps they will cut the first one?

Treehouse of Horror XII
Act 2, when Marge tries to call the police
UltraHouse (Pierce Brosnan): This is constable Wiggum. We'll be right there. Please, take off your knickers and wait in the bath.

I Am Furious (Yellow)
Act 1, Willy and Seamus fight
Willy: Ach, ya speak like a poet, betcha punch like one too!
(Willy and Seamus start to fight.)
Seamus: Oh, ow, ya bastard!
Willy: Gah!
(Willy punches Seamus away.)

The Sweetest Apu
Act 1, during the Civil War re-enactment
Mayor Quimby: And now... let the battle be joined.
(Pan upwards as an Abraham Lincoln look-a-like shoots himself in the head. The battle commences.)
Lenny: Bang Bang!
Carl: Pow Pow!
Moe: Hit with stick!
(Moe hits a solider with a stick)
Moe : Ya bastard.

Act 3, Apu is about to hang himself
Apu: (tying noose) Over, under, round and round, so your feet won't touch the ground.
(Apu swings the noose over a pipe, it's ready to hang him.)
Apu: Now, let's see what a waits me in the next life. First I was a tiger, than a snake, then a goat, then me, next... oh a tapeworm... then, assistant to Lorne Michaels. Oh, it's going to be a rough couple of life times.
(Apu puts his head in the noose, as Manjula, Marge and Homer walk in.)

The Frying Game
Act 1, after Homer is caught attempting to kill the screamapillar
Judge Snyder: Homer Simpson, for attempted insecticide and aggravated buggery, I sentence you to 200 hours of community service.

Act 3, Homer is taken down the aisle about to be executed
Insane Prisoner: You can forget it, 'Cause I'm gonna kill you!
(Cut to Electric Chair)
(Homer is being strapped in. One guy pulls a sponge out of a bucket of water, he clenches it as water escapes. He then places it on Homer's head. Wiggum sheds a tear.)

Act 3, after a call from the governor
Yes Guy : The governor says he hopes you're a twitcher. Oh Yes!
Homer: Oh.
Wiggum: Chin up, Homer. 'Cause we gotta put an electrode there to ground the Brain Stem.
(Homer raises his head as Wiggum does what he just said.)
Wiggum: Thank you.
(Wiggum turns and puts his thumb up to the Officer at the lever.)

Act 3, a couple of seconds after the above cut
Marge : I'll always love you.
(The Officer pulls the lever, as Homer lets loose a loud scream.)
Officer : You're on frame-up!

Thanks very much to www.thebritsons.co.uk and it's fabulous webmaster Liam for the above information.

I think the only thing Channel 4 will possibly cut is the word "bastard", if the episode airs before 9pm.

Nameless

08-06-2006, 01:24 PM

Those Frying Game cuts really are ridiculous.

I think we'll get the episodes intact aside from any slowdowns on flashing scenes (no, not that sort of flashing!).

If my counting is correct and C4 continue to air double-bills then Weekend will be aired as the second part of a double-bill, so they might start the double-bill later in order to air it intact. I'll be very surprised if it makes it onto the T4 strand, though.

Adamm R)))

08-06-2006, 01:30 PM

Those Frying Game cuts really are is ridiculous.

And I'm sure that the 3rd act cut from The Sweetest Apu was reinstated at one point, I definately think I've seen it.

Wezzo

08-06-2006, 10:56 PM

Am I the only one that thinks the double-bill is probably just for the first week?

edit: Ah, it seems I'm not.

For what it's worth, I think Weekend at Burnsie's will get a 15 too. Some Family Guy episodes have been passed 15 based purely on drug references I seem to recall, and while they may be considered 'stronger' references, they're not as prolonged as the references in WAB, which drag through half the episode.

Although that's a possibility, I think it's more likely that they are showing a lot of season 14+ because they will be handing season 14 over soon (and therefore want to show it while they can). The complete lack of S8 episodes is perhaps because they are saving it for when they have to hand it over to Channel 4 (in a few months, perhaps?).

Their pitch was "every episode in August has never been shown on terrestrial".

Sky's constant negative advertising pisses me off. They really hate Channel 4 and it's subsiduaries. They're running a big counter-campaign to FilmFour going free, saying "all our movies don't have adverts". They even ripped off FilmFour's adverts.

I haven't seen any adverts for Season 13, either and it was mentioned somewhere that they would advertise heavily for the new season prior to its airing. With only (supposedly) two weeks to go, shouldn't they start alerting their viewers to the fact there is life after Big Brother?

Sorry about my hastiness. My TV guide also says that Big Brother will end next Friday (and about time too).

By the way, it was Big Brother that I was referring to as "complete and utter rubbish," and not The Simpsons Season 13.

I would be willing, but I have no experience of website building past Geocities and a little bit of Dreamweaver.
Well today, I recieved a respose to this from Butters:

"Hello NHC,

This is that handsome Butters fella who left you all months ago. I sure
showed that Hitler that us jews can live without message boards. I know many
of you 'regulars' in the UK thread probably threw your memberships away
after I left. I knew the board would go up in a riot after I left. But for
those of you left I've heard there has been talk about how my site is
literally a brick wall. (get it? 'cause I went off my head and give it a
brickwall background)

If anyone wants to make another website for censorship, you may feel free to
use all the information I had compiled at http://www.thebritsons.co.uk for
the first 16 seasons of the show. It is just about a complete listing of all
the censorship that was made in the first 16 seasons and 2 of the first
episodes of Season 16. (also to my understanding there was a cut made in a
recent episode about Marge having something written about God ...? I'm not
sure I have not seen the show since I watched that one episode where Lisa
snorted some cocaine off Nelson's back and started chasing Jimbo around the
school yard whipping him with a bike chain because she wanted a sack full of
buttplugs). Of course if anyone decides to use my information, I do require
some sort of credit (merely by my screenname 'Butters' or my other lesser
known name 'Sex God'). With that said, I think that my domain name expires
in the middle of September, so anyone wishing to do so might want to save
that information before October. If anyone wants to make a site, I suggest
that if scottvivian or simplysimpsons, if they still post, give you pointers
on the site you take them. As they're probably two of the best HTML editors
on the NHC... alright, I'll admit they're the only decent ones who viewed
the UK thread when I was on.

For those who have any interest at all in my life, you can feel free to
check at my even crapper blog where I rant about how I have a cute
girlfriend and you probably don't at http://blog.thebritsons.co.uk . It's
updates are a little seldom now, but I do intend to have a new complaint
about modern society up by the end of the week.

And I have one last question I need addressed to the NHC... is that
Veryjammy still a gay? If he is, I need to find out if it's common practice
amongst homosexuals to cum all over a photo of Alex Turner of the Arctic
Monkeys? I was not only worried about the fact that he was doing it over an
Arctic Monkey, but also the fact that he was doing it while he was live on
air on the radio.

- Butters. The King of Sex

P.S. For those wondering the Last.fm signature on my profile may display
music you wouldn't have thought a cool dude like I would listen to. You now
have confirmation that it isn't an error on behalf of Last.fm. It is in fact
the music of my cute girlfriend who I was just wanking off while thinking
of. (speaking of wanking off, I still think about Homer_Thompson in 1/3
wanks.)"

I'll make a thread in The Simpsons Web News or whatever it's called. To see who's interested. As I said before, I'm willing, yet I'm not too good at making sites. BTW, who mentioned that I said that to Butters anyway?

I forgot to post the other day, I'm interested in doing this, for Simpson Crazy. I don't catch a lot of the new episodes on Sky/C4, but if cuts are posted here, I check this page regularly, so I can update the page when necessary.

08-11-2006, 12:09 PM

Hm. I once had plans to do a UK censorship page over at SNPP. I kinda-sorta gave up (well, it's been on hiatus for three years now) but it's not the worst idea.

Nice sig, by the way, Matt ;)

Damn stupid idiotic Sky!! This would have been the FIRST TIME EVER a UK Simpsons episode premiered on my birthday, and they've gone and rescheduled it. Damn damn damn.

And regarding the Britsons, maybe someone could start a whole UK Simpsons site? Could give histories of Sky One showings, downloads of old adverts, etc...

Rich Uncle Skeleton

08-11-2006, 05:37 PM

I have been intending to add UK airdates to my episode guide at SC. And I have random British-related content scattered around (like this (http://www.simpsoncrazy.com/information/articles/a-z.shtml)).

I'm reorganising the whole site at the moment, maybe I could add a specific British section.

Yeah, I think we can safley say it's almost certain that C4 will air S13 Simpsons, with RadioTimes confirming it was start on Aug 25.

I'd be glad to help if a new UK Simpsons site was made, also. The only problem is perhaps the fact that my HTML knowledge is fairly limited.

H_T: Were you like me and forgot (again) about The Wettest Stories? Havn't seen a review (not that I've checked) ?

I was quite annoyed when I missed it again. Not that I wanna' see a new episode, in terms of new laughs, but just too get it out the way, and for there to be an outside chance of me liking it.

Just one more Friday, in there being no S13 Simpsons!

The Wettest Stories? Havn't seen a review (not that I've checked)
I saw it the other day. I've now seen 4 episodes of this season! Wettest Stories was the best of those 4. I'd say around a B-.

08-13-2006, 03:12 AM

Channel 4 aren't showing OFF tuesday onwards, Big Brother's Little Brother is on instead at 6. Bah! (Ignore the thumbs-up, that was a mistake on my part- it should be a thumbs-down icon)

Adamm R)))

08-15-2006, 02:40 AM

Homer the Moe is confirmed for an 8:30pm spot on September 1st. 9pm onwards is TBC, so we may or may not get a double bill. C4 have no reason not to, when BB ends they've got nothing to fill gaps.

Talking of BB, I went cold turkey and haven't watched in a week :dance:

what an injustice in the world where us loyal simpsons fans are delayed by that freak, i get so pissed off going through the front room and my mum and housemate are still watching it, only to hear that retarded-playing-upto-cameras-scream from the kitchen :angry: (it takes a particular kind of idiot to enjoy her-mostly fellow stupid-spoiled-whores) although did get to see simpsons advertised in the break *drooool*

roll on S13 8-)

thats fair enough, i was more distracted by the fact that you guys have dislike towards bb-and nikki...it made me enjoy the forum that liiiil bit more :D i guess i'm more fucked about how the preference in a lot of people (ie ex-housemates of mine) would prefer to see twats like nikki on television, and then bury their heads in "heat" magazine when simpsons comes on....it just doesn't seem fair

Veryjammy

08-15-2006, 05:05 AM

Has everyone seen the promos then? There was one during Big Brother last night. They picked a really shit, unfunny joke from The Frying Game. The bit where Homer delivers the meals on wheels to Crazy Jewish Man and Jewish guy asks where the cobbler is and says Homer smells like cobbler. Then Homer says lets not start getting into who smells like what. That's barely even a punchline, I don't know why they picked that joke out of everything in Season 13.

There was another really annoying one where they splice little bits of Season 13 episodes together to say The Simpsons On Channel 4 or something. Their adverts really suck.

matt228

08-15-2006, 06:02 AM

So far the promos have escaped me.

I watched the first four weeks of Big Brother, then I went cold turkey and stopped watching it. In the past two weeks, I've seen the live shows on the night Grace, Lea, Mikey and Nikki went back in, the episode Nikki actually went all the way back in, and assorted clips (Glyn on the roof, Grace's 21st etc). I'll probably watch the final on Friday, as my sister watches it and we're home alone this weekend - I'd rather watch it than be alone doing nothing...Nikki really annoys me.

"I'M SOOOOOOOOO COLD!!!!!!!! Whoever invented air-con, I want you to know I hate you. I HATE YOU!" ;-/

Rich Uncle Skeleton

08-15-2006, 06:15 AM

I think we can all agree that BB sucks overall, but it is funny in small doses. I will watch the final, just to see Pete win (because he will, obviously, he's the only normal one in the house), and to see if Aishlene bitch-slaps Grace (or vice-versa).

Anyway onto a much better topic... I emailed Butters about the UK censorship site, asking if he was happy to let me take over and if he could send me all the pages to save me downloading them. He hasn't replied yet so I spent a while saving all the pages last night before the site disappears.

Is everyone happy for me to take over the list? I probably won't be able to put it up before September due to work at the mo (and a holiday next week), but if anyone has any additions (eg Season 17) or corrections to the list on http://www.thebritsons.co.uk then post them here, and I'll add them when the time comes.

08-16-2006, 04:06 AM

There was another really annoying one where they splice little bits of Season 13 episodes together to say The Simpsons On Channel 4 or something. Their adverts really suck.

They did that with S11+S12 episodes to advertise the launch night in '04 too. "Well haven't you heard, the Simpsons are coming to Channel 4, thanks for the tip-off" has to be worse than any of the Beeb's adverts for OFF.

Of course, I don't think BBC actually did any adverts for OFF, so there you go.

I think there will be a doublebill on Sep. 1...I don't think they have anything else to air really.

Adamm R)))

08-16-2006, 04:26 AM

I agree. It wouldn't suprise me if E4 even show season 13 in one day in an attempt to fill the huge void that BB's end will leave in their schedule.

08-16-2006, 07:16 AM

C4 are also going to be showing "The War at Homer" which is supposed to some awful american sitcom. And also c4 (or at least e4) usually give some show to a Big Brother contestant, and this vile piece of scum is supposed to getting her own show.

I doubt we'll see too much of Nikki. Just look at Chantelle, she was in the public eye for a few months, but nothing more.

C4 are also going to be showing "The War at Homer" which is supposed to some awful american sitcom.

The War at Homer? :LOL: I suppose you're just used to typing it. I bet you've just invented C4's new ad campaign for Friday nights.

It's about damn time C4 showed some new Simpsons. When was the last time they did? Like seriously it seems like 2 years or something. They paid all that money for the rights for The Simpsons then they didn't show them, weird...

Rich Uncle Skeleton

08-16-2006, 11:40 AM

I saw a few minutes of "The War At Home" (I'm quite used to typing Homer too, btw), when it was on E4, it sucked. I know you can't really judge a whole show on a few minutes, but the whole style of it (plus the canned laughter) really put me off.

Adamm R)))

08-17-2006, 02:53 AM

I just saw another trailer, another crappy one. Not sure on the episode, but Homer was about to dive into some water, but he lands on the lower deck. He does it again and lands on a whale.

08-17-2006, 02:56 AM

Please, let's not discuss Big Brother. I've become so disillusioned with that show this year, its unbelievable. Lets just let Pete win and forget about it.

Good news about Season 13 finally coming to Channel 4 - at last. We've waited long enough and I know this season isn't exactly one of the best but it's still beats most of C4's output.

Oh, and a good luck to anyone in the UK receiving their A-level results today!

H Thompson

08-17-2006, 03:00 AM

Well I missed one of my exams, so.... I'm not really concerned untill I do the re-sit, but hopefully the arranging of it and the re-sit itself goes well.
Also it's a bit pointless wishing luck on the day of the results, when they've already been decided.

I have seen a promo now (thanks to being forced to watch BB). Not bad, but I think they shouldn't be allowed to advertise the episodes as "new" - they should be "new to terrestrial" or "terrestrial premiere" or something like that.

Has anyone seen the Sky Movies advert that slates the Film4 one? Really awful advertising tactic.

H Thompson

08-17-2006, 07:37 AM

ugh yes it's pathetic, you have to pay extra for sky movies and their films generally aren't as good, so I'm willing to sacrifice, having a few adverts for it.

Do Channel Surfer or Mike Scully, actually moderate this thread?

I don't have Sky Movies, and all I have seen of the advert is the end, and my sister has told me about it. It is very pathetic. I think Sky Movies is a fair service for those who love their movies, since there are 10 screens with a vast choice, but the films they show are repeated to hell. At least Film4 is free and isn't so predictable.

Also the adverts on Film4 are only once every half-hour, which is good anyway as you get a break from it (to get a cuppa or something) without having to pause Sky+.

Channel Surfer

08-17-2006, 11:40 AM

You're treated like the Aussie Lounge for all intents and purposes, except more focused on the show. So unless something exceptionally stupid shows up, I don't think there's much of a need for moderation here.

Oh dear god. Channel 4 showed the clip of Homer's swimming trunks going up his butt as an advert. They are such fucking morons.

08-18-2006, 01:50 AM

Although the 9pm slot isn't confirmed yet, C4 have confirmed that A Hunka Hunka Burns In Love will be airing the week after Homer the Moe, so no double bills for now.

matt228

08-18-2006, 02:59 AM

I'm glad they aren't showing double-bills all the way through the season, because it will last longer for the poor terrestrialites who haven't seen them yet. They should finish with a few weeks of double-bills again though.

That's the sort of thing that appeals to very casual viewers (of which there are millions), so they'll show it.

I haven't been watching C4 at all over the past few weeks because of BB, so I haven't seen any adverts for it. I only just realised how close S13 is to C4 today! 1 more week!

EDIT:
Sky have delayed their new episodes, too, as Regarding Margie and Marge and Homer Turn A Couple Play are now both set to air in October. This means there'll be no Season 18 for us until November, but S13 on C4 and the release of the S8 DVD should keep us occupied until then. :)

9pm - The Law Of The Playground
9:30pm - The Best Of The Worst (new pannel show about stuff that sucks, in week 1: this schedule)

I can't believe that Law Of The Playground show has a 9pm slot. It's the shittiest show ever. Just a bunch of people talking about generic school experiences like school dinners and bullies.
I like it because it's all true! Most of people on it are great comedians. Charlotte Church could make or break her career with her show - somehow I think she won't be the best. Lots of "girlie girls" will watch it, so it'll get good ratings, however.

Adamm R)))

08-18-2006, 02:08 PM

I like it because it's all true! Most of people on it are great comedians.
Still, they're not that funny because all of the stuff on there is completely generic and cliche like Veryjammy said. C4's Friday nights are really dying. I wish they'd put something good on, for example, Nikki, Chantelle and Jade Goody being hung for crimes against humanity. I may check out that "Best of the Worst" thing. For the sake of it. Anyway, at least we've got yet another series of 8 Out of 10 Cats in the autumn to look forward to. Isn't that the third series this year? Anyway, pretty much all TV is pretty poor at the moment, I don't think I'd even turn on if it weren't for new Scrubs.

8 Out of 10 Cats was good last night, I thought. Apart from Jayne and Eugene's presence (Jayne is horrid and Eugene is pointless), it was good fun. What's wrong with "Law of the Playground"? People say the things they say are "generic" and "cliched", but that's perhaps because it's all true, and even if they say that it's still funny.

I agree that the celebrities were introduced in a ridiculous manner but I don't think the episode was meant to be taken too seriously - it was primarily to show the family in a new environment and get lots of publicity by getting Tony Blair on the show.
