UK: General Simpsons Chat

[Drunk Barney]

They will probably start S13 in November. Staying 4 yrs behind.

[Nameless]

They won't what? They won't stay 4 seasons behind? I agree!
Won't advertise S11 as "new", because C4 are not stupid.

And I hope they won't stay four years behind.

And I presume they'll have rights to different seasons when (if) S13 airs in November?

[Butters]

What's up with C4 cutting to ad breaks in Hungry Hungry Homer after Homer's "And I gave the guy directions, even though I didn't know the way"? It was just incredibly random, especially considering the scene wasn't finished...

[Nameless]

What's up with C4 cutting to ad breaks in Hungry Hungry Homer after Homer's "And I gave the guy directions, even though I didn't know the way"? It was just incredibly random, especially considering the scene wasn't finished...
It was the end of act one.

[Butters]

Just checked the SNPP capsule... am I the only one who finds it weird that there's like a five second scene...

[simplysimpsons]

Yeah...weird! Should have ended after the Moe's Bar scene.

Who thinks C4 will shorten the Sideshow Bob rakes sequence in Cape Feare? I think they will - they've already tried to cut bits out of episodes, presumably for more ads.

[George Cauldron]

I guess the act break there is initially Fox's fault. I actually prefer the place where Sky decided to put the adverts - after Homer is injected in Mr Duff's office. That seems a more climactic moment to end an act, even if the act would have run on for too long.

[Nameless]

How many rakes are there again?

[Butters]

Nine. Eight outside, and that one we hear from inside the Simpsons boat.

[Surly Duff]

What happened to Barry White in Springfield Squares?

C4 = worse than Sky One :(

[simplysimpson]

(^ As mentioned above)
Just thought I'd note that "Krusty Gets Cancelled" has just aired/airing as I type in the UK and the entire tidal wave wiping out the celebrity squares on the beach scene was cut - due to obvious reasons I suppose.

[matt228]

Seems like Channel 4 are getting more cuts that we thought would happen in the 6pm airings...

It just makes me wonder what C4 will do when they get season 13; what time will they repeat Weekend at Burnsie's on the Sunday? 6pm seems early for the episode for any channel to handle, even the almost cut-free Channel 4...Not that there is anything really in the episode. Drugs are mentioned on TV before 9pm lots, and in the episode, there isn't much too explicit...Perhaps a 9pm repeat sounds justified?

[Nameless]

Perhaps a 9pm repeat sounds justified?
Just what I was thinking.

[Butters]

At the start of the thread I said I admired C4's lack of scissors... now I say they're clinically mad. Today's cut was justified, but the others... :(

[Nameless]

On the subject of cuts, do you know when Simpsorama comes back on?

[Butters]

No... host is in no hurry to accept my extra £1.50 a month for an extra gig of bandwidth...

[Drunk Barney]

Rem Series 5 starts tomorrow!

I notice you given MRX 3/5 now Butters. A good 2nd watch ey:p

[matt228]

Anyone else think that rather than cutting bits out of episodes, they should have a warning before the show of anything offensive; the C4 logo/Sky One logo on the screen, and the voice-over telling you...like they did with "Anatomy for Beginners" for those who saw that - they had a warning everytime they had adverts!

[Butters]

And does anyone ever pay attention to warnings?

[matt228]

And does anyone ever pay attention to warnings?
Yes. But not always.

[snrub]

Who says they have to repeat it at all? If it isn't suitable for a pre-watershed repeat then don't do one.

[matt228]

Who says they have to repeat it at all? If it isn't suitable for a pre-watershed repeat then don't do one.
I guess they might do that, but repeating it after 9pm is better than not repeating it at all.

[Nameless]

Just wondering, but do C4 still have those ads proclaiming "every weekday and twice on fridays"? If so, that's false advertising, because it's actually THRICE on Fridays!

[The lesson is never try]

i dont thimk thats been on for a while

[Nameless]

C4 left the rake scene in Cape Feare uncut. :)

[George Cauldron]

Has Fat Man and Little Boy premiered in the UK yet? I was unaware that it had, it's apparently being "repeated" on Friday 4th March, but I don't remember it ever initially airing!

[Butters]

It premiered on January 9th at 6:30pm.

And, Rosebud airs tomorrow, wonder if they'll cut "bastard"...

[Rich Uncle Skeleton]

Yes it has, though I missed it. Most of the new episodes have aired in the UK on the day that the next one airs in the US, with only one exception I think (whichever was the last one before the big gap in US airings).

[Butters]

The gap was inbetween She Used To Be My Girl and Fat Man and Little Boy. Altough, there's two other gaps formed as well (Fat Man and Little Boy to Midnight RX and Midnight RX to Mommie Beerest). Just to clear things up here's all the airdates of the Season 16 episodes that have aired so far.
21/11/04 - All's Fair In Oven War
28/11/04 - Sleeping with the Enemy
5/12/04 - Treehouse of Horror XV
12/12/04 - She Used To Be My Girl
9/1/05 - Fat Man and Little Boy
30/1/05 - Midnight RX

Homer Goes to College on C4 tonight...look out for the BBC2 cut;

Bart: The only other college within 50 miles is Springfield A&M so they're our best target.
Homer: Those bastards.
Bart: Gentlemen, meet sir Oinks A Lot, the beloved mascot of A&M.
[NOTE: I assume they cut "Gentlemen" to make it look less visible, despite the fact it looks worse as Bart can still be heard saying "n".]

Am I the only one to notice that the front page of Simpsorama is down, but nothing else.

[Butters]

Am I the only one to notice that the front page of Simpsorama is down, but nothing else.

Yes. :-X

And isn't it Rosebud tonight? Or have I got Homer Goes To College and Rosebud's order mixed up?

[Miguel Sanchez]

You've got 'em mixed up

[Nameless]

You got them mixed up. ;)

[Butters]

BRITISH NERDS REJOICE : http://www.simpsorama.com/

[D'oheth!]

Cape Feare has a slo-mo cut. This is Matt (who reported the Treehouse Of Horror II). Anyway, the scene where Bob is revealed in prison (before C4 cut to ads), is slowed down. It does a pan from the Simpsons' house to the prison. The shot at the prison has slo-mo (seen by the rain and lightening seeming a bit slow), and appears to have been cut early to make the shot run the same amount of time as before. I think we lose the sight of Bob through the bars of his window. It simply cuts to Bob writing before fainting.

[Nameless]

THOHIII. ;)

And woo for Simpsorama.

[D'oheth!]

Oh yeah.

[Moon]

I've given up on waiting for episodes to start showing in the UK, so I've started downloading them...

[Simpsons Forever!]

If you don't have Sky you will have to wait 4 years, by which time the episodes won't be new anymore. The DVDs will eventually be out sooner!

[Butters]

They cut "bastards" just the way BBC 2 did...

[D'oheth!]

Not exactly the same, as they left "Gentlemen" in.

[Butters]

They never... I've got the entire thing saved to my computer.

[Nameless]

Not exactly the same, as they left "Gentlemen" in.
Did it look noticable?

[D'oheth!]

No - I almost missed it because it was that subtle. They cut Homer's shot and went to the next bit of dialouge. Pretty effective.

[matt228]

Noticed it was cut but not while I was watching the episode - if I'd never seen it before, I wouldn't have known anything was cut (however if it weren't for Simpsorama I wouldn't know ANYTHING was cut here and not in the States).

[Simpsons Forever!]

Which episode just aired? I haven't been watching C4 recently.

[D'oheth!]

Homer Goes To College.

[Butters]

Homer Goes To College.

So, was there something wrong with my feed? Because mine didn't have Bart say "Gentlemen".

[D'oheth!]

Dunno, but I think I would have noticed if it was cut like that.

[simplysimpsons]

I didn't see it either, I'm pretty sure that moment was cut like on BBC2.

[matt228]

I'm sure "Gentlemen" was cut like on BBC2 (but you couldn't hear the 'n')

[matt228]

Simpsons is on 5 times tonight (as usual for a Friday by now)...
CH4 - 18:00 - Rosebud (1F01) - S5
SKY - 19:00 - The Way We Weren't (FABF13) - S15
SKY - 19:30 - Fraudcast News (FABF17) - S15
CH4 - 21:00 - Trilogy of Error (CABF14) - *NEW* S12
CH4 - 21:30 - I'm Goin' to Praiseland (CABF15) - *NEW* S12
On the C4 of course I mean new to terrestrial.

[Nameless]

Only for those who have Sky, though.

[George Cauldron]

(^ As mentioned above)
Just thought I'd note that "Krusty Gets Cancelled" has just aired/airing as I type in the UK and the entire tidal wave wiping out the celebrity squares on the beach scene was cut - due to obvious reasons I suppose.

I would assume therefore that the tidal wave striking Kuala Lumpur/France in Bart Gets Famous later this month will also end up on the cutting room floor too. Yeah, I know, talk about stating the bleedin' obvious.

[Nameless]

[reading] "Tragic news tonight: 120 dead in a tidal wave in Kuala Lala
-- pure. Kuala Lum -- per..."
[crosses it out] "France!"

Whereas Krusty Gets Kancelled actually showed a tidal wave, this is just one line (presuming that's what you were referring to), so it might slip by.

[Simpsons Forever!]

Yes! Trilogy Of Error is on C4 tonight! It's probably the best episode of S12 and also one of my favourites. I hope C4 keep it intact.

[Butters]

I can't see C4 cutting Trilogy of Error. So don't worry.

Rosebud is one tonight, let's see how they cut "Go to hell, you old bastard."

Boy, too much talking about cuts in this thread. :(

[Rich Uncle Skeleton]

Homer Goes to College on C4 tonight...look out for the BBC2 cut;

Bart: The only other college within 50 miles is Springfield A&M so they're our best target.
Homer: Those bastards.
Bart: Gentlemen, meet sir Oinks A Lot, the beloved mascot of A&M.
[NOTE: I assume they cut "Gentlemen" to make it look less visible, despite the fact it looks worse as Bart can still be heard saying "n".]

There is no "Gentlemen" line after Homer's "the bastards" - which btw I had never known was a cut - the word is used when Bart says "I propose we kidnap Sir Oinksalot".

[matt228]

No matter how scissor-happy C4 get, they'll never cut lines out after 9pm...Afterall, if people are watching at 9pm then they should be aware it's after the watershed and swearing, violence, nudity and sexual content may be in.

[Butters]

There is no "Gentlemen" line after Homer's "the bastards" - which btw I had never known was a cut - the word is used when Bart says "I propose we kidnap Sir Oinksalot".
Bum bum bum. Blame subtitling for this. You certainly can't blame a man who suffers from slight hearing problems. Although, in the BBC 2 version, you can most certainly hear part of another line before Bart speaks (perhaps it's "th" of "those"? Or maybe it's just me...)

[The lesson is never try]

channel 4 after 9pm never cut a anything, and i mean anything

[matt228]

channel 4 after 9pm never cut a anything, and i mean anything
Yeah I just said that 2 posts before you...

[JonHillier]

Pfft.. the bastard line in the ramones-happy-birthday was cut.

[Butters]

They cut "you old bastard". Unlike SKY and BBC 2 they left "Go to hell" in. And didn't that cut look really noticable?

[JonHillier]

Beat ya ;) heh

But yeah, it was painfully noticable (especially to such a well known tune).

[Nameless]

Bah, you beat me :P

It seemed so obvious that something was missing after "Go to hell..."

And the casual viewer will be probably be scratching their head at the "1993" caption...

[D'oheth!]

They should of kept Burns shocked face at the line. It would have at least looked better.

[Head Bee-Guy]

Trilogy of Error tonight! It's nice to look forward to a season 12 episode on a Friday.

[Mario]

And I'm Goin' to Praiseland airs tonight!

[Nameless]

Immediately following Trilogy of Error, which will air at 21:00, thus meaning that I'm Goin' To Praiseland will air at 21:30.

At the tone, the time will be seven minutes to nine.

What are C4 going to do when S5 finishes? Start with S2 again?

[matt228]

What are C4 going to do when S5 finishes? Start with S2 again?
Probably. Somehow I think they won't go to S11 when it's airing Friday nights at 9pm in double-bills starting 25th February...

[simplysimpsons]

They have the rights to S6, I think...but yeah, after s6 has finished I'm pretty sure they'll go back to s2 again.

[Nameless]

Oh, and incidentally, I obtained a time machine similar to that portrayed in the H. G. Wells book named "The Time Machine", and used it to travel forth to about mid-April and discovered that C4 were in fact bluffing and own S6 rights.
It feels weird quoting myself.

[Simon Gibbons]

They have the rights to S6, I think...but yeah, after s6 has finished I'm pretty sure they'll go back to s2 again.

I think after season 6 they will show the season 12 episodes again.

[Drunk Barney]

According to there epsiode guide they havn't. So we will wait and see.

[matt228]

They don't have S6 otherwise it would be on the C4 site's episode guide...

Sky One have S6 it's just freaky how they haven't aired any recently (concentrating on S9, eh?).

EDIT: just checked Wezzo's page (last week's update; today's not on yet) and no S6 episodes are on until at least mid-March. However, they're airing a lot of S9 AGAIN!!!!!! At the end of February, this will probably be the 4th or 5th time they've aired lots of S9. But still no The City of New York Vs Homer Simpson or The Cartridge Family. Not too bothered about the latter, since I have it on VHS and DVD, but I am still yet to see the former.

[Drunk Barney]

I think there is some confusion between sky and C4. They did start off with it on there ep guide though didn't they!

[matt228]

I think there is some confusion between sky and C4. They did start off with it on there ep guide though didn't they!
They did but that was before they put any episodes into the guide they just had a page with buttons saying Series "2", "3", "4", "5", "11", "12". The rest was either links to character bios etc or just nothing.

It aggrovates me how they call them "series" when it's an American show.
If it's American, they have "seasons" if it's British, they have "series" it's really simple...

[Drunk Barney]

Er not really.

[Nameless]

As I recall, you posted in this thread with an ad, Homer228, with a quote that certainly came from THOHV.

We'll know when in4mer update again next week.

However, the following image makes me feel certain that C4 have S6;

Why hasn't this thread been made a sticky, it’s been around long enough

[Nameless]

Why hasn't this thread been made a sticky, it’s been around long enough
This board has enough stickies as it is...

THE FOLLOWING ITEM HAS NO RELEVANCE TO THE SIMPSONS WHATSOEVER

I will be away on half-term holiday with my mother and sister from 10:40 today 'till about 20:00 Tuesday and didn't feel like editing my user title or sig to reflect this. :P

[D'oheth!]

Butters, you missed the cut to Cape Feare (on page 27) I noticed last week on your last update. I think slowdown will be striking again on Monday, so those who can spot it keep a good lookout.

[Rich Uncle Skeleton]

RE: Channel Four and Season 6:

I am 99% sure C4 has the rights to Season 6. Every time the BBC had (or were about to get) the rights for a Season, Sky One stopped showing most of the episodes, except for maybe one or two now and again.
I don't know why this is (especially why they still showed the one or two episodes), but it looks like it's happening again with Sky and C4.

So in conclusion: Channel Four either have the rights to Season 6, or will very soon be obtaining those rights. Let this be the end of the discussion until we have further word. :)

[simplysimpson]

I noticed They slowed down the opening sequence in Treehouse of horror IV too.

[D'oheth!]

Another slowdown cut (this time on Treehouse Of Horror 4). The gravestones have been slowed down, and the flash transition between gravestone shots. The "TV Violence" stone had bullets shot into it, but the sound effect didn't start until later in the shot. While we're on cuts, C4 covered up Homer's "bastard" with a scream, which is laughably appalling.

EDIT: The intro to "Bart Simpson's Dracula" is cut. The flash is removed, and the pan out from the picture is cut in half and slowed down.

[Butters]

Thanks for the info, guys. Forgot about the episode tonight... (The "bastard" alteration sounds laughable.)

[D'oheth!]

At least it was a Homer scream. Shame I weren't taping tonight, as I was ROFL.

[Miguel Sanchez]

Do Sky One ever have the ad break at that point (halfway through the second segment) in THOH eps? I seem to only remember them having ad breaks at the end of the second segment.

[Butters]

Yeah, they cut to ads in the middle of Time and Punishment. That's the only one they do it to though.

[simplysimpsons]

The Homer scream was too long for the line, so it sounded like this:

Homer: (reading note) "Dear Homer, IOU one emergency donut. Signed, Homer. AaarrghHe's always one step ahead!"

Still pretty clever dubbing from C4, even if it was very noticeable!

[George Cauldron]

More jarring was the fact that Channel 4 inexplicably cut to the adverts right in the middle of the second segment. Couldn't they at least wait until it had ended, or done it before that segment started?

Well, if you can't beat 'em, join 'em.

*Posts his CV to Channel 4.*

[matt228]

This is my first week back after half-term...we were off school the week commencing Saturday 5th February and we came back to school on Monday 14th February...Schools in Newcastle, Darlington and London (and most other places it seems; I just know of those places for sure) have this week off (week commencing Saturday 12th February)

I wonder why it's different? It used to be the same for all schools in England & Wales, with Scotland usually a week after.

[Butters]

What does your school's holiday plan have to do with Channel 4 and Sky One? Unless... your school is the bastard child of Channel 4 and Channel 5.

Wow. "piss" was uncut in the rerun of Treehouse of Horror XV... and even more confusing, All's Fair In Oven War still remained very badly edited.

[George Cauldron]

Well, it's OK to urinate, but it's not OK for you or your friends to mercilessly shoot someone.

[H Thompson]

No offence homer228, but just because we're all in the U.K doesn't mean we care about when your half term is.

Well butters, THOH did air half an hour later, I guess they think very young children will be in bed by then so they can show it.
and What was cut out of Oven War?

[Butters]

and What was cut out of Oven War?
Marge cutting out the playdudes ("I'm not wearing any clothes, so I'll just splay myself over a pool table"), Bart's "orgies" comment and Caan's shooting.

[Nameless]

Just watching my tape of THOHIV off C4...I too noticed "bastard" being replaced with Homer's scream.

Am I the only one who finds it weird that they didn't cut to ads at the end of "Devil & Homer Simpson"?

EDIT: I notice George Cauldron has mentioned this.

Anyway, on the subject of cuts, when C4 air Behind the Laughter, they'll almost certainly cut to ads on one of the 'when we come back' parts, but would they cut the other?

Or, for that matter, when they air Guess Who's Coming To Criticize Dinner, they might cut to ads on Homer's "we'll be right back" line, but that would leave just seven or so minutes after the break, so it seems more likely they'll cut to ads after act one of the ep, but if so, would they cut Homer's line...?

</rambling>

[matt228]

The bastard child of Channel 4 and five?
It seems logical - at least half the people watch American comedies and porno.

[Nameless]

The bastard child of Channel 4 and five?
It seems logical - at least half the people watch American comedies and porno.
No it isn't. It's needlessly complicated. ;)

Anyway, definite cut from The Last Temptation of Homer tomorrow;

Man : (walking by) Thanks for poisoning the planet, bastards!
Mindy : Get bent.
Man 2 : (walking by) No more Cherynobles.
Homer : Go to hell.
(Homer throws a brick at him.)

Sky One cut the entire line, but BBC only mute "bastards"; it seems likely that C4 will do the same.

[matt228]

C4 and Sky One need to set some guidelines for pre-watershed cuts.

For instance, in C4's current "guidelines" it is:
1. The word "bastard" will be treated in either of the following ways:
a) replacing the word with a scream
b) muting the word
c) cutting the word
d) leaving it in in an episode where the word is used 8 times (Oh Brother, Where Art Thou?, for an example)

et cetera

[Nameless]

I imagine they left the lines in "Oh Brother Where Art Thou" because it was being used in a "jokey" manner.

They haven't actually muted "bastard" yet...cut, but not muted...

[George Cauldron]

They left the "bastard" in Oh Brother Where Art Thou because even though Bart was intentionally swearing, we all know that it was the word "bastard" in the true context of the word.

[matt228]

Another day, another 2 episodes of S1 that Sky One decided to bore us with...Come on Sky One, put some great episodes on!

Another day, another 2 episodes of S1 that Sky One decided to bore us with...Come on Sky One, put some great episodes on!
If we're going on the subject of S1, do Sky's copies of S1 have the original openings?

[matt228]

If we're going on the subject of S1, do Sky's copies of S1 have the original openings?
No idea. Season 1 episode on Sky One results in channel switching for me usually.

[Nameless]

There's another S1 episode (Homer's Night Out) on Sky tomorrow, you could check then...

[Butters]

Is it just me, or at the end of The Telltale Head is Homer's "Most lynch mobs aren't this nice" line absent? (I didn't see it last night, but I remember noticing this a while ago, just couldn't be bothered to say it.)

I really hope C4 don't make a mess of the cut in Last Temptation of Homer. BBC 2's looked weird, and Sky's looked a mess. If they must cut it, I'd rather they cut the entire exchange...

[Nameless]

Confirmation that following S5 on Channel 4 is S2, again...in that case, when will they get to S6?

There is another double-bill at 9pm on the 4th of March on C4; Guess Who's Coming To Criticize Dinner and THOHX.

There is NOT a double-bill on the 11th of March; Instead, there is only E-I-E-I-D'oh, at 21:30 instead of 21:00.

[D'oheth!]

"Bastard!" is muted. But his mouth is still moving...

[Nameless]

They muted "bastards", and I think they cut "get bent" as well. think.

[D'oheth!]

No, they kept that, I think.

[Butters]

Crap, I missed it! Anyone want to confirm whether "get bent" was cut, or if Nameless has being going into Grandma's medicine cabinet again...

EDIT: Thank you, D'oheth. ;)

[Nameless]

Never mind - thanks anyway. As soon as you know, please post (please don't say Will and Grace, please don't say Will and Grace)

[simplysimpsons]

I don't think it was as I remember 'bastard' being muted as there wasn't much of a gap between "Thanks for posisoning the planet!" and "Get bent!"

[matt228]

Is it just me, or at the end of The Telltale Head is Homer's "Most lynch mobs aren't this nice" line absent? (I didn't see it last night, but I remember noticing this a while ago, just couldn't be bothered to say it.)
I don't even remember the line, and I didn't watch it so can't help you. ;)

Channel 4 don't have S6! How many times must you be told?

Thanks...I hope it's "Will & Grace"!

[Blythy]

huh? some season 13 episodes... (http://www.channel4.com/entertainment/tv/microsites/S/simpsons/episodeguide/series.jsp?series=12)

[Nameless]

Channel 4 don't have S6! How many times must you be told?Sky One have not aired any S6 episodes since around October, and since Channel 4 are airing all their episodes in order, I'm assuming that Channel 4 are about to get the rights to S6, and are repeating S2 until they get them. Let this discussion end until we have further word

Oh, and in response to Blythy, it seems Channel 4 have their episode guide in production code order, thus including holdovers which are part of S13.

Another thing; Channel 4 have removed the "new episode" box on their Simpsons minisite and moved the 9pm Friday S11 episodes to the "daily" box, so we know they're not advertising S11 as "new"

[Nameless]

Wezzo has now updated the UK listings page for SNPP and now lists the rights for each channel, but I still say that C4 will soon be getting S6

[Simpsons Forever!]

It's very annoying how the listings for Sky One only go up to 11th March. Shouldn't we have the whole of March and April by now?

[matt228]

It's very annoying how the listings for Sky One only go up to 11th March. Shouldn't we have the whole of March and April by now?
We should but www.skyprogrammeinformation.co.uk are being lazy arses and delaying us a month and a half...

Ah yes, and Wezzo has put the rights listings in each channel's place to confirm the truth. If we were in any doubt, surely it is quashed now? And if not, email C4!

[Nameless]

Ah yes, and Wezzo has put the rights listings in each channel's place to confirm the truth. If we were in any doubt, surely it is quashed now? And if not, email C4!
These rights could change at any minute.

Let us assume, for now, that Season 6 is in limbo.

[matt228]

You're right, they COULD change at any time.

Season 13 will probably head it's way towards Channel 4 within the upcoming 6 months...

[Nameless]

I can't see Sky allowing C4 to speed up the process of terrestial-digital new seasons, so C4 will probably get S13 rights around October/November.

Plus, as time goes on, C4 and Sky will certainly swap around rights to earlier seasons.

Let us assume, for now, that Season 6 is in limbo.

This is probably right. I remember Seasons 4 and 5 weren't shown on either the BBC or Sky for almost 2 years a few years back

[Nameless]

From the SNPP page, on Sky One;

In addition, there are preliminary plans for a new episode on the 3rd of April. For more on the new episodes, see here (http://www.snpp.com/upcoming/uk.html#newsky) below!

I imagine this is either Pranksta Rap (which I was previously betting to be the second new March episode) or There's Something About Marrying (which I was also betting to be the first April episode)

[matt228]

Got sent home from school at 10:20am due to heavy snow. Since yesterday, it's been snowing most of the time of varying amounts, but now 20 minutes without snow is a lot.

Anyway, who else has seen the new design on Simpsorama (www.simpsorama.com) (aka Censored Simpsons)? It's very nice, and I only noticed about 10 mins ago because I wasn't on it last night (plus I don't think it uploaded until this morning). I just hope the 5 'dead' links start working soon and the pages when you type wrong change to the new design ("YOU ARE TRESSPASSING!" etc; is still in old style).

Keep it up, Liam!

[Nameless]

Very nice.

You're getting heavy snow!? We've gotten a few flakes in the past...hours...

[D'oheth!]

I noticed that the Season 16 cuts page is still in old style. Still, nice new design. In my browser, the actual page content seems to be in light blue...

[Butters]

the actual page content seems to be in light blue...
That's the way it's supposed to be. (you'll notice the same colour is used in the header and nav). But, yeah, it looks horrible...

[Rich Uncle Skeleton]

Channel 4 don't have S6! How many times must you be told?


Do you have proof of this? To quote myself:

RE: Channel Four and Season 6:

I am 99% sure C4 has the rights to Season 6. Every time the BBC had (or were about to get) the rights for a Season, Sky One stopped showing most of the episodes, except for maybe one or two now and again.
I don't know why this is (especially why they still showed the one or two episodes), but it looks like it's happening again with Sky and C4.

So in conclusion: Channel Four either have the rights to Season 6, or will very soon be obtaining those rights. Let this be the end of the discussion until we have further word. :)

Also, decent new design on simpsorama, though you should add padding to the content area - it looks bad with the text right against the side. And I still think you should organise the pages better...

[George Cauldron]

From the SNPP page, on Sky One;

[/font]

I imagine this is either Pranksta Rap (which I was previously betting to be the second new March episode) or There's Something About Marrying (which I was also betting to be the first April episode)

Looks like There's Something About Marrying will be later than March and indeed April:

http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/entertainment/tv_and_radio/4285287.stm

which states that "In There's Something About Marrying, which has aired in the US, Homer Simpson becomes an internet minister for dozens of same sex marriages. This prompts sister-in-law Patty to explain how she fell for professional golfer Veronica. The episode, which ran with a parental advisory, will air in the UK in May."

[matt228]

Do you have proof of this?

Email from C4:
Thank you for your concern over "The Simpsons".
We currently own the rights to seasons 2, 3, 4, 5, 11 and 12.

That is basically the gist of what Wezzo got from C4.

But I'll email them tonight or tomorrow.

[Simpsons Forever!]

Remember, though, that they said Smart and Smarter would air on 23rd May 2004. It aired on 24th October!

[George Cauldron]

True, we have to take that May date with a pinch of salt. So let's expect it airing even later! :)

[Nameless]

Cuts from BBC and Sky respectively on Homer the Vigilante (on C4 today);

(everybody is firing their guns and apologizing after each shot)
(gun shot)
(Cut to Bart, holding a gun)
Bart: Sorry.

Grampa: I'll join. I'm filled with piss and vinegar...before, I was just filled with vinegar.

Hopefully C4 will go even further and leave it uncut, but if they were to cut it, it would make more sense to cut Bart's scene...

[Butters]

C4 won't cut "piss" they leave it in Friends all the time. Can see them cutting the gun scene though... :(

[Nameless]

They left Bart's scene in. ;)

[D'oheth!]

Homer The Vigilante aired uncut on C4.

[Butters]

Excellent. So now we know that "piss" is safe by C4's standards. And children with guns is okay.

[Nameless]

On the subject of cuts and C4, Butters, your C4 cuts page is incorrect; despite my initial thinking so (and being mistaken), the "slapstick" gravestone was not removed in the TOHIII opening ;)

[matt228]

Nice to see that even though they're scissor-happy, they'll let us say piss and have our children shooting things ;)

[H Thompson]

Excellent. So now we know that "piss" is safe by C4's standards. And children with guns is okay.

Yeah but there's no reason why they'll be consistent on this.

[Rich Uncle Skeleton]

Did C4 leave the Richard Nixon thing in THOH IV? It was never on BBC.

Also now that it's been mentioned, I don't remember the 'piss' line in tonights episode. And don't you think they cut to a break at the wrong time - best time would have been after Homer's "We'll be right back!" (followed by Kent's line).

[Nameless]

Both were definitely in.

I agree with you on the ad break...makes me wonder what they'll do with "...Criticize Dinner" on March 4, considering Homer's "we'll be right back" line is directed at the viewers.

[Butters]

And THOH VI, whenever they get it... Homer says "We'll be right back" to us in that as well.

[Nameless]

I imagine that would be around the same time they get S13, or if not, some time in the future, as it would get really boring (even for the casual viewer who normally doesn't tape eps) if they just repeated the same seasons.

[Rowdy Roddy Peeper]

Yeah it's a good thing that there is so many Simpsons episodes to go around.

[EspanolBot]

Anyone know when C4 will start showing new episodes (they're going back to the seadon before last next friday)?

[Nameless]

Anyone know when C4 will start showing new episodes (they're going back to the seadon before last next friday)?
Four year old new episodes. ;)

Probably in November, so they stay 4 years behind.

[Simpsons Forever!]

There must be a point when they will need to show more than one season a year, though, because otherwise the DVDs will catch up/overtake them. Episodes will be on DVDs before they are premiered on terrestrial!

[Nameless]

Simpsons Forever, I don't actually think that would be a problem for a few years...

[D'oheth!]

Butters, weird glitch on your webpage. On your BBC 2 cuts page, my cut for "Bart Vs. Australia" is listed for "Itchy & Scratchy Land".

BTW, "Bart Gets Famous" is on tonight.

[Nameless]

Some cuts for "Itchy & Scratchy: The Movie" are listed under "Duffless" on Simpsorama's BBC2...Butters has also added some cuts for "When Flanders Failed", "Moaning Lisa", "Oh Brother Where Art Thou", "Mr Plow" and "Kamp Krusty"

[D'oheth!]

I think they cut this line from Kent, but I'll check in a minute...

[reading] "Tragic news tonight: 120 dead in a tidal wave in Kuala Lala
-- pure. Kuala Lum -- per..."
[crosses it out] "France!"

[Nameless]

It was cut, probably for the same reasons as "Kancelled"

[D'oheth!]

Thought so, as I didn't recall hearing it...

Was BumbleBee Man saying it cut as well?

Just like I predicted. Although it doesn't really change anything. It was to be expected. I can't see anything else in Season 5 hitting the cutting room floor now, unless the "Lil Bastard Clock Tampering Kit" is done away with in The Boy Who Knew Too Much.

[H Thompson]

I don't understand, what possible reason could they have for censoring that, why would anyone become offended by the notion that an American newsreader changes a fact for ease of pronunciation.

[Paul]

i don't know if you're being sarcastic or not, but i'll say it anyway - it would be offensive towards the asian disaster that ocurred on the 26th of december.

[Head Bee-Guy]

C4 do put the ads in weird places, e.g. I think they've put a break halfway through the first Treehouse of Horror segment at least once that I've seen, and I don't see the weekday episodes that often (would've been handier when Season 5 was miles away from being on DVD).

[Rich Uncle Skeleton]

Bumblebee Man's cut (stuff in bold was cut): after Kent says "Go ahead, try to find a replacement", Bumblebee Man rushes in and prepares to read the news. With a British accent, he reads about the tidal wave. Shocked by the news, he screams "Aye chiuaua!" and falls off his chair.

I was quite surprised by this cut - once Bumblebee Man had come on screen I thought the whole scene would go ahead. Note that there are no cuts between shots in the original, so it was pretty lucky that cutting this bit out wasn't noticable - at least it wasn't for me. Normally you'd expect to see a slight jump in the picture.

great now I feel stupid.

You should've said you were being sarcastic. ;)

[H Thompson]

But I was both times.

New episode scheduled for easter sunday according to Sky mag, doesn't say which but presumably it'll be Pranksta rap. and also a brief interview with Hank Azaria.
Sorry if we already said this I tend to just skim over this thread.

[Nameless]

Sky One have updated their schedules, thus, news on any possible new episode sunday slots;

13th March: NO NEW EPISODE (Repeat of Principal & Pauper)
20th March: NO NEW EPISODE (Repeat of My Sister, My Sitter)
There is no data for the 27th of March and beyond as of yet.

[Simpsons Forever!]

According to the March Sky Magazine, there will be a NEW EPISODE on 27th March (Easter Sunday.) It is likely to be GABF03 Pranksta Rap.

[D'oheth!]

I think I spotted two slo-mo cuts to C4's showing of Homer and Apu.

First, when Apu walks past the Simpson house, thunder storms in the background. Watch when it flashes - it is slowed down.

Secondly, when Homers open the door to Apu, one shot has lightening behind Apu. Slowed down there. Another shot of Apu, another flash, yet inconsistantly, no slowdown. Run that past me again...

[Nameless]

D'oheth is right.

[matt228]

I don't notice these "slow-mo" cuts...

Perhaps Liam should put a new colour on the Channel 4 Cuts page meaning "slow-mo". He put red on for added bits (the "Aargh!" in THOH4)

[Nameless]

Thought this thread just needed a little bump...

Only thing to say is that Channel 4 start airing S11 Fridays at 9PM from today. Superb, eh?

[matt228]

I'll certainly be watching

[kane]

i'm never in on Fridays at that time but i must say if i catch it i'll not hesitate to watch. Nor will I change the channel if i happen to catch it on Sundays.

[Nameless]

For those of you wondering why The Simpsons are on at 21:30 on 11 March on C4, they've been moved due to some film called "The Land Girls"

[Simpsons Forever!]

C4 are going to start showing S2 episodes again soon.

[D'oheth!]

Dammit - I was actually expecting something good on TV.

**Cures "Scrubs" blues by putting the DVD boxset on his "Must Buy" list**

[matt228]

Simpsorama is down again...

[Nameless]

In other news, in4mer have updated again, but no data has yet been scheduled for 12 March - 18 March. The weekdays at 6pm slot is pretty obvious, but I'm guessing the Friday at 9 slot will have another single episode so they can show continous double-bills from then on.

[matt228]

In4mer hasn't been able to give schedules 3 weeks in advance since Christmas...Shame that is.

[matt228]

Oh my God!

On NHC, I posted a thread about ideas for DVDs. I posted one called "The Simpsons on Holiday" and it featured the 4 episodes on the upcoming release "Around the World in 80 D'ohs!" (released 23 May). It seems like they stole my idea...

At least I get what DVD I want!

[Butters]

To homer228: OH MY GOD!

For those who care, my site'll be back up on Tuesday.

[Nameless]

To homer228:
OH MY GOD!

And to Butters, let's take that date with a pinch of salt ;)

[H Thompson]

Any cuts expected for Mommie Beerest tonight?

[Butters]

At most Moe calling Marge a "Know-it-all-bitch"... but that's really pushing it...

[Drunk Barney]

You getting excited HT? I'll look forward to your review:D

Judging by your previous reviews my guess is your give this one a B+

[Nameless]

Remember that OFF are included in "The 100 Greatest Cartoons" on C4 tonight at 8. :)

Not really got much to say other than a slightly odd grade of A-/ A-/A
kind of like A-.25 or A-1/4. For its pretty much classic era quality humour.

But I'm happier today for being A chelsea fan, but that's not for this thread.

[matt228]

I'm watching it from 10pm onwards (after Joey and Bruce Forsyth: A Bafta Tribute)

[snrub]

What about the half-hour between Joey and Brucie? We must know!

[Fallin2hell]

Well, I really enjoyed Mommie Beerest tonight. Of course, I had to convince members of my family to let me watch it(Apperantly, The Simpsons have been declining since Season 4. What are you on!? Sorry) I give it a 4/5 because I wasnt too keen on the two songs. Loved everything else though. Good Homer characterisation and was extremely funny.

[Rich Uncle Skeleton]

Heh, Simpsons won greatest cartoon show of all time...now who didn't see that coming? Actually it was a pretty decent list, with the exception of Futurama being 10 places too low (should have been in the top 10, easily). And Family Guy got into the top 5 - great!

Pretty off-topic here (and maybe no one cares), but my top 5 would have been: The Incredibles, Family Guy, South Park, Futurama, Simpsons.

[Simon Gibbons]

Notice they advertised simpsons on friday as being "brand new"

"Brand new" to terrestrial. But yes, that is pretty stupid.

Yes but is not even brand new to terrestrial, it is season 11, which was shown on bbc2 last year.

I thought you meant the previous Fridays. They are definitely not hyping S11 as new.

Oh, and in4mer have finally updated, and confirm that, as well as season 2 running weekdays, there is another double bill on 18 March, which is weird as thanks to the 11 March single ep, they wouldn't be able to keep on going with S11 in double-bills.

After the top 100 cartoons last night, which i was referring to if you read the post above mine. The presenter afterwards said you can watch classic episodes of simpsons at 6, and BRAND NEW episodes friday at 9.

They are definitely not hyping S11 as new
Looks like they are :)

[Nameless]

During the voiceovers before Beyond Blunderdome and Brother's Little Helper, they made no mention of them being new. How do you know 100 Greatest Cartoons wasn't filmed before 18 February and the last two S12 eps? If this is the only mention of C4 airing "new" eps until they start S13, then we know they're not hyping S11 as new.

[Simon Gibbons]

It was the channel 4 voiceover man at the end.

[Nameless]

Let's wait until we have further word on this. The voiceover man isn't Channel 4, he might have not realised S12 had finished.

It was most probabaly a mistake, but when they screen splits in half to usually show whats next, it came up in text aswell. Brand New Simpsons Friday 9:00pm

[matt228]

I was going to post about the "Brand New" mistake at the end of The 100 Greatest Cartoons too. Futurama not getting in the top 5 was an outrage, and so was the anime involved...I watched 10 minutes of the following South Park episode - does anyone know how many times they said 'shit' in the episode as a whole? They had a counter at the bottom-left to count it since the episode was about the word being OK to say...Butters?

162. I'll say what H_T said a few pages ago, just because this thread has "UK" in it's itle doesn't mean that it involves anything UK related. It's supposed to be about the Simpsons.

[Nameless]

Yes. Unless one of your eyes is blind, in which case you can only see the "UK" and not make out the rest. ;)

Anyway, I didn't see the end, but I still reckon this is a mistake - C4 don't have the S11 eps under their "new episode" box on the Simpsons C4 minisite.

[D'oheth!]

In rare thing for C4, Deep Space Homer was uncut.

I don't see Homer Loves Flanders getting cut, unless they have a problem with snipers...

[Nameless]

Bumping this up before it goes onto page 2...;)

[Simpsons Forever!]

Homer and Ned's Hail Mary Pass is on Sky this Sunday. I'm not expecting a great episode, but hopefully not too bad. My prediction is C. 3/5.

[729]

Pfft.. the bastard line in the ramones-happy-birthday was cut. Who cares? It's the DVDs that count.

C4 and Sky One need to set some guidelines for pre-watershed cuts.

For instance, in C4's current "guidelines" it is:
1. The word "bastard" will be treated in either of the following ways:
a) replacing the word with a scream
b) muting the word
c) cutting the word
d) leaving it in in an episode where the word is used 8 times (Oh Brother, Where Art Thou?, for an example)

et cetera That's so stupid, bastard isn't even a swear word and neither's piss.

[Blythy]

aye but there are daily mail readers in this country who if they hear it any time before 9 o'clock will write in and complain and organise a hate campaign against the channel.

errr... another one.

[matt228]

Most swear-words have actual, non-swear-word meanings.
"Bastard": a child born out of wedlock
"Piss": urine
etc...
So saying "bastard" and "piss" aren't swear words is technically right and wrong...right in the sense of the above (e.g. "Your parents weren't married when you were born so you're a bastard. Now excuse me while I have a piss."), but wrong in the sense of using them otherwise (e.g. "You bastard! Piss off!")

aye but there are daily mail readers in this country who if they hear it any time before 9 o'clock will write in and complain and organise a hate campaign against the channel.
True.

[Drunk Barney]

No offence Homer228 but you do waffle on sometimes dont you :D

I'm going for a piss IS swearing

Not sure about the b****rd bit though.

[snrub]

All swearwords start out with a non swear meaning. EG Shit is Excrement and Fuck is to have sexual intercourse with. I wouldn't say these are suitable for pre-watershed viewing though

[Butters]

No offence Homer228 but you do waffle on sometimes dont you :D

Nothing special is happening for Easter, then. Oh, well, at least there will be a new episode on 3rd April!

[Rich Uncle Skeleton]

Anyway, I didn't see the end, but I still reckon this is a mistake - C4 don't have the S11 eps under their "new episode" box on the Simpsons C4 minisite.
I think it's already been established that it was a mistake!


Did anyone see the Simpsons promo the other day on Channel 4? It had a Season Six episode in it! I think this is pretty solid proof that they will be showing Season 6 soon (but let's not get into a *huge* debte about it).

[matt228]

Yeah I waffle on a lot :D
All in the name of conversation...

I'd also like to add that Simpsorama is STILL down...:(

te footage on the 100 greatest cartoons was from season four and six - it may be a rolling way of doing things.

Beyond Blunderdome - 3/5
Brother's Little Helper - 2/5
Guess Who's Coming To Criticize Dinner - 4/5
THOHX - 3.5/5

in4mer schedules are up first time for once, and list the 19/03-25/03 18:00 episodes for once, but they don't yet have the Friday at 9 schedules up yet, so we can't tell if there's going to be a single or double bill - and they'd need a single bill somewhere thanks to the lone E-I-E-I-D'oh next week leaving them with an odd number of eps left.

[Drunk Barney]

Beyond Blunderdome - 4/5- underrated
Brother's Little Helper - 3.5/5- fairly good
Guess Who's Coming To Criticize Dinner - 3/5 - OK
THOHX - 3.5/5 (B) Good.

C4 go a step further in TBWKTM - we don't actually see the Lil' Bastard kit at all.
