Hopefully they will schedule it for 6.30


Christ, no! Why the hell would you want them to schedule it so early in the evening? Shocked

If it goes at 6.30pm, they will HAVE to edit it quite heavily. Family Guy is NOT a children's series, or even a family show - it's really an adult show, and it deserves a proper adult slot so that it can be shown uncut.


If I'm honest I actually haven't seen an episode before! I knew it was a Simpsons-type show so assumed that 6.30 would be a natural time to schedule it. Sky didn't used to show it particularly late either, did they? Surely there can't be that much adult content? After all, the Simpsons wasn't meant to be for kids, was it?


No, but it has a most definite 'edge' that The Simpsons rarely steps on. Usually leads to heavy editing on early showings (or most showings at all), hence the only true experience is to be found on DVD.

One episode was banned from American TV for been too cotroversial.

Much better IMO. Not too afriad to step over the line.

I really hope they do, i really like Futurama and was so annoyed to hear that they had renewed the Simpsons and not that, considering Futurama is so much better.


I also was annoyed that Fox ditched Futurama and kept the Simpsons but was also annoyed that they'd kept King of the Hill - I cannot stand it!

BBC2 have only got the rights to the new episodes of Family Guy. The old episodes are still held by Channel 4 and Sky One IIRC -although there was a rumour that the BBC had got the old episodes too, but so far that seems to be untrue


FX are showing the old episodes from next month.
