yeah Channel 4 have been really dragging their feet about it. They originally planned to show it in January so it's taken them long enough! The show actually starts at 9:30pm with a quick behind the scenes look with Matt Groening. The bad news is that after the first episode, the series moves to Thursday nights at 6pm and repeats on Sunday during T4 which of course will subject us to edits  No matter how hard people from channel 4 assure me it won't I think we'll be saying hello to plenty of edits, especially when the second season starts straight after the first one.

I was also suprised to see how colorful it looked in TV, when I saw the first episode back in March from MTV3 here (I had seen realvideos and MPEGs before). And I'm glad the censorship-politics in Finland are quite liberal.
Do they REALLY cut out something like that (mild expressions and even hints to sex) in UK?

Well it's a good thing they didn't cut Bender's "Bite my shinny metal ass" out. I thought they did.

Maybe moralists _still_ have difficulty accepting that just because a show is a cartoon doesn't mean that it's aimed for kids.

Here it is:
"She be coming round the mountain when she comes, She be coming round the mountain when she comes," I'll kill you Amy! "She be coming round the mountain...
" I be riding six white horsese when she comes" Hey I'm pretty good.
"Well I shoot her with my raygun when she comes, I shoot her with my raygun when she comes, Yes I shoot her with my raygun,I shoot her with my raygun,I shoot her with my raygun when she comes."
"I be blasting all the humans in the world,I be blasting all the humans in the world, I be blasting all the humans,I be blasting all the humans, I be blasting all the humans in the world" One more time!

Did anybody note than on Channel 4, the guy who goes into the Tubne system doesn't say "JFK Jr Airport", but something entirely different. What was it?
I think it a neat change as a mark of respect though.

Originally posted by reedy2: The guy in the tube says "Radio City Mutant Hall" and the bits that were edited out of tonight's episode (Loves Labours...) were: Leela: "Guys, do you mind" Bender: "Here you go, you can use this as an eyepoker" (hands Leela a fork) (I thought that was a really silly edit as they included Bender later on reminding Leela to not forget the fork) Also when Zapp says "You're abviously confused and arowsed" they edited out "and arowsed" After next week's episode they will be moving Futurama back to the 6pm slot. These two weeks were apparently a test to see if it did well. (Yeah, I know it's stupid, tell it to them)
Thanks for clearing that up, to do with the pilot, most grateful. Agree with you about C4 as well.

Why would channel 4 want to cut the fucking bits out? There's nothing wrong with them!
