Venezuelan broadcasting regulator Conatel has forced The Simpsons off the air during the morning cartoon hours, calling it a bad influence on children, and replaced it with ... Baywatch!
No. Really. Link
(The Simpsons are also causing controversy in another South American country, Argentina, when the show talked about Juan Perón)
The Simpsons used to be good. It's terrible now.
In Spain all the media said than Chavez banned the Simpson cause they are from EEUU, but were the judges who thought that Simpson are not for children. And, in fact, they aren´t.
Do you think that it´s good for a 7 years old boy to watch sons discussing about who want less to their father or see Marge Drunk or Homer drinking o bla bla bla?
When The Simpson started in my country, they were at 21:00, cause they were not for children.
hope that clears things up :)
Baywatch is just mindless drivel with T&A thrown in, but I consider it the lesser of the two evils.
I guess they wouldn't vote Hillary over there ;)
I saw a headline that the Simpsons had been reinstated as of late last week.
