Saw BSG.

Problem solved, as far as I'm concerned.

More evidence that Moore has NO IDEA WHAT HE'S DOING ANYMORE.

South Park is going to offend a lot of people tonight...be prepared for angry NAACP groups tomorrow

New one is at 9:30 right? I'm awful at remembering to watch shows.

The description that I am getting when I click info basically says that N-word usage is on the rise in South Park and that Cartman will clash with a "little" person. It is on at 10

I expect this show to be more offensive than the scientology show.

Sad but I think this is correct. Generally the shows I love die off for reasons other than their own decline, but BSG might get that fate on merit.

Sounds like it, Comedy Central will be opening up their wallet after this. Probably worth the price of publicity though, whatever kind it might be.

I expect we'll look back on BSG and realize that the oh-so-daring New Caprica move at the end of season 2 was their jump the shark moment.

Please tell me why they would have to pay a fine...did they ahve to pay a fine on the 'cursing' show?

I am pretty sure that they did, I actually thought that they had to pay a certain amount for each F-Bomb

I love this country...i really do, it's so stupidly run and has such idiotic rules...i love it...no cursing, no tits, but as much corpse as you want.

Sure...who cares about education but baseball players better not do steroids.

South Park is the funniest god damn show on television

I am having trouble remembering, there was an episode that they said Shi* a lot, maybe that is the one that they were fined for each curse, but they apparently knew that it was coming before they released it.

I will probably record tonight's episode and watch Lost in real-time

yeah, because NYPD Blue (i think) was going to say it so they decided to say it like 160 times in an episode.

who has the power to fine them? i think they just piss off certain groups but never actually get fined.

The FCC can fine them...if they find they violated 'broadcasting standards'

South Park tends to violate broadcasting standards at least 3 times an episode.

I was hoping they'd go after scientology again today and bring back darth chef

Could be. But I still think those first four episodes up through the "exodus" were tremendous. They just totally lost focus after that. I'm almost tempted to try to rewrite the series from that point, but I don't think I'm quite enough of a geek (or really have the time) to do it.

Well rumor is that the season finale this season will be as 'altering' as lay down your burdens part 1 and 2

cant get fined. not subject to the fcc. cable regulates itself according to standards and advertising. south parks advertisers and comedy central obviously didnt care, so it happened.

I don't know much about the maker of BSG, I've listened to a few of the commentaries from season 2 and was at least impressed with his honest reflectiveness. The God-awful thing about the last five or so clunkers is that they still have the best raw material on television (or, at least, on basic cable): E.J.O., Mary McDonnell, the dude that plays Tigh, Baltar, etc. -- it shouldn't be that difficult to get this show back on track, but its weakness going back to the mini-series has been its penchant for overwrought soap opera. Hopefully Starbuck's demise will give the plot something resembling direction.

For you Knights fans, I offer you this email from the producer to thefutoncritic:

As you may have seen, the last episode that aired introduced a new storyline about the Knights robbing Ray Romano. The four remaining unaired episodes start, but do not finish, that storyline. The reason ABC pulled the last four episodes was so that the show could potentially be relaunched in the fall at the beginning of the Ray story, rather than somewhere in the middle of things."

Spin, false hope, Woody? Who knows. But it's better than "yea, were done."
