Author Topic: Syndicator to Clean up "South Park" for Broadcast TV Bill Gabel Film God Posts: 3873 From: Technicolor / Postworks NY, USA Registered: Jan 2002 posted 09-04-2003 04:07 PM                     Recently relaunched TV syndicator Debmar Studios has bought the rerun rights to Comedy Centrals "South Park" and plans to clean up language & sell the shows to broadcast TV stations. Of the 140 "South Park" epsodes produced thus far only 10-12 cannot be edited for broadcast. http://www.imdb.com/StudioBrief/#1  |  IP: Logged Bruce McGee Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1776 From: Asheville, NC USA...

Actually, I am amazed at what the local stations do play... Springer and all that crap, etc. Uncut South Park RULES!!!  |  IP: Logged Bobby Henderson "Ask me about Trajan."

They just fuzz out the exposed nipples and bleep the curse words. Yet the message still gets through loud and clear. The average soap and afternoon talk show is about as appropriate for general audience viewing as a hardcore porn flick. I enjoy watching "South Park" on occaision. However, I would not consider it appropriate for over-the-air programming regardless of how well they bleep out Cartman's curses.  |  IP: Logged Ken Layton Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1452 From: Olympia, Wash.

I see them on display in the video section at Target Stores.  |  IP: Logged Greg Mueller Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1687 From: Port Gamble, WA Registered: Jun 99 posted 09-06-2003 11:32 AM                        Syndicator to Clean up "South Park" for Broadcast TV......
