I guess they figured out that multiple variety shows featuring women in g-strings and massive boobs weren't exactly E/I-friendly.

lol. I guess Telemundo feels lucky then. If the FCC came after them they could just do like TBS and air two straight hours of Saved by the Bell.

Those are cable channels. Networks have to air some kind of children't programming.

EDIT:

TBS airs two straight hours of Saved by the Bell. Thats considered children's programming. PLUS, it airs Cosby Show, Home Improvement, and Yes Dear. All of which are considered family programs. Not to mention family-friendly films which they air every once in a while.

Sci-Fi airs old Star Trek episodes. That can also be considered family entertainment.

And FX airs Nip/Tuck and Dirt, witch are really HBO style shows.

That sucks. Univision has some shows that there is no way they would fly on english speaking stations. lol.

One day, the FCC headquarters will be bombed. Seriously.

 

[Abaddon]

haha they should do what Telemundo does and air the spanish dubbed american shows with the cartoons talking funny.

 

[Darthphere]

Thats what Univision gets for not showing re-runs of Carousel and Luz Clarita.

They've gotten horribly controlling and interfering under the current neo-con regime. I'm hoping things will loosen up again to be more reasonable once the neo-con's are out of the White House.

Damnit, Univision! Just take the big-boobied woman, and stand her next to a clown on a tiny bicycle, and throw some kids in the audience! That's what Telemundo does.

They just need to air more Chavo del 8 and Chapulin Colorado...

That's what Brozo is for, he also gives the news and editorial commentary.

lol I used to watch that as a kid. Its probably the only good Mexican shows ever made. Just like Bienvenidos is like the only good variety show in Venezuela.

The FCC does set down some necessary guidelines, but these days, they're just going way to far with this crap.

Since when does a television station get fined for lack of children's programming. What kid watches Univision?

I love Mexican TVt:



stupid FCC
