| FUTURAMA CUTS SEASON 3 4: PARASITES LOST C4 PREMIERE 09.10.02, 18:30 THE ONE WHERE After Fry eats a bad sandwich at a fuelling station, worms' eggs hatch and worms start living inside his body, making him smarter and more muscular. Leela is asked to distract Fry while the rest of PX go into his body in to ask the worms to leave, using their net virtual-reality suits to shrink themselves. But while spending the day with Fry, Leela isn�t so sure that changing him back to his old self would be the best idea� DEFINITE CUTS ----------------- Outside, Fry and Leela walk past a construction site. Leela stops: LEELA Ugh! It's that jerk from the truck stop. Let's cross the street and blend in with that crowd of pimps. FRY I don't think so. [Walks up to Sal] Sir, I believe you owe this lady an apology. LEELA Fry, no. He's bulging with what could be muscles. [credit � Impossible and Aslate for the cut, and alt.tv.futurama on Google for the lines] ----------------- It seems like all the cuts so far have been for sleazy-sex things like 'pimp' and 'porno', while violence and language (apart from 'bastard') stay in. They haven't spoiled the storyline with cuts yet this season, which I welcome, but this 'pimps' joke was witty and still shouldn't have been censored. Thought for the week - maybe C4 are concentrating most of their censorship resources on Alias, from which they cut 5 and a half minutes of the first episode. Showing a violent series like that in the early-evening is dumb, but at least puts into perspective how inoffensive Futurama is in comparison. |
