... when Comedy Central's South Park goes into syndication on Sept. 19, don't expect to see all your favorite naughty bits. Distributor Mort Marcus says he has been "nip-tucking" the raunchy 'toon for broadcast, albeit with a little help. "We set up what I call a station board — kind of like a board of directors — and they represent a large cut of our broadcast stations," he explains.

"We've been careful the show stays funny," promises Marcus.

All told, Marcus says that only "a few... maybe 5 percent" of the episodes poised for syndication won't be run at all, primarily because the necessary edits didn't pass muster with Stone and Parker. But the eligible pool in question is a little over a year behind what's premiering on Comedy Central, so such particularly sticky wickets, like the Mel Gibson movie-mocking "Passion of the Jew" episode, have yet to come under scrutiny. "I'm assuming that we can air [that one]," Marcus shrugs, "but I have yet to actually watch it."

Oh well at least the DVD's have everything.

This will suck in syndication.

I'm assuming he's wrong, :lol

They should be able to air the Russel Crowe one, which will be great. "OY! Weahh in Brooklyn, New Yoahk, and its filled wif lots o' menorities, and they LOVE foightin'!"

I thought my mother was insane when she said this the other day. "That cartoon with all the little boys that say fuck alot is going to be put on TV"

I was like, "Huh?! Wha? South Park, no that can't be"

Looks like she was right and I owe her and apology.

What show isn't cut for syndication?

Agreed. There's no way that Passion of the Jew will make it into syndication. How would they edit around the Hitler bit Cartman did? I just can't see that one making it.

From the link:
It's a process that has never been done with any other series entering syndication. (Leave it to South Park to break all kinds of ground.)

New South Park has sucked period, but I don't see the point in airing old episodes in syndication. The show had enough 'beeps' for comedic effect, anymore and it's just going to sound like a test of your local emergency system.

You shouldn't have shanked her so quickly then.

I think its going to be cutting scenes, not beeping asshole and racial blasts.

I guess they are refering to their specific method of cutting/approval because they did something similar for Sex and the City.

Yay, South Park with 20 minutes of commercials.

Stone & Parker have final say. If they don't like the edit they don't have to show it. I think they just cleaned up Sex and the City and showed them all.

 

[Brian Fellows]

I'll have every DVD set when they come out so I could really care less.

 

[LakeEarth]

Whatever, as long as they are on TV. I wonder if the "shit" episide will make it through. :lol

Of course it will. It'll just have the most *bleebs* in television history.

 

[Sapiens]

It's aired for over a year on Canada's Comedy Channel unedited (as far as I know).

If they do the 80's-era profanity redubbing, I'm totally there. I'm want to witness the most "shucks" or "shirts" shouted in a 30-minute show.

Doesn't syndication mean cable tv (big networks ABC, FOX) etc. Sometimes they show South Park re-runs on Global. I guess they don't care in Canada.

If they redubbed in a SouthParkian way they good easily make the show funnier. It might take some extra studio work for Matt and Trey, but damn they could make it funny.

 

[MrPing1000]

so how does this work? We don't have anything like this in the UK, full unedited fun on terrestrial channel 4

The best one was Dumb and Dumber where the guy holds them all hostage.

In the movie, Carrey says:

"Right on my ass after you kiss it."

TV:

"Right on my sandwich after you kiss it."

Yeah but Canada doesn't care. Even though that's a cable network, even the non-cable network show movies unedited.

Oh TBS what would I do without you
