Citing Concerns for Kids, Venezuela Replaced The Simpsons with Baywatch

Venezuelan broadcasting regulator Conatel has forced The Simpsons off the air during the morning cartoon hours, calling it a bad influence on children, and replaced it with ... Baywatch!

No. Really. Link

(The Simpsons are also causing controversy in another South American country, Argentina, when the show talked about Juan Perón)


It´s curious.

In Spain all the media said than Chavez banned the Simpson cause they are from EEUU, but were the judges who thought that Simpson are not for children. And, in fact, they aren´t.

Do you think that it´s good for a 7 years old boy to watch sons discussing about who want less to their father or see Marge Drunk or Homer drinking o bla bla bla?

When The Simpson started in my country, they were at 21:00, cause they were not for children.

this post isn't very accurate. the regulators wanted the simpsons' showing time changed to a later (kid-friendly) time. the broadcaster refused, and so the regulators pulled it off the air. furthermore, the change to baywatch was the broadcaster's decision, not the regulators. finally, the simpsons are now back on the air (later).

hope that clears things up :)

This reminds me of the Simpsons episode where the family goes to Brazil (I think it was Brazil) and they watch the "kid" show with the shapely ladies dancing around with tassels on.

Why does the article say "Hawaii Babewatch' instead of Baywatch?? Cultural differences, translation glitch, or some terrifying bastard spawn of Baywatch?

What a shame! Baywatch is terrible! I can never get sick of The Simpsons...it's still relevant and hilarious today as when it first started. It's great that the former executive producers of the show is doing a new series. I can't wait!
