How the FCC Ruined FOX ADHD’s Saturday Night

One of FOX’s surprise shows of the year didn’t air a new episode this past Saturday Night. Find out which after the jump!

Some Spoilers Below

Saturday Night was looking to be a pretty rad night. I went to Burger King, got myself a Whopper with Cheese, sat down to watch the rest of the Cowboys/Bengals pre-season game which finished pretty much right when Animation Domination usually starts @ 11pm and since my Cowboys won in impressive fashion I was thinking there was NO way tonight could be fucked over, right? WRONG!

A brand-new Axe Cop goes off without a hitch, but then a rerun of Axe Cop, and then back-to-back reruns of High School USA! aired. Hmmmmm…..yep, my evening was ruined. Here I was thinking High School USA! was just going to top off a rather awesome evening only to get hammered at the end.

After doing some research, I learned through High School USA! creator and writer Dino Stamatopoulos that the FCC is to blame for High School USA!’s latest episode not airing. The name of the episode was ‘Best Friends Forever’ and we actually published preview pics a while back for that episode, but then FOX switched the episode from that to ‘Adderall’. The premise of ‘Best Friends Forever’ followed Amber as she finds out that her mother was involved in adult films. During the course of the episode, Amber would start to lose faith in her friendships while Marsh would learn all about porn before there was internet.

I didn’t get to see the episode, but from the sounds of it it sounds like another case of the FCC overreacting. This of course comes at a time where FOX is looking to petition the FCC in relaxing on some of its indecent content regulations all of which aren’t very clear to begin with and usually change as often as the weather.

Thankfully, we have the internet and the FCC haven’t found a way to ruin that just yet because there would be a fucking porno march on the US Capitol faster than you can type ‘Pornhub.com‘. In an age where we no longer have brothels or legal prostitution, porn and cheating are the only ways married guys are able to ‘release demons’ when their wives don’t want to fuck them which is a very real thing and is certainly a contributor to the almost half of all American marriages ending in divorce.

Granted I haven’t seen the High School USA! episode in question, but I can’t imagine it being SO bad that it couldn’t be aired. For starters the fucking show comes on at 11:15pm EST on a Saturday Night, so I can’t imagine people accidentally switching on High School USA! that A) aren’t adults and B) easily offended due to the fact that FOX has always aired controversial programming on late-night Saturday Nights for the better part of 25 years with brands like MADtv, In Living Color, and others all taking a whiff at one point or another all at pretty much the same time slot so I don’t see what the big deal is. Not only that, but all TV’s come with parental controls so even if you have curious kids up late past their bed-time you can probably control it and if you don’t  make those changes then you should be the last person that complains.

So, what can FOX do? Let’s face it, the FCC are the name-brand of wet blankets. From fining one of my child-hood heroes, Howard Stern, into the millions or getting all bent out of shape when the entire planet got to see a half a second of Janet Jackson boob during Super Bowl 38, the FCC always knew how to ruin a party. Weirdly enough, whenever the FCC does something to try and stop indecency, it always back fires. Howard Stern would go on to work for SiriusXM radio where he can say fuck 15 times a day and not hear a thing, all the while getting to bang out a super model and make $20 million a year. Janet Jackson would get black listed by media outlets everywhere (yes, kids even MTV), but as a result of the incident a young German kid would have trouble finding any semblance of the boob footage on the internet, so he decided to start a company where he can more easily upload and search for video clips. That company would later be called Youtube, which would subsequently see that German kid (aka Jawed Karim) make off with close to $70 million from a Google buy out of the company. Not too shabby, right?

In my opinion, if you are FOX I say you put the episode on FOXAdhd.com or put it out on DVD similar to what they did for Family Guy. Either way, mark my words, the FCC may have won the battle in ruining  FOX’s Saturday Night, but, they will not win the war.
