[ACTV]

I think it's fair to say there's NO way they could have put South Park on pre-watershed, any editing would just make it incomprehensible! About probably about 30 seconds long. At least Futurama and King Of The Hill can go out in daytime with comparatively minimal editing, both (like The Simpsons) are only PG and 12 rated on DVD. 15 and 18 rated South Park, no way!

Though admittedly I'm suprised Family Guy was ever seen as suitable for daytime screenings either, even if it's not anywhere near as crude as South Park.

Oh yes of course, South Park would be totally unsuitable for a daytime audience and if Channel 4 even tried they'd have probably ended up with a mouthful off the ITC or Ofcom unless it was slaughtered to pieces. It just seemed as if it was the only adult animation (pre-Simpsons) that Channel 4 seemed to genuinely value, as Futurama, King of The Hill and Family Guy never found any permanent or successful slot on C4 whilst South Park was very much a staple of the Friday night lineup.
