I Can't Imagine Why Fox Didn't Like This

I have no insight into why this little musical number from Family Guy wasn't broadcast.  (It looks like it was to have been part of the fall '07 episode "Lois Kills Stewie".)  The Entertainment Weekly post where I found it thinks it was the network censors, but other than the original YouTube uploader calling it "banned" I don't see any evidence of that, it may just have not made the final cut.  Of course, saying something was "banned" or implying that it's somehow too "think of the children" for broadcast television certainly makes it more appealing than saying it just didn't fit in the episode. 

That said, I doubt that the joke at about 2:15 pleased any network higher ups:

I could quibble with the particulars, but really I just like seeing other people say that Simpsons isn't funny any longer.  

Unsurprisingly, the always tedious "Simpsons Sucks/no it doesn't Family Guy sucks" back and forth breaks out in the comments section of both the Entertainment Weekly post and the originating YouTube link.

Good news everybody, that abortion last Sunday was the least watched Zombie Simpsons ever:

An extended mid-season break has bitten The Simpsons dearly in the ratings, with Sundays episode ‘Lisa The Drama Queen’ fetching just 5.75 million viewers at 8:00pm, a new all time low for the show.

Huzzah.  But wait, there's more!  How about some insult to go with that injury?

a new American Dad scored 5.73 million viewers at 9.30.

American Dad?  A first run Simpsons episode is just as interesting to people as Family Guy's recycled afterbirth?  It's too bad that the people keeping Zombie Simpsons on the air have no remaining shame or they might be embarrassed.  

Ah well, a good sign nevertheless.  Unprofitability here we come!
