Radio City Mutant Hall On DVD?

[mjsmith]

Have anyone check if they say anything on about Radio City Mutant Hall on the Futurama Season 1 DVD? Hear it on CN tonight, as they replaying Space Pilot 3000 tonight.

Kind of odd that as they replaying Episode 1, they promoted the Season 1 DVD (With the "24th Century on his" remark, as they reshown it with the 24th Century on his ass one), as well as tomorrow's The Series Have Landed, both on the DVD :dot:

Its Radio City Music Hall on the DVD. The reason the commerical is censored is because it airs on other networks, with other commerical standards.

According to Matt Wilson, the studio changed it from "JFK Junior Airport" to "Radio City Mutant Hall" after JFK Junior's death, not Cartoon Network. Still, it's a pretty moronic edit, in my opinion. Predictions of the future are never accurate, especially satirical ones; you can't just go around changing fictional accounts of the future just because they were inaccurate, no matter how nocuous they seem now. That's also how I feel about the Columbia episode of Cowboy Bebop. But getting back on topic, since the studio that made Futurama made the edit, it’s probably like that on the DVD.

On the audio commentaries to "Space Pilot 3000" either Matt Groening or David Cohen explain how the line was changed as a sign of respect to the family of JFK Jr.

The "JFK Jr. Airport" line is still on the DVD, in the animatics version of SP3K.

I'm pretty sure they changed it not because it was a wrong prediction, but the fact that JFK Junior died on a plane would make the joke have a different and meaner meaning then was intended. I'm sure it was a case of the creators feeling like asshats rather than network censorship.

Besides, it's still on their as an extra.

Oh, I now understand. There is an unfortunate coincidence there between JFK Junior's cause of death and the word "airport". I can understand it now. I just thought they edited it because the guy died.
