    Stuff cut out, including the importance of the Allspark when they found it (I think) and when Megatron confronts Starscream and bends his wing. There are already spots for commercials! What they did is cut more out at those points.

    Disgusting!

    I have e-mailed Toasted TV to correct this problem (as I did with Cybertron 2 years ago!)

    We'll see how it goes.

    Thats disappointing, but not surprising.

    I don't know why morning kids shows need to have hosts, Cheez Tv was always better when it was summer and the hosts were off on holidays, and the ABC has had host-less sections for years.

    Ah, the bloody ads... (well, as long as they're ads for TFs - then that's ok )

    Nothing new there. They've been doing it for the last ~19 years that they've been running the simpsons, every episode is cut. They have never ever shown a full episode. Ever. It's so refreshing to watch old episodes on Fox8 these days and seeing all of the parts you never knew even existed.

    But heck, even channel 10 was cutting even further. For example, they'd cut the scene of scratchtasia in the simpsons, then the next time they showed the same ep, that scene was cut even more.

    I don't even put the tv onto ch. 10 anymore, nor have I for the last 6 years or so. Ch 10 can go DIAF. I'd rather pay the $50 or so a month for uncut TV. And hosted shows can be good, Maude & Kyle on Nicklodeon are great. Plus there's a few good channels on TVU.

    While I agree it theory about the cuts to the Simpsons, they have surprised me. I remember a couple of months ago watching "Separate Vocations" (when Bart goes good and Lisa becomes a rebel, from back when the show was good) on channel 10 and was surprised to see scenes (extended car chase, Lisa being offered smokes) that I'd never seen before in an episode I've seen many times before. I was like, this never happened before?!?
