Booster4324 Posted April 14, 2011 Posted April 14, 2011 No Star Trek, no Quantum Leap, no Dr Who... Hope this backfires on them and creates more dissent. Link But the latest guidance on television programming from the State Administration of Radio Film and Television in China borders on the surreal – or, rather, an attack against the surreal. New guidelines issued on March 31 discourages plot lines that contain elements of "fantasy, time-travel, random compilations of mythical stories, bizarre plots, absurd techniques, even propagating feudal superstitions, fatalism and reincarnation, ambiguous moral lessons, and a lack of positive thinking."
Cugalabanza Posted April 14, 2011 Posted April 14, 2011 Wow, you take away all those things and all you have left to watch are episodes of According to Jim.
Booster4324 Posted April 14, 2011 Author Posted April 14, 2011 Wow, you take away all those things and all you have left to watch are episodes of According to Jim. Well, I can understand their concern for history. One must preserve the truth and show respect for the past... <cough>Tiananmen Square<cough>
DrDawkinstein Posted April 14, 2011 Posted April 14, 2011 Since Time Travel is probably my favorite subject, I take great offense to this.
BuffaloBill Posted April 14, 2011 Posted April 14, 2011 No Star Trek, no Quantum Leap, no Dr Who... Hope this backfires on them and creates more dissent. Link Their guidelines would rule out most American Tv.
Cugalabanza Posted April 14, 2011 Posted April 14, 2011 Their guidelines would rule out most American Tv. The entire series of Lost would be edited down to one 5 minute short about some nice people taking a flight to Australia to learn the value of hard work.

Chef Jim Posted April 14, 2011 Posted April 14, 2011 Their guidelines would rule out most American Tv. I think they're on to something.
Philly McButterpants Posted April 16, 2011 Posted April 16, 2011 Wow, you take away all those things and all you have left to watch are episodes of According to Jim. But that's a mythical story too . . .there's no way a fat slob like that would nab a hottie like Courtney Thorne-Smith in real life!! And there's no way she would look like that after having 3 kids . . .
