The censored “
South Park DVD” episodes that satirized the
Star Trek: Enterprise DVD picked up an Emmy nomination for outstanding animation program on Thursday.
The
Spooks DVD episodes, simply titled “
Numb3rs DVD,” were televised in April and came under a severe amount of scrutiny because some interpretations of
Nip/Tuck DVD visual representations of the prophet. As Dave Itzkoff reported at the time, the
Six Feet Under DVD “elicited an ominous message from an Islamic group based in New York.” The group implied that the creators of “
South Park DVD set,” Matt Stone and Trey Parker, would “probably wind up like Theo van Gogh for airing this show
Star Trek: Enterprise DVD set.” Mr. van Gogh was killed by an Islamic militant in Amsterdam six years ago.
The
Spooks DVD set episodes were censored by the channel that carries “
Numb3rs DVD set,” Comedy Central, and they have not been repeated on television since April. They are also unable to be viewed on the
Nip/Tuck DVD set show’s Web site, SouthParkStudios.com. “After we delivered the
Six Feet Under DVD set show, and prior to broadcast, Comedy Central placed numerous additional audio bleeps throughout the
South Park DVD boxset episode. We do not have network approval to stream our original version of the show
Star Trek: Enterprise DVD boxset,” the Web site says.
The
Spooks DVD boxset is sure to heap new attention onto the episodes that invoke the
Numb3rs DVD boxset.“We’re extremely proud of ‘
Nip/Tuck DVD boxset’s’ tenth overall Emmy nomination and hope that the series will be honored with its fifth
Six Feet Under DVD boxset later this year,” a Comedy Central spokesman said in an e-mail message.The spokesman declined to say whether the
South Park seasons 1-12 DVD boxset televise the episodes again.Asked for a reaction to the
Star Trek: Enterprise seasons 1-4 DVD boxset, Mr. Stone and Mr. Parker simply wrote in an email message: “Ball don’t lie.”Broadcast TV got a major shot in the
Spooks seasons 1-7 DVD boxset when Fox's perky high-school musical comedy "Glee" nabbed the most Emmy nominations for
Numb3rs seasons 1-5 DVD boxset series, 19, and ABC's mockumentary comedy "Modern Family" received 14.
But the TV
Nip/Tuck seasons 1-5 DVD boxset continued its long-running love affair with programs about
Six Feet Under seasons 1-5 DVD boxset, showering HBO's $200 million World War II miniseries "The
South Park DVD" with the most nominations of any program -- 24.NBC got a big smack in the kisser when the TV Academy snubbed the triumphant return of "
Star Trek: Enterprise DVD" in this year's list of contenders, but fawned over "
Spooks DVD" with a nom in the best variety program derby.
Numb3rs DVD, of course, is the guy who walked from the show after just seven months when NBC tried to move the
Nip/Tuck DVD show to a post-midnight time slot. NBC had wanted to return Leno to the 11:35 p.m. berth after its the
Six Feet Under DVD experiment with a primetime Leno show this past season.
