[edit] Page Defacing after Censorship

It looks like the page has been defaced and a section removed from the main article to make claims involving the censorship issue. The page should be restored and the censorship issue discussed in the South Park article only.

no it should also be mentioned here since it is comedy central that caused the censorship. it is relevant information on the station.

Edit: Reverted article to April 13th version.

[edit] Comedy Central and the Censorship of muhammed

I think this is worth discussing. I'm too angry to say anything right now, but I hope others are calm enough. Please discuss.

Maybe you could at least explain what in the blue hell you're talking about? VelvetKevorkian 10:16, 20 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Comedy Central and Money

I was thinking about adding a section about how Comedy Central has the image of being cheap and paying their stars not a whole lot of money. Howard Stern, Dave Chapelle, and John Stewart have all mentioned this (there's video of it). Not to knock them but it seems to be a running gag on Comedy Central shows.

I suspect that this could be a more detailed article, although I would not be qualified to make it more so. Articles on other cable TV stations are definitely more detailed (MTV), why is this one so short? Could somebody add to this article?

[edit] odd

IS it wrong to point out that virtualy everyone who has a regular show on that channel is Jewish?

I'm looking at the list of current shows, and other than Jon Stewart, Matt Stone, and possibly one of the creators of Drawn Together (just going by his last name), I don't see anyone else who is Jewish. So how is that "virtually" everyone? Even including older original programming.

... It's Comedy Central, not Boring WASP Central.

[edit] CC launch in Germany

Comedy Central is currently advertising it's launch in Germany all over the web and over MTV Central. I added a quick note to the first line. This line should be changed to "in the United States and in Germany" (o.s.) once the german station has launched (15. Jan. 2007). If someone is interested, a small section or some lines about it would be good. - - 'twsx'talk'cont' 15:54, 26 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] forgotten..

forgotten shows?

Insomniac with Dave Attel? The Howard Stern Show? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 71.57.47.184 (talk) 23:13, 2 April 2007 (UTC).

Howard wasn't on Comedy Central, he was on E! —Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.184.241.144 (talk • contribs) 16:57, 29 July 2007

[edit] Time Warner Channel Number

I notice that the information box on the right side lists a Time Warner channel number. Should this be there? It's highly inaccurate, as cable channeling varies greatly by market (for example, here Comedy Central is channel 54, not 35) 72.135.237.145 03:11, 12 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] The Scrubs network?

Has anyone else noticed that any time you turn on this channel you are seeing a rerun of scrubs? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.184.241.144 (talk • contribs) 16:59, 29 July 2007

It's not every time, it's only for a few hours in the daytime and evenings. Also, I'd like to remind you and everyone else: Wikipedia talk pages are NOT forums! --Andrewlp1991 04:17, 4 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] CC in the 1990s

The "History" section of this page has a "more sources" tag because of the lack of sources for verification. I have trouble with something right here about Comedy Central's old name. This New York Times article says that CTV was "Comedy TV", but I see another article claiming that the initial merger name was "CTV the Comedy Network". Also I couldn't seem to find a source for a dispute with CTV Television Network of Canada. Also I'm at a loss to find sources for the "Secret Stash" and South Park being the first-ever "TV-MA" show on basic cable. I really need your help to add sources, otherwise the ugly "more sources needed" tag will remain indefinitely. --Andrewlp1991 04:40, 4 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Southparkforcc.JPG

Image:Southparkforcc.JPG is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion.
