In contrast, Universal has much more common sense than Warner Bros. Notice they didn't pull Smokey and the Bandit from rotation (which was credited for inspiring The Dukes of Hazzard, and also had a Confederate Flag car). They also didn't pull the three episodes of Knight Rider (The Duke Boys'...
Also, notice Matlock is still airing, and that has the Confederate flag prominently displayed with the American flag during the courtroom scenes. Even the first Smokey and the Bandit, which had the Georgia state Confederate licence plate on the front of the car, still airs. Why is The Dukes of...
Just now, I was on Warner Archive on Facebook, and I asked them about the Enos spin-off. I also reminded them not to let the Confederate flag controversy of its parent series get the better of them. They said that the only hurdles are clearance issues and mastering.
Warner doesn't know Jack about being a business. If they did, they wouldn't be letting that waste of human flesh win, by doing one of the two things you just mentioned; in this case, they picked the 2nd option.
Meanwhile, it's a good thing TCM didn't bow down to the PC film critic, who called for Gone With the Wind to be banned; they'll be showing it next month.
Bubba Watson is an idiot for bowing down to political correctness. Everybody should go on his Twitter page, and call him an idiot. Maybe THEN, he will come to his senses.
But what about the fact that they stopped producing merchandise, and restricted the sale and distribution of confederate flags? This alone is enough for me to believe that they're trying to ban the show, because they think that it will inspire another shooting.
The push to stop the ban is...
That'a what happens when Warner bows to pressure, all because of ONE misguided individual.
BTW, I found out that last night, Cartoon Network, which Warner owns, showed an episode of The Cleveland Show, with the confederate flags and everything.
This reeks of hypocrisy, and nobody, including...
According to TV Land, and people like them, this show should be banned for featuring the Confederate Flag.
What about this episode of The Beverly Hillbillies from season 6? Should it be banned, too? People need to rebel against TV Land, and tell them, "Enough is Enough".
Wonder if anyone has bombared Bubba Watson with complaints, telling him to reconsider? That is news I would love to hear.
He's such a stupid hypocrite. If the car offends him so much, why did he buy it then?
It is sick to alter history, and I say this as someone who is not a fan of the Confederate Flag.
And anyone at Warner who even THINKS about digitally altering the car, should not be allowed to hold employment. Ever again.
TV Land is about as smart as the BBC. Meaning they have no clue what the hell they are doing.
This is just like when the BBC banned the Jimmy Savile episodes of Top of the Pops, after his secret life was exposed. BBC were idiots for doing this (like it or not, they're part of history), and TV...
