I am watching the Mel Gibson episode of Family Guy airing on My Network TV and at the beginning when Lois admits she was fantasizing about Mel Gibson it's weirdly edited to George Clooney. Then Peter again says George Clooney instead of Mel Gibson. I don't get the point of this? I mean, Mel is going to show up later in the episode, which is the point of the episode. Anyone else notice this?

Was this done after the tapes came out? Could it have been edited that quickly?

Just wait until it runs over into other stuff
"We'll return to Braveheart starring Owen Wilson, in one minute"

Considering they just aired Lethal Weapon on A&E this weekend, I think you're overreacting. Likely just a mistake in editing.

It just doesn't make sense to me. |

If there is concern about Mel Gibson after the latest tape issue why not just pull the episode from syndication?

It'd be funny if, instead of Peter's and Lois' voices, the words "George Clooney" was said by Stan Smith and Francine. |

Actually, in the beginning, they do talk about George Clooney first. It's why they take the vacation in the first place, cause Peter thought she thought sex with him was boring. Then Peter sees the Gibson story for the hotel, fakes his way in, and then Lois calls him Mel in bed.

Now move along folks, nothing to see here now. |

Considering some of the stuff Family Guy has done I find it really hard to believe they would change anything in their show. I can see a local station messing with it, but the show creators wouldn't. In fact, I'd be surprised if they didn't throw in a Mel joke (about the tapes) in the upcoming season.

In about 2001, chanel 4 here in the UK decided to put Family Guy on at Sunday lunchtimes, this meant heavy editing.
One episode had 2 members of opposing baseball teams chatting:
Player 1: want some gum?
Player 2: thanks!
Player 1: now you're addicted to heroin!
Player 2: so cold
was edited into:
Player 1: want some gum?
Player 2: thanks!
Player 2: so cold
