Venezuelan TV channel Televen had to drop the famous animated series “The Simpsons,” after National Telecommunications Commission received many complaints from viewers who claimed the show was inappropriate for kids.

“They consider it to be a series that isn’t appropriate for that time because it isn’t appropriate for children,” a spokeswoman for the station, Elba Guillen, declared, quoted by the Associated Press.

The TV regulatory agency did not reveal which elements of the show were offensive, but said that the dysfunctional cartoon family contained “messages that go against the whole education of boys, girls and adolescents.”

It has not been communicated yet, but the channel’s manager might choose another time of the day to broadcast the series, which had been dubbed into Spanish and had a very good rating.

The strange thing is that “The Simpsons” was replaced with “Baywatch,” a TV show loaded with very attractive actors and actresses dressed in very provocative beachwear.

The series, about a group of lifeguards in Los Angeles, were launched in 1989 and it soon became extremely popular all over the world, propelling the career of actors such as David Hasselhoff, Yasmine Bleeth, Carmen Electra, and the famous former Playboy model Pamela Anderson.

Surprisingly, it appears that viewers did not object to the new show that replaced “The Simpsons,” as General Manager German Perez Nahim said in a Venezuelan newspaper on Friday.

"We are hoping it will continue to have a good rating, because 'The Simpsons' worked very well — so much so that it had the highest levels of viewership for that morning timetable in the history of the channel," Perez said, according to the Associated Press.
