TV episodes dropped after US shootings
Episodes of US comedy series Family Guy and American Dad were dropped on Sunday in the wake of Friday’s shootings in a Connecticut school, which left 26 dead.
Fox TV instead showed repeats of the shows to avoid broadcasting any potentially sensitive content.
The billed Family Guy episode had featured a retelling of the nativity while in American Dad, a demon punished naughty children at Christmas.
Meanwhile, director Quentin Tarantino has defended violence in movies.
Tarantino’s latest film, spaghetti western Django Unchained, features graphic violence, including buckets of blood exploding from characters as they are shot.
Quentin Tarantino Quentin Tarantino’s credits include True Romance, Reservoir Dogs and Inglourious Basterds
He said at a press junket in New York for the film on Saturday that he was tired of defending his films each time the US is shocked by gun violence.
“I just think you know there’s violence in the world, tragedies happen, blame the playmakers,” he said, adding: “It’s a western. Give me a break.”
Django Unchained is nominated for five Golden Globes at next year’s awards.
The Oscar-nominated director, whose work includes Inglourious Basterds and the Palme d’Or winning Pulp Fiction, said blame for violence should fall on those guilty of the crimes.
