Sons of Fox: Guess what's the Secret Ingredient in the police officers' chili this week?

FALL TV DEAD POOL: Furious 'Sons of Anarchy' Creator Tells DirecTV Viewers 'You're Getting Fucked Over'; Reveals Banned Script;

Sutter, whose Sons of Anarchy airs on FX and is in jeopardy of being pulled next week should an agreement not be made, revealed on Monday that he filmed a promo that he says "will air before Tuesday night's episode" of his show. The point, he says, "is to mobilize fans against DirecTV." But Sutter said that he "had to follow an FX legal script that felt like complete bullshit. I'm sure it will serve it's purpose, but I feel compelled to let SOA fans know what I WANTED to say."

Part of the script that Sutter claims he wasn't allowed to use, states, "Starting Nov. 1, DirecTV is pulling FX from your box. That means you'll miss the last five episodes of Sons this season. Perhaps five of the most critical episodes of the series. I know Fox has a horse in this race, but they're trying to negotiate in good faith. DirecTV is shutting down all conversation and using their customers as leverage. In the process, you're getting fucked over. They're running ads with their corporate shill telling you how much 'they care about your business'; that dude's got one sincere hand on his heart while the other greases your unsuspecting backside. Because they're about to flip you over and fuck you up the ass till you bleed. ... Let 'em know they can't fuck with your Sons of Anarchy."

Fox's carriage agreement with DirecTV expired Sept. 30. Fox Networks includes FX, National Geographic Channel, 19 regional sports channels, Fox Movie Channel, Speed, Fuel TV, Fox Soccer and Fox Deportes. Fox broadcast stations and Fox News Channel are not involved in the negotiations.

Kurt Sutter says, 'I picked the wrong day to quit snorting crack'

Fox and its parent company, News Corp., were involved in a dispute with Cablevision last year and Fox channels were blacked out on Dish Network in October 2010 amid a dispute, during which Sutter called Dish "whores" on Twitter.

Kurt Sutter, whose FX drama is in danger of being pulled due to a Fox-DirecTV dispute, also praises network chief John Landgraf: "If it weren't for that guy, I'd be selling star maps and handjobs in front of the Motherlode."

This happens every few years, last time it was FOX vs Cablevision, before that it was ABC vs Cablevision. ABC caved before the Oscars but FOX held out into the World Series. A little known fact, alot of people are dropping their cable services to save money in Obama's America. I dropped HBO because there was nothing worth watching and to save $.

Haven't paid for cable or dish in 3 years. Found hobbies to do with the money. Mostly during the day now I don't even notice I own a television, and don't miss it.

Yeah, no TV (or computer) = more time to live life...like driving or walking in traffic to suck exhaust pipes, or talking on cellphones growing brain tumors.

So far in Season 4, Sons of Anarchy is promoting propaganda for the Obama White House, by failing to show the Mexican cartel working for the US CIA/DEA/ATF in Operation Fast & Furious (Iran-Contra 2.0).

Hopefully Sutter will script Fast & Furious in the final 5 episodes? The US DOJ prosecutor targeting SOA is a real sleazebag getting dozens of bikers and Mexican mafia killing each other so far...just like Fast & Furious in Mexico.

I look at TV and the internets as weapons delivery systems, hi-tek battlefields winning hearts and minds and genociding millions. Either they can be WMD weapons of mass destruction, or WMD weapons of mass deprogramming.

Fox is far from innocent in all this. They sold air rights of Fringe episodes this Fall to DirectTV before airing for free on Hulu. Fringe episodes now air next day on DirectTV and a week later, for free, on Hulu (unless of course you have HuluPlus).

There's no place I can be since I found Serenity.

I have HuluPlus, but Fringe is one of the shows they don't offer. Chuck is another. It's not Hulu or Fox or NBC that is to blame for that, but rather the production company, Warner Bros.

Hence, those are two of the very few shows I watch live these days.
