Michael Jackson Episode

When MJ died that Thursday, the following Monday's (June 29) episode was supposed to be about a black guy imitating MJ while getting his car repoed. (I know this because of the previous Monday's previews) However, they did NOT show that episode. They showed a re-run, while the tv guide on cable stated that the episode was supposed to be BRAND NEW. This led me to believe that maybe they decided against showing the MJ impersonator crying over a repo, because, as most of you think, the show is fraud and everything is scripted. Out of respect for MJ, the episode was not aired. Now if this stuff was real, it would have been shown. For the longest time I thought it was real. Then, I read where it's re-enactments, but after the MJ episode didn't get aired, I believe now that ALL of it is fake.

I also like how Matt was fired at the end of last season, but then conveniently shows up where the repo team was doing a repo, and ends up helping the team take down some idiot with guns or something. Miraculous, Matt got his job back. Coincidence? Of course not.

I think they will show it one day. I wonder if one of them made a rude comment about him or something? That could be why it was canned for now.

They just showed it. It was really kind of sad, the guy was mental and stuck in the 80's his parents said.

Or at least it would be sad if the show were real and the guy was not just an actor pretending to be a guy stuck in the 80's.

Wouldn't be the first time that a tv show delayed an episode due to it being a tasteless choice toe air it at the time. Buffy the Vampire Slayer delayed an episode where a boy brought a gun to school, the had to delay it because it was set to air the Monday after the Columbine shooting. I think they also went back and reshot the ending.
