Eric Mink writes in his article 'SNL' Kills Cartoon Spoof for Reddit; "Alert viewers will notice something missing from this weekend's "Saturday Night Live," a repeat of a March broadcast hosted by actress Julianne Moore: the "TV Funhouse" animated segment that aired in the original show.The slyly lighthearted piece - titled "Conspiracy Theory Rock" and produced in the style of PBS' "Schoolhouse Rock" kids' show - actually was a sophisticated satire of the increasing concentration of media ownership in a small number of huge multi-national corporations. It included references to Disney/ABC, CBS and NBC and its parent company, General Electric. "SNL" executive producer Lorne Michaels said he decided to pull the segment because "I didn't think it worked comedically."
