Any reason why the audio cuts out when Andy states what he thinks is the worst show on TV?

"I think the worst show on TV, .. lets cut out the really terrible ones like According To Jim that nobody watches.. of the popular shows on TV I think the worst one is Fa.....".

I'm guessing Family Guy, but I don't know if thats broadcast on Sunday night in the US. Seems a bid odd to blank that, when he really lays into According To Jim.
