D'oh! China has banished Homer Simpson, Pokemon and Mickey Mouse from prime time. The Monkey King and his Chinese pals get the top TV viewing hours to themselves.

Regulators have barred foreign cartoons from TV in the "Golden Hours" of 5 to 8 p.m. beginning Sept. 1 in an effort to protect China's struggling animation studios, news reports said Sunday.
