The terrorists have won.

"For the past five seasons, ISIS (International Secret Intelligence Service) has been the name for the underground, non-government approved, New York City-based spy organization at the heart of the show. In light of recent events, however, the creative team behind the Emmy nominated series—creator Adam Reed along with executive producers Matt Thompson and Casey Willis—made a decision to quietly eliminate the acronym from their show."

    Indeed. I have the first season on DVD somewhere. I really must watch it soon and catch up.

    I saw this the other day and I honestly don't blame them. It sucks that they had to change a key element in their show, but with all that is going on it will only be a negative connotation for them and the successful comedy does not need that.

    Good knockoff of a comedic Bond cartoon though. :))

    I guess books about ancient Egypt will have to be rewritten too.

    Ridiculous.

    Hopefully they will get a good joke out of it and not just pretend it never happened.
