Did Chavez have it taken off the air briefly?

Yes. Apparently he considered it evil. I reckon he just wanted more space for his six hour weekend program where he rambles on about how great life is under his rule.

I am not one of those people who believes that God is involved in politics. On the contrary. Observe politics in this country. Observe politics around the world. Observe politics through history. Does it look like God's involved?

In the world it is called Tolerance, but in hell it is called Despair, the sin that believes in nothing, cares for nothing, seeks to know nothing, interferes with nothing, enjoys nothing, hates nothing, finds purpose in nothing, lives for nothing, and remains alive because there is nothing for which it will die.

From what I've gathered from CNN and a couple of other articles, it was a combination of pressure from viewers and governmental action. 

There's also still no word yet on whether or not the government's going to punish Televen in some way, and it's been suggested that they might have to pay a fine of some amount.

The bad thing is that all the word I've heard about the show's demise comes from a midia that's a hundred per cent untrustworthy. Some dumped crap all over the government, talking about censorship, making obvious links to RCTV and all; others have said the government merely intended to move the show to a more appropriate slot, since it's not a show for children. The cynical bastard in me says that considering the show is not for children is such a wise and smart move that it doesn't belong to a government. But the other cynical bastards are more willing to add non-existing details to the story than I am willing to consider them, so in short, I don't know...

"While you are away
My heart comes undone
Slowly unravels
In a ball of yarn
The devil collects it
With a grin
Our love
In a ball of yarn
He'll never return it
So when you come back
We'll have to make new love"
