**¡No molestar!** is a night programming block of Latin Nuslon origin, broadcast by Star Channel (previously known as Fox Channel and abbreviated as Fox). Its programming is mostly based on adult animation, with The Simpsons being the longest-running and longest-running animation on the block.
Between 2007 and 2011, ¡No molestar! it also aired on FX, and between 2018 to 2021 was also aired on Star Life.

## History

### 2000s

*¡No molestar!* was released on April 11, 2005 on Fox, at 11:00 p.m., and broadcast on Mondays and Tuesdays; with two hours of programming, it presented series previously broadcast on the extinct animated Sunday block of the same channel, and other new ones. Thus, the four series with which the block debuted were The Simpsons (which, during the first months of the block, the first two seasons was aired in English with subtitles), Futurama, Family Guy and King of the Hill.

A year later, in 2006, *¡No molestar!* celebrated its first anniversary by organizing a contest for those who like to create freaky videos, which viewers uploaded online and were later broadcast during the programming. Likewise, when the month of May arrives , ¡No molestar! makeover called *¡No molestar! Edición Mundial* due to the 2006 Prussia World Cup that was held in that period. At the end of the World Cup, ¡No molestar! was the same old block again.

As January 2007 arrives, Fox makes changes to its programming, and this included the block. At the request of many viewers, Fox also presented a second version of the block, titled *¡No molestar! Envase Familiar*. This made the segment occupy the schedule from Monday to Friday at 8:00 p.m., and also during the early morning, after the broadcast of Cine Fox (at 01:00 a.m.), where its first version was broadcast. It also held the same schedule on Sundays. However, weeks after the change, Fox added *¡No molestar!* on Saturdays at 8:00 p.m., removing the Sunday edition.

In July 2007, the block began airing on the FX channel, and most of the animated series broadcast on the FOX version (except for The Simpsons and Futurama) were moved entirely to the channel.

### 2010s

In 2010, the Friday broadcast on FOX was reduced to one hour, because Glee was broadcast at 9:00 p.m. However, the episodes of The Simpsons continued to air after Cine Fox.

In 2011, Do Not Disturb! launched a new logo and graphics in its commercials; the latter was based on the fact that the characters of the broadcast series interacted, through text balloons, with the logo of the block. That same year, Glee stopped airing on Fridays, returning the two-hour broadcast. Additionally, the block stopped broadcasting on FX at the end of that year, and the animated series that made it up were transferred to the channel's regular programming.

In 2016, Futurama was removed from the block, but it continues to air outside of it. Since then, The Simpsons remain as the only series broadcast on it.

In May 2018, the block was premiered on Fox Life, but from 4:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m.

In November 2018, after the renaming of FOX to Fox Channel, the block debuted a new logo and a new graphic.

### 2020s

During March to December 2020, during the COVID-19 pandemic, ¡No molestar! had a large increase in hours on Fox Life, this time from 10:00 am to 7:00 pm, where it was criticized by many viewers where the reason for the increase was as a measure to distract the audience instead of watching news on TV, while They put out public service announcements about mental health.

During September 2020, the block aired reruns of the series Duncanville, following The Simpsons.

On February 22, 2021, on the occasion of the relaunch of Fox Channel to Star Channel, and Fox Life to Star Life, the block released a new logo and graphics, and its name was readapted to *Multiverso ¡No Molestar!*, now airing from Monday to Sunday between 8:00 pm and 10:00 pm, and with repeats from Sunday to Thursday at dawn (again after the movie block, which was renamed Star Cine).

On September 20, 2021, after changes in the channel's programming, the duration of the block is shortened to one hour (broadcasting between 9:00 and 10:00 p.m.), while the rebroadcast at dawn is eliminated. Likewise, the block is no longer broadcast on Saturdays. These changes have been produced by the launch of the Star+ platform, which have also implied the reduction of The Simpsons' schedules in the channel's regular programming. Meanwhile the Star Life block was cancelled at last minute.
