Before FOGNL installed the Joozian Super Static Remover, the signals of the shows pirated from other planets tended to become garbled. The Vogons are a greedy race, very focused on money to the exclusion of all else. For the past 45 years, they have believed that My Three Sons was a show about three little con men. They really like that idea. The Joozian execs at FOGNL aren't about to enlighten them otherwise.

To this day, My Three Sons merchandise is big on the Vogon home world. Which, incidentally, was once the home world of a race called the Zurgs. The Vogons, needing a new home after strip-mining theirs to unliveability, tricked the Zurgs, a race of robots who require AA batteries to operate, to coming to a "Power Party" where everyone who attended would be given a year's supply of AA batteries. When the Zurgs arrived on the "Party Asteroid" the Vogons trapped them in a power draining grid. Only the Zurg Emperor escaped because he was too busy primping to be on time to the party.
No wonder the Vogons like TV shows about con artists. They are the biggest con artists in the galaxy!
