Some TV shows has banned Episodes, today I watched one on YouTube, and at first I couldn't see why it was banned, but then when we got to the abuse your spouse moment of the show, then I start to see why. It was pretty graphic for a show targeted to teens and kids. For those who are wondering, its "Boy Meets World: If You Can't Be With the One You Love". So, who else have seen banned episodes and why was it banned?

Family Guy's "When You Wish Upon A Weinstein" comes to mind. FOX refused to air the episode because they thought it was anti-Semitic. Those who understand anything about satire know that Peter Griffin is not an anti-Semite; he's just stupid. Fortunately, [adult swim] aired it, and it appeared in two different family Guy DVDs.

Yea, but FOX did eventually air that one.

Was that the episode where Peter desperately needed an accountant so went searching for a Jew?

I saw the South Park episode that got pulled cos it pissed off Tom 'Batshit' Cruise and the Scientologist lawyer patrol. The site hosting it took it down though.:(
Yep.
Was a great episode. :D
Only thing I can think of that came close to being "banned" was that after 9/11 FOX pulled the Simpsons New York episode for a few years. Shame, was one of the best ones they ever made.

Did they finally end up banning it? If so, it was only after the fact as I saw it several times on tv.
