The first episode of Osomatsu-san has been banned for copyright reasons, as many of the parodies shown in the episode infringe on other manga.It can't be aired in a standard time slot without cuts. Even if a network had been willing to air it, the last episode of Excel♡Saga deliberately runs too long.The odd thing is that the creators wanted the episode to be so raunchy that it would get banned.
BANNED FAMILY GUY EPISODES SERIES
Back when Excel♡Saga first aired in Japan, the censors pulled the 26th and final episode of the series due to its offensive content (pedophilia, excessive bloodshed, and frontal nudity).The episodes are still available as part of the season DVD set and on streaming services. They involve Ken and several other local children being abducted and Ken's teammates (most of whom are between the ages of eight and eleven) chasing the villains' truck overnight to rescue them. Episodes 44, 45, and 46 were removed from the rotation of Digimon Adventure 02 once the show came under the jurisdiction of Jetix.Both episodes were eventually reinstated in the show's lineup after several years, when the network decided that sufficient time had passed following the disasters that it would no longer be seen as disrespectful to show them. It also stopped rerunning Wild Horses following the destruction of the Space Shuttle Columbia, as that episode featured the Columbia being brought out for one last mission. Cartoon Network stopped rerunning the Cowboy Bebop episode Cowboy Funk after 9/11 due to the plot being about a terrorist who destroyed tall buildings.Has nothing to do with Band Episode, which are about bands. If an episode is banned from broadcast, but still made available on home media, it's Too Hot for TV. If an episode is rerun with parts cut (whether for content reasons or not), then it's Edited for Syndication.
If an episode is pulled from certain markets while remaining available elsewhere, it's a case of Banned in China or (if it's for non-censorship reasons) No Export for You. However, it may be reinstated once enough time has passed (or, if the ban is still in place, then the episode will most likely be readily available elsewhere).ĭepending on the popularity or cult following of the series, often these episodes still get some mileage, through tape tradings, or various posting on Internet video sharing sites such as YouTube. If an episode's content is felt to be too reminiscent of a current or recent Real Life event (it being a terrorist attack, global pandemic, etc.), that episode is likely to be withdrawn out of respect.

1999 newspaper advert for the re-airing of The X-Files episode " Home"Įvery once in a while, a series will have an episode that eventually draws in some kind of controversy, for whatever reason - be it offensive to certain viewers, too risqué for broadcast (or after viewer complaints), a result of Executive Meddling (this also includes if the episode or entire TV show becomes part of a lawsuit), or because a certain actor in the episode is suddenly part of a major legal controversy (up to and including getting in trouble for sexual misconduct) - and as a result, those episodes are pulled from the air, and very rarely, if ever, are seen in reruns, or syndication, ever again.ĭistancing from current events is another reason why episodes may be removed from the schedules.
