Due to a controversy over its subject matter, this episode never aired on FOX, Adult Swim and any other channels in North America, it has been broadcast in the UK on BBC Three and has been shown on U.S Netflix. It is also never been shown on Hulu or any other streaming services minus Netflix. The episode has been released on DVD in the U.S however.
While this was not the first show to be nixed from appearing on Fox - the network had previously refused to air "When You Wish Upon A Weinstein" because of concerns about its subject matter being anti-Semitic - to this date, it's the only one that also has never been shown on Cartoon Network's Adult Swim programming block along with other channels like TBS and Cartoon Network. Adult Swim did air "When You Wish Upon A Weinstein" a few years after it was produced and has subsequently shown it with no issues.
Since the episode was never broadcast in the United States, audiences only heard the episode after the cast on together and did a live table read in front of a live audience. Although the episode was later available to view on DVD when that was released later on.
