Has anyone found a list of television episodes that have been banned from streamers for being "offensive? For example, one episode of Community is not available on streamers because it features a character dressed up as a dark elf, and it's considered racist somehow.

One episode of Back to You (Patricia Heaton/Kelsey Grammar sitcom from around 2007) has a joke edited out near the beginning of one episode. It was only on the first airing on Fox. This is probably not a streamed show but it was edited on the DVD.

The Joey Bishop Show has a lost episode that was supposedly destroyed and never aired, and therefore is not on DVD. It was to air near the time when JFK was assassinated, and has JFK imitations by Vaughn Meader.

Also I don't know if Flipping Vegas is streamed, but I have collected all the episodes except one, called "Redneck House," which was evidently banned by A&E. I want it!

I can understand the networks would not re air anything with Vaughn so soon after the assassination but now almost 57 later, I'd be interested in hearing Vaugns tv imitations. I never did understand what was so bad. Did he make fun of JFK??
