Peace A

A season 3 episode of the Married... With Children sitcom series was banned in 2002 for being too racy. The episode was originally billed to premiere on Fox in 1989 but not aired until four years later and, even then, faced some scrutiny despite being available in other countries. The controversial episode “I’ll See You In Court” was intended to air a month after the criticized “Her Cups Runneth Over” but was canceled due to the pushback on the initial release. Interestingly, the episode is now available for viewing on Hulu and other media after over two decades. Why was it considered controversial?

The Bundys tried to spice up their sex life by getting down at the Hop-On-Inn motel, where Marcy and Steve had their session on tape.

The men resort to violence with the owner, while the ladies choose a legal battle instead. Unfortunately, Al is embarrassed by his performance when the tape is shown in court, while the Rhoads get $10,000 in settlement.

That part of the show involved a lot of boob jokes that offended many people, especially Terry Rakolta, a Michigan housewife and “family values” activist. Terry led a letter-writing campaign to show sponsors in a bid to defund them.

However, Terry’s pushback made the news and drew more attention to the show—so much so that the rating spiked and increased Fox Network’s popularity. Regardless of the unexpected success, the network did not risk releasing “I’ll See You In Court” due to the reactions episode 3 received.
