It says in an episode guide I read the episode was "cancelled" for being too violent... so was it actually made but never shown? Or never even made? And if it was made is it available to be seen anywhere??

too

It was pulled like 1 or 2 weeks before being aired. It was shown at the 2001 Comic-Con in SoCal the one and only time it's been shown.

Rumor has it it'll be shown this year in a special time slot. But since that would require FOX to give a damn... "Everyone's always in favour of saving Hitler's brain, but when you put it in the body of a great white shark, ohh-ohh-ohh, suddenly you've gone too far!"

True. For FOX to keep something off the air, it must REALLY be something. We're talking "Silent Night, Deadly Night" and "The Night Santa Went Crazy" kind of carnage.

I'm wondering whether BBC2 will show The Simpsons 'Cartridge Family' episode, as it comes up in the next season they're due to show.

I've heard that they're not because they thought it was too controversial. I don't think it's that bad. The episode seems more against guns in the home than anything else. They make fun of anti-gun control lobbyists and the NRA. Charleton Heston refused to guest star. ;-) It's an okay episode for season nine.

ISTM the objection would be on the basis of the soccer riots depicted - nothing to do with guns.
