Fans discuss whether 'The Contest' episode has aired in syndication, with mixed reports of sightings in Canada and uncertainty about whether networks considered it too racy for broadcast.

Maybe since it was such a popular episode, they are waiting to use it on a special occasion. I don't see why FOX would have any objections to masterbatory undertones, they did give us Married With Children after all.
was >'too dicey' for syndicated consumption?
Actually, it has run in syndication! At least it has in New Brunswick, Canada! I'm not quite sure of the date. All I remember is sitting there, watching the episode, and telling everyone who was watching it with me (for the first time) what was going to happen.
Most of these people now hate me for that....but that's how I remember. It ran in syndication either on MITV or CTV. I'm not sure!

I surely haven't seen it and am waiting, and waiting, to DO so! I've heard so many rumors about it being "too racy", etc. But, none of that can even hold water after seeing The Mango again. Wow! I love it, but if NBC thought (and all the affiliates who are showing the syndicated episodes) that THAT episode (with all it's talk about orgasms, etc.) was okay, but they DON'T show The Contest--something is REALLY fishy.
Up here in Toronto they've already shown it at least twice! (Twice on fox and twice on City TV). Maybe you just missed it or something?

I saw over Christmas break at home, it was on twice on separate channels on CITY (Toronto)and the Buffalo FOX station. I hadn't seen it before and man was it funny.
