So I saw that they've quit rerunning the Seinfeld episode where George's fiance dies from licking an envelope because of the Anthrax scare....has "The City of New York vs Homer Simpson" been pulled as well ?
They ran that one on Sept. 7th here. Creepy.

No, apparantly the showed it a few weeks later (in Washington I think).
Unless I just made that last part up, I'm telling the truth.
Anyone else suffering from deja vu?

Yeah...I sense deja vu.. The New York episode is a very common topic on this newgroup...that as well as racism.

I've seen it twice in syndication since 9/11. Also, on previous threads, many people have said that it showed in their area. I do not think it (or the Boy Bands episode where several NYC buildings are blown apart by rockets) have been removed from the airways.

Ok, guys...here you go, straight from the LISA:
"Will The City of New York Vs. Homer Simpson ever be shown again in reruns?
For those unfamiliar with this episode, there are scenes that prominently feature the World Trade Center buildings.
FOX has notified all of its syndicated carriers of the show about the episode and has left it up to the discretion of the individual stations. An overwhelming majority of them have pulled the episode indefinitely and shown other reruns in its place, though it is not known how long this will last.
In addition, Mike Reiss recommended in a recent speech that the episode New Kids on the Blecch from Season Twelve also be pulled from reruns because of a scene involving a hijacked Navy submarine that rams into a building. This may be sensitive to those affected by the U.S.S. Cole incident, in which the same terrorist groups are suspected. "
Does anyone bother to read FAQs anymore??

By they way, for those who don't know, the url for the LISA is: http://www.snpp.com/guides/lisa.html
Also a link to it is included in the mini-faq which is posted WEEKLY. Look for it sitting on a news server near you.
