Banned episodes (http://screenrant.com/banned-episodes-kids-shows-cartoons/) are nothing new to the history of television broadcasting. Either based on the controversial subject matter presented in the show or the influence of current events, some television episodes are just deemed too risqué for the viewing audience and must be removed. However, there are some shows that were able to make it to the first time broadcast only to never been seen on the network again.

In this article, we will explore a few different banned episode scenarios. Some episodes were only shown once on the original network and never seen again. Others, however, were banned from the original network but were re-aired on other stations with no issues. There were even instances when the episode was re-aired after heavy editing. Therefore, the original broadcast version was only seen once. We will even throw in a few examples of shows that aired once with no issues, only to be banned and never replayed years later.

Now that we all understand the rules, here is a list of the 15 TV Episodes That Only Ever Aired Once.

They left out Pokémon Episode 38 Denno Senshi Porygon. When it first aired in Japan, it caused lots of people to have seizures because of a scene with fast flashing red and blue lights, so it was banned after that and was never seen again. Th English version never aired.

The Puerto Rican Day parade is today and it's way worse than any Seinfeld episode could have made it. They are 'honoring' a notorious terrorist that headed an organization responsible for over 100 bombings in the US. He was in jail for almost 40 years until the sometime terrorist loving obama let him out of jail on his last day in office. All the major sponsors and most politicians have dropped out, even Univision. The only ones left are the pure America hating Bill DeBlasio and the even more despicable Puerto Rican City Council president, who is the one behind the scheme and is letting the convicted terrorist stay at her home.

Disney was mentioned in relation with Boy Meets World. They have stopped playing several episodes of The Suite Life of Zack and Cody for varying reasons, some known, some unknown. Someone complains, episode pulled, seems to be Disney's policy.

An Episode of The Joey Bishop Show was reportedly destroyed--it featured a guy who did imitations of JFK, Vaughn Meader, and it was recorded just before JFK's assassination.

I do own South Park Season 14 for "200" and "201".

Kyle's, Santa's, and Jesus' monologue got bleeped on the DVD as well...

So I hear and see Christianity jokes on several shows including South Park. I wonder why there was a problem with portraying Muhammad? The TV tells me there should have been no reason to fear doing that and the TV is always telling us the truth.

I wonder why they never aired it later on. I could see if it was some very insulting material but imitations? Actually I never heard Vaughn talk and it would be interesting to hear his take on Kennedy.
