Why doesn't this episode air? Antenna TV never showed it in their prior ABP run that ended 3/31/21. And in the current circuit which started July 1st, it appears it won't be in the rotation either. I don't recall anything in the episode any more outrageous than any other ABP chapter that would cause it to be skipped or banned.

I emailed Antenna TV and asked them about this episode - the second season's finale. They responded, explaining that this episode was not included in the syndication package that they purchased.

Interesting it wouldn't be cleared for airing when it and Death Of A Saint are a story arc.

I noticed Goodbye Murray isn't on Crackle either. I've seen the episode so I know a print exists. The only thing I can think of is Old Lang Syne is sung at the end (it sounds like CoC and Danielle Brisebois) so maybe there is a music licensing rights issue?

This really is odd. I think you may be on the right track only you have the wrong song. With respect to Auld Lang Syne, the words and music are from the 18th Century so there shouldn't be a music licensing issue, I would assume it's in Public Domain. However, there is a point in the episode where Barney starts singing "So Long For Awhile", the goodbye theme to the old show "Your Hit Parade", and he mentions Snooky Lanson, maybe that's it?

It's interesting that this and Relapse which are missing from Antenna TV and Crackle are available on CTV (geo blocked outside of Canada)
