The main controversial episodes are:
-Dope
-Breaking Point
-Growing Pains
-Fear Strikes Back
-Front Page
-The Source
-Let's Party
-I'm Dancing As Fast As I Can
-With A Litte Help From My Friends
-On The Edge
I'm not sure if we consider these next
eps. controversial but it's been said
that these two are somewhat controversial
-Dieting
-Legacy
Plus, even though N@N aired "Growing Pains" and "Let's Party", they are still
considered to be controversial.

Here's list of controversial episodes...

Breaking Point
Fear Strikes Back
Front Page
The Source
I'm Dancing As Fast As I Can
With A Little Help From My Friends
Men For All Seasons
A New Life

None of those were shown on Nick at Nite. With the exception of The Source and With A Little Help From My Friends which was just recently shown on tvland during the FOL Marathon.

To the best of my knowledge, there are 2 more "controversial" eps that were never shown on N@N: Wedding Day and Post-Christmas card.

There is one more ep that I don't remember seeing on N@N (although I do remember seeing on NBC): A New Life. which really isn't controversial at all.

Okay, first of all, how are "Men For All
Seasons" and "A New LIfe" controversial?
How is being pregnant controversial? How
is having a calendar filled with half
naked men, which by the way we don't even
see, controversial? If the audience does
not see the pictures, it shouldn't be
considered controversial.

Next, how would "Wedding Day" and "Post
Christmas Card" be considered controversial? There's nothing wrong with
those two episodes. That's my opinion at
least.

They are controversial because they havent been shown. Though I dont think Post Christmas Card is controversial ... they just never got around to showing it because they didnt show it during the Christmas Marathons and they didnt show it during the one run of season eight.

I don't know about the other eps, but that was my point- "A New Life" is not controversial. I cannot help you with the other eps since I've never seen them.

I wouldnt believe so considering it was the most aired FOL episode on Nick at Nite. At least that is what someone said back in May.
