This episode almost got barred from being shown due to three then-controversial sketches that the censors didn't want Jean Doumanian to do: one about a family who take in a heroin addict (played by Charles Rocket), a Valley Girl Vickie sketch where Vickie takes her friend to a Planned Parenthood clinic and keeps harassing the receptionist about abortions, and a short film where NBC executives search all over America for a virgin female to be SNL's newest castmember. In the end, only the "Housing a Junkie" sketch and the "Valley Girl Vickie at Planned Parenthood" sketch actually aired. The "Virgin Search" short film would later be seen on the Christmas episode hosted by David Carradine.
