Episode Notes
Chalkboard: None
Couch: The living room is on an "America Onlink" computer screen. An unseen user tries to download the family members, but the download takes too long and shows no signs of progress. After a few seconds, the user tries to click the exit button on the screen. Nothing happens.
According to the DVD commentary, this episode was almost banned due to its (then) controversial content about homophobia and tolerance for gay people. It wasn't until a new FOX executive producer was brought in that the episode could air (provided that a few content changes be done to appease the censors).
