* The ''DrawnTogether'' episode "Terms of Endearment" was going to air in November 2004, but it was pulled due to a scene satirizing the horse-riding accident that paralyzed Christopher Reeve, who died shortly before the show premiered. The show was rescheduled for January 2006, but was almost pulled ''again'' when Reeves' widow announced she had a terminal illness, though ended up airing as planned. Strangely, Comedy Central reran the episode the week she died.
