Planet Family Guy says that "Mr. Saturday Knight" was Episode
#3ACX04, and "When You Wish Upon A Weinstein" is #2ACX05,
the latter not having been aired yet. Note about latter: "This episode
was originally banned by Fox, but looks set to be aired now!!!"
Multiple other sources I found also definitely indicate that they are
*not* the same episode. Indeed, "When You Wish Upon A Weinstein"
doesn't make much sense as the title to the episode that featured
the Renaissance Faire, but Mr. Saturday Knight does.

Planet Family Guy should probably remove that comment....as of right now,
Weinstein will most likely never air.

What's keeping Fox from airing it? I hadn't heard anything about it
prior to this thread.

Please tell us why it will never air. What sort of material
was so objectionable to FOX that they couldn't even edit
it out?!

Honestly I don't think it's any more offensive than any other Family Guy
episode, because its heart is in the right place...it's just got a lot of
Archie Bunker type moments w/ Peter. Here's a quick summary - Peter
squanders Lois' rainy day money on a bunk insurance policy...so he ends up
wishing for a Jew after Quagmire and Cleveland's Jewish accountants help
them out w/ their finances (it's a really funny song parody of "When You
Wish Upon A Star") ...conviniently enough, Max Weinstein's car breaks down
outside Peter's house. After helping Peter out and educating him on Judaism
a bit, Peter gets the idea that the only way Chris will be successful is for
him to become Jewish.
Anyway, the controversy lies in some of the "Peter is ignorant"
humor...which is what it is...the show doesn't make fun of jews, in fact,
Peter is quite fond of the jews! I think it's a great episode, and if it
never airs, I hope it makes it on a DVD down the road.

So it's not really any more offensive than the British stereotype ep. from a
few weeks ago? Anyway, how have you seen it already...!

What? You mean... <snort> You couldn't possibly.... You haven't realized
that Sweet Zombie Jesus is simply an encrypted "Seth McFarlane"?

You're not allowed to make fun of Jews. That is a big
no-no on U.S. broadcast television, it seems. Well, it's
okay to portray certain stereotypes, but not others...

Is it so hard to believe that people who live in L.A. and work on shows lurk
and post on usenet!? hehe.

Well, I don't agree.....cuz when it comes down to it, Family Guy really
doesn't make fun of anyone other than the ignorance of fat white guys! heh.

If you've read my other posts, it should be fairly obvious. :)

prejudices, rather than support them. While some may misconstrue FG as
being racially insensitive and prejudiced, it actually has the opposite
message.
However, they have to be careful not to cross the line.
Speaking of lines, I've always thought a great episode segment of Family Guy
would be a carnival, with Patrick Stewart working at a contest saying "The
Line must be drawn here, this far, no farther" in some tossing contest for
where a person should stand. Parody of First Contact, in case you didn't
know...
