This episode is notable for being the only TV-MA rated episode of the series due to a scene where a woman briefly flips the camera off, being seen uncensored in reruns on FXX and streaming on Simpsons World. However, it retained the original TV-14 DLV rating when streamed on Disney+, digital releases and further reruns on television due to the scene being censored.
