Okay, but forget Columbine, all by itself that episode just screams: Network censor, please yank me! Lucky they didn't.
Scene in the bell tower was awsome. Buffy gettin' all psychoanlylitical and such.

They kinda did yank it though. It wasn't aired until the end of the summer, if i remember right, because of the whole columbine thing. I actually never saw that ep until FX started their reruns.

Yeah the network asked ME if they would have a problem with delaying it because of Columbine. According to Marti they totally understood and agreed it should be shown at a later date. So it was shown for the first time during the summer.

While flipping through channels at the house of a friend who didn't have cable, we came across it and decided to watch it because we had heard good things about BUFFY but neither of us had seen it.

I was so impressed I think my jaw fell open. It was then and there that I became a Buffyite. So "Earshot" has a special place for me because it was the first episode I'd ever seen.

But given the content you can understand why the WB didn't want to show this just after Columbine.

Sarah Michelle Gellar was openly disappointed about Earshot getting moved back, specifically because the whole point was to NOT kill everybody at school. I think a few of the writers said the same thing, but ME did agree to the delay without protesting the decision.

Graduation Day part 2 was also delayed because of Columbine sensitivity. ME was pissed about THAT one, because the school violence that happened wasn't the students' faults, plus the students actually worked together for the common good. Joss openly encouraged people to try to get bootlegs from Canada if they wanted to see it sooner.

I had heard about the delay of Graduation Day Part 2. Earshot I can understand but delaying G Day 2 was ridiculous! It's students battling a giant snake for cryin' out loud! Talk about overreacting.

This is a thread i just had to put input into.
The Zeppo is just such a smart episode, it's probably one of the best-written episodes of the series, in my opinion, because of how it deals with the different storylines.

I remember seeing it the first time it aired when i was 11(i am now 16 and a half), and saying to myself what a good episode it was.

IT'S THE REASON WHY MY LIVEJOURNAL IS CALLED "the_zeppo01"(nobody had taken "The Zeppo" at the time, i just decided to add the 01.
I didnt start my LJ until just over a year ago,but the name was planned for a long time, and i kept using it in online game rooms/msn name, etc.

SEASON 4 REFERNCE IN NEXT PARAGRAPH!!
It also doesn't hurt that Xander is one of my fave jossverse characters, because he's just a "normal" guy, not special abilities or anything, but he is an integral part of the scoobies. There is a reason he was "The Heart" in the Season 4 climax.

It has always been one of my fave episodes of television, and it's title has been an ever-going theme in my life, whenever i feel up, down, or anything!
It shows that yes, some people can be referred to as "The expendable" part of a group, but it shows that those people usually do the most important things, even if they may go unnoticed.
All throughout my life since that episode, i have been able to relate with that episode, and especially Xander.

'Tis a good episode.
