I don't know. I don't agree with that at all. It was not based on it at all and just because there were some similarities does not mean that they had to take it off the air.
No, I didn't mean the episode was BASED on 9-11 (obviously, anime from 1998), I just meant that there were too many similarities for cartoon network to stomach. I do remember that eps #6 and #8 were quickly put back into the rotation the next time around, but it was at least 2-3 more runs before they put 'Cowboy Funk' back in...
here is a quote from mr. Kyle Pope from ANN:
Quote:This is the last of the three episodes CN has deleted from its run of Cowboy Bebop on Adult Swim. Anyone who has seen the episode can certainly understand why CN might not have wanted to air this one. Essentially you have a comedy involving a terrorist destroying skyscrapers. Nonetheless most fans of CB rate this as one of the top episodes and it's a tragedy that it didn't get aired. If there was ever a reason to rent or buy CB on DVD or VHS, this episode is a prime example.
