Trivia

Behind the Scenes

• Undeniably the most controversial episode of the show, it's content warranted the first viewer discretion advisory in the show's run.

• The episode's infamy was a huge boon to the show's ratings. With that in mind, Morgan and Wong approached Peter Roth - who was in charge at the network at the time - about bringing the Peacock family in for an episode of Millennium, which was lacking in the ratings in the second season. Everything seemed ready to go until lobbyists in Washington for Fox or Newscorp called up to make it perfectly clear: "Those characters never appear on television again!"
