A couple returns to their honeymoon hotel only discover to their dismay that
they’re featured in the in-room porn film. This
story about being secretly videotaped is a bona fide urban legend,
and all the facts related about it on page 151 are accurate. A variation of it even
featured in an episode of
Married…with Children, in which the Bundys go
to a seedy motel and encounter a sex video featuring their neighbors
(“
I’ll See You in Court,” Season 3, Episode 10). Because of the sexual
nature of the episode, Fox censors would not allow the episode to be aired
in the United States until 2002…some thirteen years after it was
originally scheduled to be broadcast.

| The urban legend of the secretly videotaped honeymooners was the basis of the infamous "lost episode" of Fox networks' Married With Children. "I'll See You in Court" remained unaired for thirteen years, but is now considered one of the series' best (and most outrageous) episodes. |
