SUMMARY
FOX canceled the reality show 'Who's Your Daddy' in the US after airing only one episode. The cancellation was attributed to the show's controversial premise, which involved a homosexual couple moving into a conservative neighborhood and competing for a free house. Despite the initial backlash, the Australian network opted to air the entire series, promoting it with the slogan, "they didn't air it, but we will." This decision highlights the differing approaches to controversial content between networks.

I think common sense should have stood up and protested, what kind of crap are they going to try to put out next?
Actually what am i saying, there was an article thta I read last night on a network canceling this show where a homosexual couple moved into a neighborhood full of conservative families and the other families would decide if the couple deserved this free house some company was offering as a prize for the show. By the 6th episode, supposedly, everyone had come to love them all and they wanted the company to give them the new house but the network decided "oops, this is a stupid idea for a show" before it even aired and canceled it.
I'm reading through that wiki site. I found it funny that the Australian network cut it mid-episode.

Ah well. They're going to air the entire show here, with the slogan 'they didn't air it, but we will'.
