@johnnycheck99 Because some dummy back in 1970 decided to copy what he or she saw and died as a result of hanging and to this day almost 42 years later, this episode still has not been made available to fans of Hawaii Five O in syndication or through DVD.
@beraquesso Little-known tidbit of info: part of the controversy is that that was the cover story, and the true story is that because the Hare Krishnas were mentioned and shown in a bad light (in the eyes of the Krishas), they threatened to sue CBS for millions; part of the out of court settlement was the promise this episode would never be rebroadcast.
I'm sorry, I just don't see the reason for the censorship. It just doesn't seem to be bad. Although, in the late 60's, plenty of things were censored.
Why was it the 'banned' episode???

JTZissman 4 months ago in playlist Hawaii 5-0 "bored, she hung herself"
@JTZissman It was only banned because a viewer had died from trying the same technique in the episode

i think they did right by not airing again because of some kids would experiment.

it's so eerie when they cut to when she's just hanging there

after having viewed this i can see how some impressionable kids or even adults might think to try this(in 1970) but today i don't think so
