The episode description for "Satisfaction Guaranteed" notes that this episode sometimes replaced "Witches' Feast" because the latter was too controversial, and sure enough the Netflix DVDs don't include it. I just watched the ep on YouTube, and it's just a silly little skit with a joke about sandwiches. I don't get why the fuss?

I just looked at it: https://youtu.be/AeaRHr-jagw
Maybe it is removed from syndication because it is amateurish and just plain bad-- especially given the high power talent involved (Agnes Moorehead and Ruth Buzzi). What got me when looking at the clip is that Rod Serling looked way older than his age. He was only 46, but I think he looked nearly 10 years older. All that smoking tends to age a person.

Never say never...
I never heard about it being controversial, but that it just didn't work as a segment. Not that it's the only episode of the series that doesn't, but it is way too drawn out for such a second rate gag at the end.
I was going to write a new Sig today, but everything changed when the fire nation attacked.
They were showing it on Me-TV. I had seen the first two seasons on DVD, but I don't remember if "Witches' Feast" was on either disc. I don't recall anything that would be construed as "controversial". At least enough that it would bar rebroadcast.
Annoying the world since 1960!
