Someone sent me this. That scene in the opening title sequence where Blanche had her hand in her shirt sleeve was a cut scene from the episode “The Break In.” Here are the script pages for the missing scene. I guess maybe they were afraid of pissing off Iranians.
I could swear I saw that scene when it first aired.

Nice find.
I noticed a lot of cut jokes from the syndication run after they came out on DVD 20 years ago.
I’d guess it was cut because they specifically named Iran. Remember when they went on the Caribbean vacation in season 2? They didn’t name the island because it was supposed to be a corrupt dump.

I’ll name that island.

I still can’t believe they removed the episode where they’re wearing mud backs because it looks like blackface. 🙄

Isn’t that ridiculous, R4? It’s a “Three’s Company”-level misunderstanding moment and somehow it’s bad.

Coco was in the pilot way more than what aired apparently. There must be a lot of footage out there. I wonder if it’s lost.

I always thought the missing hand thing was from the Puccini opera Gianni Schicci. You know the Florentine punishment for forging wills, cutting off the hand…

I thought they were discussing uncut dicks. At least that's how I remember it.
