There have been TONS of Challenger jokes made after it blew up. How many of them were featured on Primetime Network TV?
People make cartoons with LOTS worse that a joke about the space shuttle.
(It is weird, ABC would allow them to draw a space shuttle blow up for a joke, but not let them draw Dustin Hoffman's face for the Outbreak episode, Guess ABC didn't care about dead people, they don't sue)

: : They didn't really "get away" with it, since it didn't air. I wonder if there would have been any problems if that episode did air on "The Network"
: Shor they did. They made a cartoon with a challenger joke. Derrerrerrerrerr....
