“Accidents Will Happen” - Degrassi: The Next Generation
Degrassi was all about life lessons for teenagers. The writers had the characters go through some life-changing experiences that a lot of teenagers have to face. One character, Manny, had to get an abortion. The Canadian networks were fine with airing this, but it took American networks over two years to go through with releasing the episode. In fact, a petition had to be made in order to show this episode to American audiences.
