Controversial TV Episodes of Popular Shows That Have Been Totally Banned

"Adopted" - You Can't Do That In Television

If you were a kid during the 1980s, then you definitely remember this show! You Can't Do That on Television is a comedy sketch show that was about kids, for kids. Comedy skits tend to walk on the line of what is appropriate and what isn't, but this episode absolutely crossed it. They ended up making fun of children who were adopted in the episode "Adopted." A lot of people weren't comfortable with this message and complained. The episode was pulled after enough people complained. 

"Buffalo Gals" - Cow And Chicken

Cow and Chicken were definitely one of the grossest, most annoying shows out there. It was pretty gnarly, especially for a children's show. In the episode "Buffalo Gals," the creators of the show made fun of gay women by using commonly known (and harmful) stereotypes. The women rode motorcycles, played softball, looked "like dudes" and liked to chew on carpets. It was aired once in 1998 and never seen again. Rightfully so!
