The Banned Episodes Of TV Shows!

Here’s A List Of Banned Episodes Of TV Shows!

• The Amanda Show had an episode which contained a joke about a man exploding on stage in one sketch and a house being crushed by a meteor in another sketch. This episode was banned following the 9/11  attacks.

iCarly:

• "iRue the Day" was temporarily banned from Nickelodeon and TeenNick when Sony was hacked in 2014. The reason for the temporary ban was because a hacking incident was depicted. The episode started rerunning again the following year.

• The Family Channel's run of Punky Brewster left out the episodes "Metamorphosis" (where Punky gets her first training top) and "The Perils of Punky" (likely due to the unexpectedly disturbing content in Punky’s scary story).
• Sesame Street, of all shows, even has its share of these:
• From the show's 33rd season, one episode dealt with Telly receiving a visit from his bully cousin, who essentially swipes all of his triangles away from him; Telly, naturally, wants his triangles back, but fears that it will cause a fight between him and his cousin Izzy – we are even treated to an Imagine Spot where Telly and Izzy do get into a physical scuffle, and we even see both of them lying in hospital beds, all bandaged up and in casts. Kids watching were apparently more entertained by the humorous fight between Telly and Izzy, rather than responding to the episode's actual anti-bullying message, to the point that Sesame Workshop removed the episode, and as such, it didn't appear again on PBS during that year's summer repeats, and the character of Izzy was retired. The episode did appear on the resource video "You Can Ask!", but with the fight scene omitted.
• One episode was banned before it even made it to air: Sometime in the early 1990s, an episode was taped where the subject of divorce was tackled, in a plot where Snuffy and his baby sister Alice now live in a "broken home", since their parents had gotten divorced. Sesame Street often pre-screens episodes with focus groups of children, to make sure they grasp a message or educational concept before the episode is approved for airing. However, the kids in the test audiences were so emotionally distraught over the episode that it never saw the light of day on PBS, and to this day, remains unaired
• The Disney Channel pulled the Shake it Upepisode "Party It Up" from rotation after Demi Lovato complained on Twitter that one of the jokes on that episode (and an episode of So Random) made light of anorexia (Lovato had overcome the eating disorder). "Party It Up" later aired without the anorexia joke while the So Random episode that also had jokes about eating disorders seems to have been indefinitely shelved, though it did later turn up on streaming services.
• The Aqua Teen Hunger Force episode "Shake Like Me" was pulled from HBO Max in the wake of Black Lives Matter protests against police brutality, making the racial humor of the episode seem a little too bad. In September 2020, it was officially banned for good by [adult swim]. However, it remains available on Google Play, and it can also be found on the standalone Volume 6 DVD release
• The Arthur episodes "The Great MacGrady" and "Room to Ride/The Frensky Family Fiasco", got pulled due to the Lance Armstrong doping incident, ironically, Armstrong cameoed on both episodes.
• Fairly OddParents!: "Hail to the Chief/Twistory" These episodes were withdrawn from broadcast on Nickelodeon in the U.S. after their premiere due to violent mockeries of the past US Presidents
• The Jimmy Two-Shoes episode "The Big Drip" never aired in America, because Disney found the content (which centered around Jimmy having a Potty Emergency) "the worst thing ever made”
• The Little Princess episode "I Want to be a Baby" is not available on DVD, even on the so-called complete series boxsets, probably due to the titular Princess's brattiness being taken to the extreme
• The Loud House:
  • A number of episodes such as "Overnight Success" and "L is For Love" were banned in  Greece and Russia for featuring Clyde's adoptive fathers and Luna's crush on another girl respectively. Poland used to air episodes featuring Clyde's dads, but they eventually pulled them as well. Given that both Clyde's parents and Luna's now-girlfriend have gotten main roles in later seasons, it's likely several episodes per season are also withheld in said countries.
  • "One Flu Over the Loud House" stopped airing on TV worldwide due to the theme of sickness mirroring the COVID-19 pandemic. However, the episode is still available for purchase via iTunes and the It Gets Louder DVD set
  
  
  • The Phineas and Ferb episode "Ready for the Bettys" was pulled from reruns between 2009 and 2015 due to legal issues with a real-life band called The Bettys that the writers were unaware of at the time. As a side effect, "Phineas and Ferb Musical Cliptastic Countdown" was pulled due to featuring that episode's song in the #10 spot, and "The Flying Fishmonger" was pulled due to being paired with "Ready for the Bettys".
  • The later episode "New Kids On The Blecch", which aired seven months before the 9/11 attacks, was also temporarily pulled, and later edited to remove a scene involving the destruction of a tower (in this case, it was MAD headquarters).
