I remember seeing The Drunk Driving episode in Tiny Toons. As a kid , at that time, that episode caught me off guard, but the message definitely got through.

Yes, we are going to drink eventually, but we might as well learn about the dangers of it too before it's too late.

I have one that may be a bit obscure for your list but I think it deserves a mention. Decades ago there was a Christian children's game/variety show called Joy Junction... it was kind of like Double Dare mixed with skits and musical numbers... on this show, there was a ventriloquist character that always kinda creeped me out when I watched it (I kinda had to watch it as I ran Master Control for a TV station that aired it as required educational/informational programming). Anyway, Ron William Brown (the actor who played that creepy ventriloquist) is currently in the middle of serving a 30 year prison sentence after being caught with child pornography as a result of Operation Holitna.

[@Justlov4]

I watched all of Dan Schneider's work. Literally my childhood. Now being older I realize how much he fetishized children. Not just him but everyone that worked on it and let it happen. The executives. Parents like Jennette McCurdy's mom who just used her daughter for money. All those shows I enjoyed are now ruined as an adult by terrible people. I just hope everyone who was victim can recover. I can't imagine it is easy for a child to trust again. Especially an adult that is supposed to care and protect but instead used and sexualized them.

[@stanford-nf4jk]

@Justlov4 Did you watch him on the sitcom “Head Of The Class?” His character on that show was a creep too!

[@Jourell1]

Looking back at the 90s, There was also the huge controversy over the Gargoyles episode "Deadly Force". Essentially the younger Gargoyle Broadway accidentally shoots their human cop friend Elisa while carelessly handling her service weapon, having picked it up in fascination because the media (symbolized by the western he goes to see at the beginning of the episode) has shown him "Guns are cool". Ironically the episode was, in fact, a strong message on gun safety but showed unflinching depictions of Elisa lying in a pool of her own blood and being taken into surgery with the doctors making it clear that she may not make it. The creators chose not to hammer in the point at the end with overblown monologues, and let the images speak for themselves. In fact it ended on the Gargs (secretly) visiting her in the hospital. When Broadway fesses up, she not only readily forgives him but also accepts partial responsibility for not being more careful where she left her gun. That was really the overall theme of the episode, not that guns or the people that use them are evil, but that they are dangerous weapons that need to always be treated with respect.

I'm not mad because of that episode of Tiny Toons, some lessons should be delivered to children the direct way.

[@RayvenLunaNite]

Child actors, whether voice or not, deserve protection on set. And while I can admire some cartoons for trying to take on tough topics, there are just some you shouldn't touch if your rating is Y7... But I do support normalizing education of safe love for all.

It would also be nice hearing Steve's correct Kermit voice again. I've been seeing a lot about how things are not working out with Matt Vogel's voice. I really think it’s up to the fans to make things right. I signed a few petitions online to have Steve return to the Muppet Studio. I really think we should help the guy out. He knows how Kermit sounds and how he really acts. He was truly faithful to Jim Henson's most famous character. What do ya say everyone? Shall we start something? Let’s help out. #BringBackSteveWhitmire

The way he kept the camera on Ariana Grande in that scene was really creepy.

[@changejenn14]

I will say some of these are just people upset about dark subject matter, but with the tiny toons, mr Rogers, anything else that was a PSA they aren’t supposed to make you feel good. The whole point of those episodes was to make people think, it allows kids to learn about important things. Why is it bad to drink mommy/daddy’s beer? What is war? They are things that are important for kids to learn. Sometimes it’s scary but war isn’t warm and fuzzy, underage drinking isn’t warm and fuzzy. I think Mr Rogers handled it very well even saying to watch it with someone you trust. Tiny Toons was a bit much but even still it’s still important.

[@JamesDavy2009]

If you call that a bit much, try watching _Animals of Farthing Wood._ It is very dark for a kids show.

[@Thorinox]

The fact the Pokemon episode caused over 700 children to have a seizure, is more then enough of a reason to get rid of the episode, though, they could have changed the lighting and flashing.

[@ForbiddenKry]

Imagine being blamed for an issue someone else caused because the Pokémon that actually caused the issue is the main character’s Pokémon, I missed Porygon in the anime

I've seen censored dance in America. I didn't know that episode was controversial. Also, I'm familiar with the Peer Pressure & Drunk Driving, scary spiders, LGBTQ content, war & conflict, and flashing images causing mass mania. Some of these were banned episodes. I've also seen that iCarly episode when I was little, but in German. I was in Europe. I loved what the girls were doing. I had no idea that one of them had harrowing experiences with someone. By the way, I liked her bangs!

With the Muppets now under the wing of Disney. I grew up watching the old fashioned Muppets from when Jim Henson voiced Kermit the frog. But with the modern day Muppets it has been going a little to far.

[@brianbommarito3376]

You know the world is going bats when they start arguing and ascribing sexual identities and adult themes to cartoon characters in kid’s shows. Each side fiercely argues they are in the right. Meanwhile, on the sidelines, I am laughing at the utter absurdity of both.

Honorable Mention: *John K Disgraced - The Ren and Stimpy Show -There were multiple reasons why John Kricfalusi was fired from Ren and Stimpy. From pushing the envelope with suggestive, adult content to repeated missed deadlines to creating a hostile and toxic work environment. The pulled season 2 episode, Man's Best Friend, was said to be the final straw. Kricfalusi and his team, Spumco, were fired after season 2. But that wasn't the end. He attempted a comeback with the universally despised "Ren and Stimpy Adult Party Cartoon." What's more, in 2018, stories about him grooming former Spumco artists when they were underage resurfaced. By then, his career was effectively over because of this scandal. A Ren and Stimpy reboot is in the works, but due to the controversies and his fall from grace, John K will have no creative input. And honestly, it might be for the best for Nickelodeon to distance themselves from him. Let's just hope that reboot doesn't repeat the same mistake when Craig McCracken wasn't brought back for the 2016 Powerpuff Girls Reboot. I'm glad they're at least bringing him back for the second attempt.

[@devonscott4118]

We don’t talk enough about the fact Ariana Grande also had to deal with Dans abuse! Poor kids. All of them deserved protection! I’m sure he’s paid of police not to investigate him. He’s such a wealthy pedo and runs in the circles that would protect him.

One possibly missed moment is that many pre-school programs reference or get inspiration from actual dead children in some capacity. Examples from Peppa Pig, Teletubbies and Cocomelon are known and in you believe in fan theories this could apply to Paw Patrol. Some unique Australian cases are Play School showing a girl with two moms (2004), Play School using blackface to show native Australians in the 1960's, a 'news program for kids' programs being banned briefly for inaccurate and biased news over Palestine and Israel war coverage (2006).
