“Unearthed Secrets: The Controversial Episodes That Could Never Air!”
Today, the episode is now considered to be “lost” as it’s almost impossible to find, even in the DVD box set. Of course, if you’re diligent enough about it, you can probably find it somewhere on the Internet.
“Elephant Issues” – Tiny Toon Adventures
Tiny Toon Adventures was a show that featured younger versions of the original Looney Tunes cast that was family-friendly except for the episode “Elephant Issues” in the segment “One Beer.”
In the segment, a few of the characters find an unopened beer, showing them going on a drunken adventure that includes stealing a cop car and accidentally driving it off a cliff. While the message was supposed to be drinking is bad, the episode was aired just once before it was removed.
“Adopted” – You Can’t Do That In Television
You Can’t Do That On Television was a popular skid comedy show throughout the United States and Canada during the 1980s. While the show received some grief for a series of their sketches, the episode titled “Adoption” went over worse than most.
Understandably, people weren’t comfortable with the show making fun of kids that were adopted. The show was only aired twice in the United States before being banned shortly afterward. However, it kept running in Canada by bleeping out the profanity.
“Buffalo Gals” – Cow And Chicken
Just because a show is a cartoon does not mean that it is suitable for all audiences, which was the case for Cow and Chicken. In the episodes “Buffalo Gals,” it seems like the creators were trying to directly make fun of one specific demographic of women, covering almost every stereotype in the book.
