These banned kids show episodes went to some pretty weird, intense places

In the classic “Homer Goes To College” episode of the The Simpsons, Krusty The Clown airs an “Itchy & Scratchy” cartoon even he knows is beyond the pale, then excitedly declares, “Wow! They’ll never let us show that again! Not in a million years!” A new Screen Rant video called “10 Banned Kids Show Episodes You Won’t Believe” is devoted to collecting real life examples of just such episodes, all of which come from well-known, much-beloved series intended for young audiences. And all of the infamous installments in this list aired at least once, coast to coast, before being quietly (or noisily) deleted from the rotation, thereby giving them them ample opportunity to warp impressionable minds and potentially ruin childhoods. The kids who grew up with these programs may never know the horrors of the battlefield, but they’ll be having TaleSpin nightmares until they’re 90.
