Controversial TV Episodes of Popular Shows That Have Been Totally Banned

"Elephant Issues" - Tiny Toon Adventures

Tiny Toon Adventures was all about the Looney Toons characters, but small! It was supposed to be a family-friendly show, but they fell short with one episode. The episode "Elephant Issues" had a segment called "One Beer." The segment follows a few of the characters who find an unopened beer. They end up getting drunk and stealing a cop car. The message was supposed to be that drinking is "bad" but it was still pulled due to the lack of clarity on the message.
