Controversial TV Episodes of Popular Shows That Have Been Totally Banned

"Mister Skinnylegs" - Peppa Pig

Yes, Peppa Pig has a canceled episode! The children's cartoon got some backlash thanks to the episode "Mister Skinnylegs." This episode tried to show kids that spiders aren't bad creatures, nor are they scary. This may be the case for most kids, but not in Australia. The country has some gnarly spiders that should not be messed with, and Aussie parents felt that the show played down the severity of spiders. The Australian Broadcasting Corporation banned the episode.
