Controversial TV Episodes of Popular Shows That Have Been Totally Banned

"iRue The Day" - iCarly

This "controversy" was a bit much and mostly seemed like an overreaction from the network heads at Nickelodeon. "iRue the Day" involved a character, Nevel, who blackmails Carly and her friends after hacking into her website. The episode was aired in 2007 but pulled from the network in 2014 due to the Sony hack. The network was afraid that the episode was "glorifying hacking." The episode was quickly put back into syndication.
