10 Banned TV Shows That Shocked The World

1. Doc Subjects Practised Poor Corpse Preservation - Good Grief

While this Lifetime-produced docu-series about the day-to-day workings of a Texan family mortuary didn't have an inherently problematic premise, the network buried (sorry) the show after the July 2014 discovery of eight unattended and/or decomposing corpses at the funeral home, leading to the arrest of the owner.

Lifetime surely must've been tempted to lean into the controversy and exploit it for their own promotional gain, but to their surprising credit, they canned the show barely a week after the revelation, literally right on the eve of its intended air date.

Considering the show was fully complete and ready to be broadcast, props to Lifetime for just throwing it in a vault presumably to never see the light of day. That's hardly the sort of restraint you'd expect from a network airing awful TV movies on a weekly basis such as "Bad Stepmother", "Evil Doctor" and "Fiancé Killer."
