10 Most Controversial TV Shows Of All Time

8. Married With Children

6a00d8341c630a53ef0167650079a9970b-600wi Married With Children is one of the greatest classics in modern television, it remains as one of the most popular and funny sitcoms in recent years. But it wasn€™t always like this, several episodes had to be censored because of some of the jokes and situations and, at the time, it was the crudest show on the air. Enter Terry Rakolta, a normal housewife with aspirations of greatness and very little sense of humor. In 1989 she led a boycott against the show after the episode €œHer cups Runneth Over€ offended her. She started sending several letters to advertisers and the producers, and in a very surprising twist, she won. That€™s right, a woman who disliked an episode of the show, who appeared in several talk shows and manifestations stating how evil and offensive the show was (you know, the type of person we like to make fun of nowadays) actually won. The episode €œI€™ll see you in court€ had to be canceled from airing and we wouldn€™t see the episode until 2002, 13 years after the original air date, and even then it was a cut version. Sad situation, isn€™t it?
