I wasn't allowed to watch:

Salute Your Shorts
The Simpsons
Beaves and Butthead
Rocko's Modern Life
South Park
Ren & Stimpy

But then with my mother not around, I would sneak watching Salute Your Shorts, Rocko's Modern Life, and then I did that with South Park and then I was afraid of my mother finding out because I didn't want to be fined every time because she told me it be 20 bucks and it would double every time.

My mom thought those were stupid shows and The Simpsons because she saw one episode where women were treated like objects so she decided it wasn't a good show for kids to watch and South Park is very violent.

I Spy starring Bill Cosby and Robert Culp.

I was so disappointed to see it in reruns as an adult, only to find it's a kid's show!

Basically, when I was a kid, my parents (and other family members) did not want me to watch porn or anything related.

I wasn't allowed to watch TV during the weekdays, so I wasn't really allowed to watch anything unless i finished my homework and asked. then she bought me a TV for my room and i later learned that because she would never come upstairs until she was going to bed, i started watching tv while doing homework.

but only one show was actually banned and it was south park.

My media was monitored off and on.
Nothing specific as far as tv shows, cept that no tv shows, news or commericals, of any kind was the specific and movies only was the order.

One house, we actually had to sneak out to a shed to watch someone elses movies in their vacant apartment-because it was a no tv house. Only the owners got to watch in their bedroom.

I don't remember anybody forbidding me to watch anything, but some shows were on too late in the evening for me to stay up when I was younger. I watched them all when I was older and, for the most part, have become sick and tired of them.

Buffy and any soaps.

I think I was allowed to start watching soaps at thirteen or something, and I watched a couple of episodes of eastenders or whatever, decided it was boring and never started again. XD So that was a bit of a useless ban.

And Buffy I would watch when mum wasn't around. >>
