Ranker's the Most Controversial TV Episodes of the 1990s

"From satirical social jabs to explicit thematic elements, the 1990s television scene was no stranger to controversy. As boundaries were pushed and the envelope of acceptability perpetually tested, some of the decade's most popular shows found themselves at the center of heated debate. This list aims to revisit those episodes, from sitcoms to cartoons and late-night shows, that stirred the pot, tackling hot-button issues of their time or challenging the conventional norms."
