Ranker's the Most Controversial TV Episodes of '90s Sitcoms

"The 1990s was something of a golden age for the sitcom genre. Some of the most beloved series of the decade – both live-action and animated – fall into this genre, and they remain a key source of nostalgia for both younger Gen-Xers and millennials.

While many sitcoms of the period tended to be light-hearted and avoided controversy, there were some notable exceptions to this rule. Indeed, just as there were many controversial movies (and movie stars) from this era, there were also a number of sitcom episodes that ignited commentary from across the political spectrum. Many continue to do so to this day."
