Shows you were not allowed to watch as a kid

>>82447551
kek. I'm sorry anon

I wasn't allowed to watch ed, edd, and eddy because my dad thought it was too stupid.

>>82447551
Power Rangers because it was violent I guess.
I can't think of anything else, of the stuff targeted at kids anyway. My parents threw away one of my issues of Nick magazine though because the cover had Melissa Joan Hart dressed as a witch.

>>82447551
>Fairy Odd Parents(apparently too stupid for me to watch)
For your own good my man.

I was banned from watching Fairly Odd Parents for about a month because my parents thought I started talking to myself because of it.

>>82447551
EEnE
KND

The only one I can think of is South Park, which I was forbidden to watch for obvious reasons.

Beavis and Butthead

Parents didn't want me and my brothers running around saying "bunghole" and "fartknocker", etc

>>82447551
That sucks. Sorry, anon

>>82447642
my friend had this problem with Billy and Mandy

My parents didn't give a fuck. Mom would let me watch Beavis & Butt-Head and The Maxx and all that stuff and Dad would record the Spawn series for me because he had HBO at his house.

>>82447642

A friend of mine had folks who outright banned CN after deeming EE&E was "nothing but con men" and Johnny Bravo was "a perv"

My parents didn't care at all. They just didn't want me watching shows with bad words in them until I was in middle school. I think they were pretty unaware of what I was watching too because we had two TVs in the house.

>>82447642
My mom thought the wobbly animation was silly for the show, but that was about it.

My parents didn't care what I watched as long as it didn't have explicit sex. Princess Mononoke was my favorite movie when I was a kid.
There was a kid down the street whose mother wouldn't let him watch Disney.

>>82447872
There's some irony there because while both shows make the protags look admirable in some respect they ultimately always end with them being humbled for their behavior and methods. Both shows also addressed a degree of hypocrisies judging individuals display. It's not advance psych and philosophy or anything but there's honestly a lot to be learned.

>>82447731
Well of course I rebelled.

Being a late 90's to early 2000's kid there was nothing stopping me from watching Pokemon. I think I was most upset about Samurai Jack cause all my friends loved it and there really wasn't anything bad outside that bar scene. All he did was kill robots.

>Pokemon/Digimon/Monster Rancher/Anything that aired on Saturday Morning: Demons and Satan brainwashing

>PPG: too violent/had monsters and demons

>Spongebob: Stupid annoying character/terrible humor

>FOP: Magic and fairies

>Teletubbies: Demons/strange creatures

Having to live with a southern ultra religious grandmother most of the time was pure suffering.

Are there any shows you're GLAD your parents never let you watch?

Pic very much related.

>>82447718
Same. Cause the show sucks dick

>>82447991
And yet, parents were too stupid to get it.

My dad was chill as fuck and didn't care what I watched or did.

My mom on the other hand didn't let me watch Cow & Chicken or Grim Adventures because she thought they were "gross."

>>82448148
Fairly Odd Parents was pretty fucking stupid and cruel. I was allowed to watch Billy and Mandy but looking back it was one of the grossest shows on CN. Dumb characters are fine but Billy crossed the line.

>>82447551
are you mexican? I remember hearing this exact thing from a mexidude, apparently even some priests and the church in general started a crusade against pokemon, digimon, the smurfs, etc.

I wasn't forbidden from watching it, but my mom hated CatDog with a passion.

Billy and Mandy. My parents said I was being mean like the characters. Also got banned from KND because my parents felt it was a little mature

>>82448296
No but my family is Catholic and like 90% of Mexicans are Catholic. My mom wasnt a religious freak but I was an only child for a long time so I think she was just being extra careful.

>>82448327

Wow I thought I was the only one. I would frequently watch Spongebob with my dad (he loved the first few season's humor) but despised CatDog. He let me watch it, but told me to not do it front of him

>>82448328
Another anon posted KND eariler which surprises me. The only thing I can think of that could be viewed as wrong is kids fighting adults/slacker lifestyle.

When the episode "Ripped Pants"came onto SpongeBob I knew a bunch of kids who were banned from watching it.

Ren and Stimpy because of the disgusting close up shots they had in that cartoon. I could not watch Beavis and Butthead because my older sister told my mom that it was meant to be a stoner cartoon.

My mother didn't like Cow and Chicken. She saw Red Guy flaunting his huge naked ass and she forbade me from watching it for awhile.

>>82448092
>Spongebob: Stupid annoying character/terrible humor
The main thing I always heard was that he was gay.

>>82447551
South Park and Family Guy

Billy & Mandy.

Promoted Satanism.

My dad didn't want me watching Spiderman after seeing Mobius

I don't actually remember being banned from anything
I mean, we didn't get CN until like 2004, but we had Nick instead

My dad was very chill about what Icould watch, but he hated them himself and couldn't stand being in the same room if a cartoon was on TV.

The only things he seemed to have a problem with were Ren and Stimpy for obvious reasons, and that one episode of KnD about how kids created adults, he said it seemed more like a cartoon for grown ups.

My mom didn't like me watching DBZ because it was too violent. Both my parents didn't like me watching Shaolin Showdown, probably because it was kinda racist.

>>82448628
Well, Omi is Chinese and is colored yellow.

>tfw parents literally didn't give a fuck about any sorts of rating

I actually have memories of watching films like The Shining or Alien with my mother when I was, what, eight, nine?

>>82448508
Your mother has poor taste in asses.

I don't remember anime being on tv after 2005 (like there were no channels for it.)
Grim Adventures, EE&E, and girly kids movies in general (even though I'm female, my father hated the girly things I would do and raised me watching war propaganda films.

I know this doesn't entirely relate to this thread but my teacher once said that he didn't like shows where the kids are portrayed as smarter than the adults.

>>82448689
wtf is wrong with your dad

>>82448208
My mom would let me watch whatever the fuck I wanted
My dad didn't let me watch South park
granted, I was in 4th grade too at the time.
My dad was always more strict. (Parents split 'cause of this)
I grew up to be a good kid, and my younger brother who resides with my dad, well... yeah I don't know.

Just the Simpsons for some reason. I'm still not sure why the Simpsons in particular, it's really mild as far as adult content goes, especially the early seasons.

I absolutely loved Spider-Man TAS but my mom was hyper up tight about the Symbiotes and Morbus.

The fuck

>>82448711
What's wrong with a Dad wanting to raise a strong, independent woman?

>>82448592

I was big into Marvel as a kid because my dad was a pretty big fan of comics. I loved watching Spiderman and X-Men, and I remember one summer my brother and I had to go stay with my aunt and uncle while my parents went on a second honeymoon after renewing their vows.

My uncle is a great guy, and I stayed with him several times before but he since married a horrible woman who was more of a "media corrupts youths" than religious nut. There was a local pizza place where they lived that was awesome (served awesome food, alcohol, and had an arcade). My brother and I noticed they got an old Avengers in Galactic Storm cabinet, and when my aunt caught wind of us playing they thought we were going to try beating someone up. So we were mostly forbidden from TV the whole summer, which wasn't bad because I read a fair amount other than comics and their neighborhood had a nice-ass country club with a pool and playground. Still, what a bitch. Glad we weren't playing Street Fighter Alpha 2

>>82447551

>Fairy Odd Parents(apparently too stupid for me to watch)

That's fair.

My parents didn't care what I watched. For longest time we couldn't afford cable, but then we got satellite. I remember we use to "steal" satellite subscriptions, back in the day they had these big cards inserted into the machine. My dad was a computer engineer, so he would hack it. We would get every channel for free. Of course the TV was in my parent's bedroom. But I would get home and this was about middle school, turn on the porn channels.

Early 2000s was a weird time. I feel so old now.

>>82448744
Why?

>>82448711
He's like a poser /k/omrade and his father was a crossdresser so that might be where the fear of femininity comes from.

Well

>>82448554
Same thing happened to me. One day she decided to sit down and watch it and saw how stupid it was, so she stopped caring after that.

>>82448254
I don't gagree with your for your reasons, but let me say that I personally think Billy and Mandy sucked as a show. It felt like it was trying too hard to be edgy without actually really being that edgy. Fred, that nacho-cheese guy sucked and he wasn't funny, billy wasn't funny, Grim was just a butt-monkey and Mandy had no real personality besides being afoil to everyone else's shennagigans.

I think it's really over-rated here on /co/ as being one the last great shows on CN before My gym partner and shit started to air.

My parents were very religious but they still let me watch anything in the appropriate age range, and I just never asked for anything even PG13 until I was actually 13 so I don't know what they would have said about that.

They did force me to go to church early sometimes and I'd miss like the second half of the Pokemon episodes, but that was more of a timing thing than a content one.

I knew a few kids who couldn't watch Ed, Edd, n Eddy because the parents thought all the kids on the show were juvenile delinquents

The concept of a symbiote possessing people was too close to demon possession I guess.

>>82449004
Most people just saw it as typical Ayy business.

>>82449004
I always viewed it as everyone having a dark side that they have to battle with.

Some kids couldn't watch Yu-Gi-Oh and/or collect the cards since Dual Monsters = Demons and "Shadow Realm" = Hell to parents.

>>82447551
Sorry mate, that genuinely blows.

Rocky and Bullwinkle and King of the Hill. My dad despised both shows and I still don't know why.

My mom didn't ban me from watching anything but whenever she watched Billy and Mandy with me she'd have mild rants about how inappropriate or stupid it was. "Don't the people who make this show know how impressionable kids are? Why is that boy so dumb? Why is there so much farting?"

I lived with my grandma for half a year at one point, and I hated it. She was pretty damn religious, and was against almost everything i was into.

>Didn't let me watch Batman/Superman: TAS because "Jesus is the only superhero"
>No video games, had to leave them with my dad
>No TV unless it was the weekend
>No Spongebob because it was "too derogatory"
>Would not let me watch Shrek but never elaborated as to why

Good thing I still lived in the same town, because I would go to the park or the woods or the basketball court to play with friends (she didn't care a whole lot as to what i did during the day so long as i was back by 5 PM, earlier during the winter because the sunset earlier). However if it was a rainy day, I was basically fucked unless I had gone to the library prior to get something to read because she would not take me.

>>82449111
>King of the Hill
Was your Dad a cuck or something? Did he hate family and traditional values?

>>82449136
>"Jesus is the only superhero"

Shrek was gross and ugly.

>>82449178
You were looking at static. Who wouldn't think you were retarded?

>>82449141
I don't know why he hated it but he was ok with Family Guy and Futurama.

I guess he is a cuck now because I haven't talk to him since him and my mom divorced and she has since gotten married

>>82447551
Pokémon. It's actually got banned in my country.

>>82449141
Actually for a while I wasn't allowed to watch KotH just coz of the language and my dad knew it was from the creator of Beavis and Butthead. I think when I turned 10, my parents just said fuck it, watch whatever you want.

My parents hated Pokemon, but had no beef with the games.

>>82449235
>Promoting Evolution.
>Promoting Satanism.
>Promoting Japanese propaganda.
It had all those crackpot things against it.

>>82449265

I'm pretty sure I was so obsessed with edgy anime when I got my first PC because I wasn't allowed to watch anything on CN.

>>82447551
My parents let me watch pretty much anything.

>>82449265
Wish my parents were like yours anon

>you can have any GB game here
>except Pokemon
>but youre allowed to borrow Pokemon from friends if you want

Backwards ass logic

>>82449136
After rewatching the first Shrek, Im actually shocked how it was never under any real controversy just because of all the language and adult humor. Antz was kinda understandable because that was intentionally an adult animated film, but Shrek was actually pretty popular with kids.

Pretty much any kids show My older brother had autism and bipolar depressive and was overall really influencable so to deal with him not going bat shit off the rails I had no childhood shows. Though I will say Cyberchase and Between the Lions was the shit back then.

My gf's little brother has watched koth since he was about 4 or 5. It honestly kind of turned him into a little shit, whenever we eat at a restaurant he insists that the burgers were cooked with charcoal and hates it. I don't think the kids has ever eaten anything made with charcoal.

Mom wouldn't let us watch EE&E because catching stupid, but all other cartoons were fine. My father was a nutso christian and went to church one night and then came home and made us get rid of all our pokemon stuff. All of which my Mom bought. His reasoning was that he went to some program at church and they said it was the devil. The proof was a bunch of kids were having pokemon dreams from having tons of pokemon stuff in their room. My mom called him a retard and told him that "if all you bought was stuff about dogs your kids would have dreams/ nightmares about dogs"
she continued to buy us pokemon stuff
Dad saw pokemon on TV once over his house and flipped to it then asked me what it was
"I dunno" and he goes "yeah you do its pokemon"
dunno what the fuck his deal was, but im here now so something obviously went wrong

Simpsons and South Park. I did anyway.

GI Joe. "It promotes war".

no your parents weren't fucking nuts
or you just had no boundaries, you're not special just lucky dude

Godzilla/Power Rangers/Ultraman. Basically if it was live action with giant monsters it was taboo. Cartoons were fine. Even South Park. Anime was acceptable too. Parents wouldn't even bat an eye at Gundam/DBZ. But if the Big G showed up, it was "TURN THAT OFF. RIGHT NOW." It was never really explained why.

>>82449489

Don't look at me, thats just what mom said.

If I had to guess, she probably still thought it was the 70s, pro-war version that was a generic soldier, and had no idea there was an evil terrorist organization or a group to fight it.

Ironically, she was fine with Transformers, despite it being about something called 'The Great War'.

I know for a while that my mom didn't like me watching Courage or EE&E

Tbh, if I was a parent now I would let my kid(s) watch Steven Universe, Clarence, or the new PPG.

Grew up on a farm in the woods. So we couldn't get any of the "fun" channels. The only cartoons I saw until I was ~11 were the ones on public TV (not that they were bad, just without any edge what so ever).
So my parents never really had a problem with anything I watched.

Video games however was a different subject.
Like my mothers reaction when my dad on a whim got me and my younger brother GTA: SA when I was 11.
Imagine the happiness when you FINALLY get to play that one really cool game all your friends have. Only for immediate disappointment when your mom rage out and hides it away.

GREATEST ALLY

The only thing I was not allowed to watch was the the South Park movie.
I remember borrowing the movie from a friend but my parent threw it away when I tried to watch it, that's the only time ever I was not allowed to watch something. I was allowed to watch all kind of stuff like 18+ movies, and such but it's probably kind of understandable why my parents had something against South Park.

>>82449703
You couldnt go anywhere without Cold War shit being shoved down people's throats. Besides, fuck commies.

>>82449660
Totally Spies is a complete fetish show.

South Park and Harry Potter were the only things my grandmother wouldn't let me watch

I dont really care for South Park if I'm being honest. The Harry Potter thing was for her stupid religious regions.

I had a girlfriend in high school who turned out to be almost as batshit as the Westboro guys. It started out ok. Thought she was a decent Christian (yes, they exist). But she tried getting me away from things like Supernatural, Harry Potter, Pokemon, Digimon, even things like Toy Story, Iron Giant, and The Brave Little Toaster because "They starred possessed inanimate object."

Dropped her quicker than a bad habit.

>>82449759
the movie was way more vulgar than anything on the actual show at that point in time.

My mom wouldn't let me watch Total Drama cause she thought it was too grown up
I was 13

Damn, the only show my mom didn't let me watch as a child was South Park. Other than that, my older brother and I watched any damn cartoon we pleased growing up. Even when my grandma would pick us up from school and take us to her house, she would let us watch Toonami and tried to follow along with "the Pikachu show".

I don't think my family really paid attention to the shows we were watching; it was always CN, Nick and Disney in the middle of the weekday or weekend morning, so how bad could the shows really be?

My mom wouldn't let me watch adventure time when it first aired.

>>82449877
Nigga how old are you. Adventure time first aired in 2010.

>>82447551
I wasn't allowed to watch Power Rangers as a kid, but it was kinda dumb anyway so I didn't really care much.
My mom had a huge thing again videogames though. When I first played Goldeneye she demanded I take it back because she didn't like that I was shooting at real people. Luckily though, I had always been a very persuasive person, and argued back that it was rated T and I had turned thirteen recently, and that I payed for it with my own money. She conceded, but was pretty unhappy about it. I still wasn't allowed to play M games for quite a long time after that, but the distinguishing factors between most T and M games are so arbitrary that even when I would play one right in front of her she never noticed.

>>82449921
This site is full of kids, it's expected.

Mom was fine with Power Rangers, but she always questioned why I would want to watch "something so stupid".

>>82449973
Power Rangers was stupid. Except Light Speed Rescue and Dino Thunder. Everything else was gay.

>>82450008

Its camp. Same as Godzilla.

Which is why I watched it. It had a Mecha Samurai Godzilla.

>>82447551
My parents let me watch anything I wanted even some things that weren't for a kid at that age like Steel Angel Kurumi and such

Although they did scold me when I started to swear like a sailor after watching the South Park movie

I was allowed to watch whatever weird shit I wanted.

Mom: Don't you think that'll make him a slacker?

Dad: Pffft. Boy's already a lost cause, it's why we have his sister.

Mind you, my sister is like 10 years younger then me.

Pee Wee's Playhouse: parents did not want me to imitate Pee Wee's voice

That was it

Said it last thread but anything "violent".
Swat Kats, Batman: TAS, X-Men show, Spiderman show etc.
That was mostly mom though, dad had a conversation with me about what was real and what wasn't and allowed me to play games like Doom and Quake.

>>82450671
You should imitate his voice next time you see them.

>>82447551
Goosebumps, but that's it.

They let me watch anything, but took issues with fighting games that were realistic because it was wrong to beat women according to them.

Which is okay since the one I liked the most was Smash Bros anyway and those were "just cartoons".

>>82447551
Only two shows (that I didn't like):

-Super Duper Sumo's (because the characters were obese, and kept glorifying their asses)
-Butt ugly Martians (my mom literally said "you aren't watching that, it looks like dog shit")

I think this might be typical of 90s kids. Nobody remembers but there was a lot of paranoia in the media about TV influencing children and turning them into murderers in the 90s. I was high school when a national petition was being passed around to ban violence on tv. An essay we had to write in class was about violence on TV. Everyone wrote that violence should be censored to suck up to the teacher. I made the case against censorship. On my essay the teacher wrote "I agree". I was smug as fuck that day.
I'm an 80s kid and there was nothing I wasn't allowed to watch. Go to bed on time and if you have nightmares it's your problem. That's it.

That was over in Muriga tho, over here parents who did ban shit were looked upon. Especially since we came str8 outta Gommunism and banning things made people iffy.

They never really gave me a reason

The only shows I weren't allowed to watch as a kid were Ren and Stimpy because of the gross-out humor, South Park, and Beavis and Butthead. Of course I watched all three anyway with my uncle and older siblings. Strangely, they were fine with violent video games. Pink Floyd has always been unacceptable in my household though - I asked my mom about it one day and she said their music makes her suicidally depressed and just hearing them on the radio makes her want to drive her car off the road but also take someone out with her.

>>82448852
I definitely agree with it being overrated and trying too hard to be edgy, but Billy and Mandy did have some golden moments.

I stopped watching the show when Mandy became less of a sane man foil and more of an "evil little girl" archetype.

>>82447551
Chowder. that was it

>>82454168
but why?

>>82454070
your mom has solid music taste

I don't think they liked a lot of the shows I watched as a kid, but they never physically stopped me from watching anything because they weren't maniacs.
I think I was a little piece of shit as a kid because my old man told me I wasn't supposed to be watching South Park so my response was to one day watch it in the living room as soon as he got home to spite him.

>children not being allowed to watch g-pg rated cartoons

What the fuck. My parents let me watch whatever as long as it wasn't too adult or anything.

Same, family was not happy with us watching South Park, but I used to get my mum to record films like Scary Movie, for me to watch in the mornings.

My parents didn't give a fuck about what I watched because they didn't love me.

Rocko's Modern Life. My mom deemed it be againt the lord. Aparently a character took the lords name in vain at some point.

Ren and Stimpy, for whatever reason, had been and still was, allowed.

Dad initially shut the TV off when the Beetlejuice cartoon was going to start, but he looked into it and changed his mind. I only watched that one episode. There was also some show I watched 3 seconds of before my parents shut it down for being too violent (I was pretty damn young, to be fair). All I recall was an explosion being viewed from the air, I'm guessing it was DBZ but I'm not sure.

Mostly my parents were strict about vidya, both playing time and content (we had pic related installed, which also affected TV time). Getting Melee when I was 10 required something of a campaign from me and my older brother. My dad did get kinda concerned about my watching Ren & Stimpy, but it wasn't the content so much as making sure I wasn't just sitting around watching things I don't really like.

>>82447729
I remember going to a Blockbuster with my dad and looking at some VHS tapes of it, and he kinda gently told me to put them up. I never actually watched any B&B until the reboot, but I went back and watched some of the original because of it.

>>82448386
Not banned, but my mom consistently complained about how screamy it was whenever she was present. I also had to fast-forward through Itchy & Scratchy, not because she thought it was bad for me, but because she hated it.

No Disney at all
cause it was a corrupt business with no morals.
Also no vidya or computer
cause that would dehumanize us and kill our mum in her sleep.

Steven Universe does have some subtext, but I never found it to be as transparent as people seem to find it. Fusions make sense within the fantasy context of the show, and Steven in drag that one time was comedic like plenty of cartoons have done before.

Because Duck Dodgers came out in 2005ish (would be weird for parents to not let their teenager see a smoking scene), and Cow and Chicken was around in the late 90's, and even the latter's reruns didn't last long past then.

My parents didn't let me watch porn. That was it. My father use to give me shit for watching Sailor Moon and Power Puff Girls as a kid, but they were so cool (and Sailor Moon was so hot).

Later I found out he didn't care about me watching Sailor Moon, because in his eyes it was proof I wasn't gay. I guess I had fallen really low on the Beta scale by that point, and he was willing to compromise.

parents would never let me watch simpsons because one of my mom's friend said she heard someone on the show say "damn," which equates to a really bad swear word, and was considered an adult show from then on.

they wouldnt let me watch dragon ball z either because that shit came on at 8PM every night, and according to my parents anyhitng taht came on tv after sunset was mature adn for adults and i shoulda spent taht time studying.

t.b.h tho, everything they saw me watching some shit they didnt like, or they wanted to watch the tv, they would make up some shit and tell me to fuck off.

i remember after all taht shit when i was in middle school, like 14 yeard old, i would still be watching cartoons and that pissed off my dad a lot because taht was an immature thing to do and i was far too old to be acting like a kid. so then one day im watching taht 70s show and my mom or dad sees me wathcing it and catches a lil bit of it, i thnk they probs swore or kissed or some shit, and they told me taht shows like this weren;t for "families like us" and would never let me watch it form then on. lose/lose situation t.b.h.

we were immigrants btw. they were strict af before as well and i think it really became evident here because even as a kid i saw how much freedom other kids had, and it made me jealous. but before that, they didnt seem as strict because the other kids were in the same life/trap, and taht shit was the norm. gay shit mane

>I still can't approve of dictating what your children can and can't watch
You can't possibly be serious.

wasn't allowed to watch rugrats or anything that was in the klasky-csupo or john k style because it was rude

wasn't allowed to watch bonkers because it was obnoxious
wasn't allowed to watch gargoyles because it was too dark

was allowed to watch pokemon, but wasn't allowed to play pretend involving pokemon. same with harry potter (WITCHCRAFT!!)

wasn't allowed to play vidya. mom bought into the alarmist stuff about it literally rotting my brain and turning me into a psychopath. I

bought a PS2 with my own money in 2004 and we were only allowed to play DDR and American Idol Karaoke

my 8 year old brother is now literally addicted to videogames. she buys him shit like assassin's creed. having four kids really wore her out and now all the things she thought would happen to me if I touched the vidya are embodied in my brother

Not /co/ but there was a time my brother rented Ninja Scroll when I was a kid. After seeing people gush out blood, me and my younger brother felt all the gore was a little intense. My mom and older brother didn't understand where we was coming from since we "ALWAYS watched these Japanese cartoons" (Pokemon/Digimon) So we were pretty much forced to sit and watch it for some strange reason.
Of course the minute we start getting into it and a giant pair of tits bounces onto the screen and the guy starts sucking on them is when they decide to pull the plug.

The word you're looking for is "that"

My dad thought Rugrats was stupid, nor did he like Cow and Chicken. This was fine because none of us really liked it anyway.

My mom didn't like me watching Sailor Moon because she thought Serena (Usagi) was a bratty whore and didn't deserve to win all the time. Despite this my dad was fond that they made shows for girls, and bought me plush dolls of Jupiter and Mars.

My younger sister liked watching Cardcaptors when it aired on WB, and our grandma got pretty upset about it because of demons and shit. She also scolded our brother for wanting to go as Venom for Halloween.

A few years later my dad and her got into an argument over a VHS tape containing taped episodes of Tom and Jerry. She would sometimes say she regretted our mom married my dad.

My dad was originally an accountant, but suddenly claimed he was called by god to be a pastor which fucking devastated a good amount of my remaining childhood. Not that we weren't religious before, but he kicked it up a notch. He did some guest sermons at our parish, but eventually my mom got worried and essentially got together with some of our family and friends to talk him out of it because he was prepared to uproot us and go out East (my mom was not willing to give up her pretty awesome job).

Pretty much everything. We had like 3 channels so all I saw growing up was PBS. Anything else was invariably considered too violent or raunchy. Choosing what I could and couldn't see was about the only aspect of my life that my dad took interest in.

I wonder if any of them are ever going to figure out who was really 'calling him' and what old scratch's blatantly obvious goal is, in making all of the big guy's followers look like absolute nutjobs. Because he really couldn't be more obvious. But ever since that very first act, he's never had to hide.

It worked out. After the little intervention he decided it was rash to essentially discard our feelings, and simply became more involved with the church but stopped doing sermons and ministry and the like.

He also relaxed the rules a bit, but by this time I was 14 so maybe that was why

I don't think anything was off limits for me.

There were things that grandparents didn't approve of, like Beavis and Butthead, or the Simpsons. But nothing outright forbidden.

Then again, my parents apparantly didn't give a fuck. I found out that my cousins were forbidden to watch the simpsons but my dad snuck them VHS tapes that he had recorded.

Beast Wars after my mom saw the scene where Rhinox chaingunned Waspinator to pieces while blind because it was too violent.

Nothing else really. My dad enjoyed watching Animaniacs and Pinky & the Brain with me.

A better question is what was I allowed to watch. Only PBS (mostly Arthur) because my mom thought cartoon network and nickelodeon would give me brain damage. My dad was based and would watch looney toons and popeye with me

Let's see when I was around 7-10ish my parents were fine with really anything I watched, he'll my dad got me into fuckin Starship Troopers!
>Ya remember that?
They had duckin toys and a cartoon, ROUGHNECKS, watched the shit out of it. Hell my dad would record them on VHS and edit out the commercials by fast forwarding so I could watch'em all the time. We even enjoyed a lot of Samuria Jack.
Now here's the funny part, I remember getting into the Yugioh cards and show bout 8 or 9 and my parents were questioning if the cards were atleast appropriate content for me, but they let it slide.
The earliest I remember Adult Swim was one time I caught an episode of Inuyashia late one night when they were asleep, being a little kid I thought it was cool and such a Taboo (also remember Quake 64 being a Taboo and a no go for me, even though my dad owned it?).
Alright fast forward to bout say 13-14 getting into a Robot Chicken and Futarama, OOOH and now it's inappropriate! Never mind the necked chicks and people being gutted in Starship Troopers.

It seems anything that came off as incredibly stupid or too mature for my age was banned, everything else was good.

So that meant EE&E, Johnny Bravo, and some of the other old Cartoon Cartoons were off limits, as were South Park, Family Guy, and the Simpsons (though I got away with Futurama for some reason). Once I got into middle school they eased up big time, seems they were just didn't want me corrupted or something.

I dont think there was any TV I wasn't allowed to watch.

Don't remember them banning anything in particular. They refused to watch stuff like Spongebob with me because they felt it was too silly for them. Same with Simpsons which I didn't mind because as a kid I didn't really get it anyway.

I suppose they were a bit stricter with video games because here in Germany viollence in video games was always a bit of a hot topic which is why many of them used to be cut for German release and a few still are. But aside from only buying me games rated appropriate for my age they weren't especially strict about it either.

I think I'll never be able to understand the mindset of religious Americans. That talk about demons and satanism... that's the nonsense you only hear from some of the crazier muslims here and those are generally ridiculed.

>>82463117
My dad actually loves the classic Simpsons episodes, though he's a bit of an americanophile. Didn't matter much, my parents were divorced, I grew up with my Ma.

I used to watch Dragonball Z with her. She really enjoyed it but in retrospekt I assume it might have had to do with all the hunky shirtless men.

I was allowed to watch anything, to be honest. The only time I actually got in trouble was when I was 9 or 10 and figured out how to order PPV porn; ordered like 200$ worth over the course of a week.

As far as cartoons and shit, I could watch whatever I wanted as long as no one else was using the TV. Generally, I would just move to a different room and continue watching, though. There was a point, in the 5th grade, where we only had one TV with cable on it for awhile. 5pm-6pm no one could watch TV but me.

Why? DBZ. I made a deal with my parents that if I got that time to watch DBZ I would hand over the remote as soon as it ended and not get to pick anything until everyone else was done. It worked pretty well, and when I couldn't watch anything I would play Warcraft 2 on battlenet.

Its not just satanism and demons. Kids are impressionable. Things like Simpsons and South Park could encourage crude language/attitude. I know I had a pretty bad potty mouth when I was in elementary school after watching South Park all the time with my friends.

South Park is outside your age bracket though, it's pretty normal to be banned from watching it as a kid. I'm pretty sure anon just meant shit like Pokemon which isn't going to corrupt your mind or make you worship the devil.
Some parents really take cartoons seriously, some guy actually once told me that any form of magic was evil witchcraft so it offended his religion to see it anywhere. Even MLP is/was offensive to him.

I think we stopped watching Pokemon because of some stupid reason like playing the intro in reverse is actually a satanic chant, but I'm not sure if it was ever actually banned per se.
I personally was allowed to watch any cartoon without any real issue, but I know my aunt had banned my cousins from watching Billy and Mandy because she thought it was too stupid and would make them stupid.

Don't think she banned anything else, but I reckon she just caught an episode once and you can't really blame her for getting that impression. She was fond of Ed, Edd n Eddy though, or at least, knew of the characters which I suppose is a bit strange now I think of it

>>82447551

My old man used to watch the more violent cartoons with me. Samurai Jack was his favorite. My Dad brought home the South Park movie when I was 10 and had me watch it with him, he laughed his arse off the whole time. I think what made it funny for him wasn't the movie itself but that my grandmother was staying with us at the time and how horrified she was at the whole thing

>>82447551

My parents didn't care about this because they weren't retarded.

>>82447551

This and most anime because I came home to my mom halfway finished watching a rented VHS copy of Genocyber I borrowed from a friend.

fuckin' forgot my image

I wasn't allowed to watch The Simpsons because Bart was rude.

I was allowed to watch Pokemon but my dad shamed me so much that I stopped. He thought it was stupid/juvenile. I was maybe 8 or so.

They were pretty cool about everything else.

>>82464765

>He thought it was stupid/juvenile

More parents need to operate from this standpoint so their children don't embarrass themselves consistently later in life.

>>82464755

>Genocyber

I'm so sorry she had to catch you watching that of all things

>>82464765
>shaming an 8 year old for liking Pokemon
I wish pain upon your father.

My parents let me watch most anything. For some reason Ren and Stimpy was okay but South Park was too adult. I guess they didn't mind mild violence and gross out humor, but they didn't want me watching anything with cursing or sexual references that weren't super subtle (besides classic SNL). I got to watch Alec Baldwin's christmas skit about schweddy balls but I couldn't watch Chef sing about chocolate salty balls...

>>82464790

She had already screened a copy of Demon City Shinjuku, it was in the animation section at the rental store.

How it got there and how the owners didnt realize it is beyond me, she dragged me to the rental store and embarrassed the shit out of me by accosting the owner. I could only get my Japanimation fix at friends' houses til I was 14 then I was balls deep in ranma 1/2 and elhazard/3x3 eyes

>>82464818

It's because chef was black.

Negro sacks are the devil's fruit.

>>82464760

That show gave me the trippiest dreams growing up, my brother would watch MTVs late night animation block and I would sneak down to sit on the stairs and watch secretly.

My parents were cool and were more concerned with strangers danger than media influences so I got to watch and play pretty much anything . I remember my mom forbidding me from watching South park and playing resident evil (because the first dog in jumping through the window made me run from the run in mortal fear). I think I was banned from horror movies rated R maybe but I had no interest at all. My dad bought me conker n64 at 8 and we both laugh at the vulgarity.

Flash forward to high school, I went to a Christian school that was deeply conservative (Obama is the anti Christ level). However due to my permissive parents it crested fun situations where I would sign hymns and talk about the sins of evolution and the media then go home a play persona 3 where you summon Satan by blowing your brains out with an evoker. I also would crossdress in my room sonit was a fun double life

>>82447551
What a terrible childhood you had.
My dad didn't ban a single show from me and even joined in for futurama and other shows.

>>82448327

What the fuck was with parents and Catdog? What about Catdog was so goddamned offensive?

I had a neighbor, and her parents hated Catdog so much she wasn't allowed to watch Nickelodeon. Seriously, what did Catdog do to these people? Did it kill their cat? Dog?

Anyway, as for me I wasn't allowed to watch Pokemon, because, I don't know "bad stuff in it" or something. Power Rangers for being too violent, but eventually I was allowed to watch that anyway. The Simpsons too, for the cursing, and whatnot. But eventually I was allowed to watch that as well.

The only two that I never did watch were the previously mentioned Pokemon, and Harry Potter, on account the witchcraft and all that good stuff.

>>82447551
Ren and Stimpy, that was it.

>couldn't watch shows like South Park, Invader Zim, or watch Horror movies till I was about 11 or 12
>let me have my first M rated game at 8
>it was the Punisher game

I don't understand

My mom didn't like Animaniacs, and I assume that's because she understood the innuendos. That's about it, really.

>>82461297
Yeah, I can get that.

I was allowed to watch anything on CN but my mum didnt like EEnE or Fosters Home because the characters had bad teeth (I remember her specifically seeing Mac's brother and asking me to turn it off)
She liked The Simpsons and Dexters Lab though

>>82448148
They were protecting you from one of the most ungodly abominations unleashed by man.
You should be proud.

>>82447551
Shows I couldn't watch (possible reason) :
Rocko's Modern Life (Bev Seduction episode took it too far?)
Hey Arnold (Those kids look angry)
Ed Edd and Eddy (The Kanker Sisters role in the story for johnny episode)
Catdog (Gross?)
Ren and Stimpy (Stinky Wizzleteats)
Arthur (???)
Tiny Toons (Those cartoon rabbits are assholes.)
Pinky and The Brain (Those mice clearly are homosexual)
Pokemon (???)
Digimon (???)
Robot Jones (Those robots look angry)
Time Squad (Gay robot guy)
Fairly Odd Parents (Summer camp camp camp)
Avatar the last airbender (?????)
Ducktales (?????????)
Rescue Rangers (Imitable dangerous stunts)
Quack Pack (Those ducks are douches.)
South Park (Self explanatory)
Futurama (Bender)
Family Guy (These people are really stupid)
Power Puff Girls (That's for little girls)
Dragon Ball Z (They saw the uncensored version of what happens to Frieza)
Super Mario Bros. Super Show (Don't fucking sing that song, goddamnit why.)
PeeWee's playhouse (Damnit, quit imitating those words of the day. Stop it.)
SatAM (That man looks like an evil lunatic)
Adventures of Sonic the Hedgehog (This is stupid)

My parents had the weirdest fucking standards when it came to what I watched as a kid:

>South Park: totally fine
>Tom & Jerry: BANNED. TOO VIOLENT.

That's a real example, btw.

>>82465379
>or watch Horror movies till I was about 11 or 12

I remember being super into horror/exploitation films growing up. Originally, my parents had a rule that I could watch anything made before 1980, because "movies made before then were a lot tamer."

Then they learned about films like Salo, I Spit on Your Grave, and Last House on the Left.

>>82447551
I wasn't allowed to watch South Park, but around the time I hit 12 or 13 mom stopped caring about that rule.

>>82447551
My parents let me watch anything because they were cool with it. Except teletubbies, I dont fucking know why other than that my mom was freaked out by people in costumes.

>>82447551
Never had that problem, the closest thing to it was Dragonball Z when a character would scream the Brazillian equivalents of "bastard", "damned" and "damnation" and my mom would come around and ask what I was watching with people calling each other bad names.

And also Mr. Satan was a character so... yeah, I was always ready to change the channel when she was around.

>>82447551
Ren and Stimpy. Now it is the cartoon my art is mostly inspired from

>>82447551
>>Power Rangers(news story about a group of kids killing a little girl because they were playing Power Rangers)

I remember that. My mom told me they kicked her to death or something, so I wasn't allowed to watch the show anymore. It was right in the middle of the intro too, so that wasn't cool.

>>82447551
I'm so glad I didn't have retarded parents like some of you anons. My mom only didn't let me watch South Park, and by the time I was 10 or 11 she didn't care if I watched it. I don't even blame her for that because South park (especially the first few seasons) was pretty extreme for a little kid.

As a child, my father refused to rent the film "A Goofy Movie" from the local video store under the excuse of not wanting "that amount of goofiness" in his VCR

At the time I didn't realize he was just being cheap, since I was able to borrow it from the library eventually.

I'm glad he didn't spend money on it.

this never fucking happened

also

>not liking A Goof Movie

My cousins were strictly forbidden from watching the Simpsons and Futurama which their mum thought were the stupidest shows on television. But when they came over to our house, we let them watch it with us.

I wasn't allowed to watch Simpsons because of the violence mainly from Itchy and Scratchy. Also there was an episode about Bart (David) and the bully as Goliath and these other biblical satire. And my parents were very cross.

Shit some kids from my church weren't allowed to watch Dragonball or Pokemon because of Satan or some shit.

>>82447642
My dad liked it more then I did
The only shows I wasn't allowed to watch were live action, my mom didn't like Billy and Mandy but she never told me not to watch it

>>82466231
you're not alone anon. my mom let us watch anything we wanted but she really didn't like my little sis watching teletubbies. she always talked about how scared she was of them and she would have nightmares about them

I'm so sorry that some of you here had to go through the same bullshit this kid had to. No kid should be barred from watching shows that target their fucking age demographic.

>>82454046
I never watched Invader Zim around the time it was airing, but I probably would have been banned from watching it. I have the DVD boxset, but I don't think my parents have ever seen the show itself.

Invader zim. But I watched it anyway

Powe Rangers and Dragon Ball.
I later found out it wasn't because they were violent or anything, my parents just didn't want me getting into them because they were sick of all the other shows I watched and didn't want to deal with even more.

My Dad hated me watching any show with a female lead or anything with the the of girl power with a action-packed spin everyone could enjoy. Such as Sailor Moon, Powerpuff Girls etc. He still does, but he doesn't go out of his way to stop it or anything which is cool of him.

>>82466313
Hey, it's the only instance of my parents ever saying "You can't watch something" I can recall of in my entire life, and even then it's a flimsy bullshit answer my father made up on the spot so he wouldn't have to spend $4 at the video store.

I didn't have parents who said no to media, they figured I was smart enough to handle most of it. So I saw things like Heavy Metal and Fantastic Planet at a nice young age.

Flesh Gordon I had to wait on, though. I think I was sixteen before I was considered mature enough to handle that one.

My mom was cool with whatever I watched typically. She actually liked a few of the shows I liked.

I didn't really know my dad too well cuz he died when I was kinda young, however that's probably for the best because he was an asshole to everyone and from people who knew my dad better than me, he was just a waste of oxygen.

However I do remember him trying and failing to ban me from Dragonball z, but the two of us would religiously watch smack down and raw every Thursday and Monday night. And I also remember him taking me to hooters to go see a wrestling ppv. I don't remember which one it was.

I also remember as a kid I had vhs tapes of recorded shows, mostly digimon, and my dad recorded ppv porn on a couple of them and I found out the ”hard" way that he did.

I hate to say it, but I do have some good memories with him, but when I die and go to hell I will beat the ever living fuck out of that asshole

Was anything ever hit as hard as Pokémon by the "SATAN!!!!!" guys? I guess it got too popular too fast and had evolution in it.

>>82468206
Harry Potter was hit pretty bad.

My cousin was a little sociopath, so whenever I'd go to my aunt's just about every channel would be blocked with the V-chip. As for my parents they'd let me watch anything I wanted to as long as I wouldn't get scared for days after, also any time a sex scene came up they'd almost smack me in the face trying to cover my eyes.

do you have a constructive reason why they may not have, like mistakenly thinking south park was a comedy aimed at kids?

I wasn't alloweed to watch any TV.

I think my parents just didn't want me to get into TV, because they wanted me to learn to enjoy real life or read books or whatever, but it didn't work because now I'm more obsessed with TV than most people who grew up watching whatever. I think because I'm making up for lost tv time, I dunno.

Welp. At least they weren't restrictive, but still it feels weird hearing all these people talk about their families who forbade them from stuff because it was "age inappropriate" or "mean spirited".

he was right tho, pokemon anime was gay, just because you fit in with le 90s kids now doesnt make it good lol. eat shit

also maybe its because ren and stimpy was on a kids network, whereas south park wasnt? idiot?

The whole "you shouldn't watch anime because it's cultural invasion" argument doesn't hold much water if you don't live in a first world country. Come on dad, you grew up listening to British music and watching American movies, how is that not cultural invasion too?

South Park, because obvious reasons. Simpsons would've been banned as well, but growing up with only analog w/ certain channels only, we couldn't get FOX anyway.

Power Rangers for me as well, I'm glad I wasn't alone. Mom said they "solved everything with violence" which sends a bad message. I just thought the effects and suit designs were the coolest thing ever, and the simple evil-squashing was the pinnacle of storytelling. Still kinda do.
I think that's part of why I watch tokusatsu now, particularly Rider. I'm a two-decade-late rebel.

I feel sorry for you guys.

>>82463202
>tfw will never watch dbz with my mom

Most cartoons with toilet humor because even a single burp was too much for mom. Actually, I could have watched them, but I had to suffer through my mom screaming "EWW THAT'S GROSS I DON'T LIKE THIS CARTOON" at everything. Like that scene in Toonsylvania where the Frankenstein dude farts in the microphone the scientist used to make a robot speak and as a result the robot belches out the fart which melts off everyone's face.

Also I couldn't watch Batman Beyond because mom disliked how much different his costume looked. I still haven't watched it. THANK YOU MOM
