13 Controversial TV Sitcoms:
01. IT'S YOUR MOVE (1984-1985) - This sitcom was doing okay until it changed its format for the final four episodes. NBC were receiving letters of complaint from parents saying their kids were copying the antics of the bratty Matthew character. Matthew wound up reforming for the final four episodes and the ratings fell and it was cancelled.
02. THE ROYAL BODYGUARD (Dec.2011– Jan 2012) - The series was heavily criticised by viewers and critics. A 71 year old David Jason was widely felt to be too old for the lead role. The prospect of seeing him playing a former guardsman who had seen action in Northern Ireland and had now been appointed to the presumably prestigious position of royal bodyguard after saving the Queen’s life stretched this fondness to breaking point. The plot’s entire premise was stupid and the standard of the comedy was excruciating. It was blatantly designed to cash in on the appeal of characters like Inspector Clouseau and Johnny English.
03. MARRIED WITH CHILDREN (1987-1997) - Dysfunctional families are a staple of television sitcoms. So Married… with Children was hardly revolutionary when it premiered on Fox in 1986. Over the years, however, the Bundy family wracked up its share of controversy due to the series’ sometimes overt sexual content.
