Degrassi Episodes Banned in the U.S - Page 2

traviswhoib · 03-24-2006

i think what happened was a few parents got together and agreed that thte episodes weren't appropriate. I think they're fine but with the whole abortion issue heating up in the U.S. I don't think they wanted to piss anyone off.

the reason i love degrassi so much is how they don't sugar-coat things and i found it stupid when the US refused to air some episodes. i mean, compared to other shows that's infiltrating the airwaves now, it doesn't make sense.

What can I say, the US, my unfortunate homeland, likes to pretend that reality doesn't happen. Politicians think its for protection. I think its a violation. I hate that "The N" wouldn't show those episodes. I got to see them because I downloaded them. But I think it would have been a step forward for my country if they had just faced reality and aired the episodes.

Agreed. Bush sucks. Censorship sucks. But i guess they didnt want to start a huge political argument...

Thats what I hate about America, but fortunaly, I used to get CTV and watched AWH when it aired.

radi0_act1ve · 04-02-2006

Yeah, but the good news is that the season 3 dvd has been released (though it might not be in stores just yet) and that episode will be included on there, so us U.S. kids can watch it. WOOHOO.

OMG they did the same to me because i live in US and i was on a Degrassi website and it said "Accidents will happen part 1,2'' and i'm like wait i seen every episode of Degrassi besides the new season i never seen that one i don't understand why they banned it because they showed liberty when she got pregnant by j.t

They should bann it.
Just cuz its about gays, sex and STD! (emma)
Doesnt mean that we arent mature to watch it.

Brandon · 04-03-2006

Abortion was a VERY controversial issue in the USA between the liberals and the conservatives. Degrassi above all is suppose to be a role model for teenagers and if it's supporting abortion, it may cut out half our viewers (Because of their parents belief.) In Canada, abortion was not an issue, it was a choice they had. In the US, that's another story.

If you haven't noticed, they stoped editing the episodes at all.

diffrent ppl have diffrent opinions on stuff, if they think abortions and teenage pregnancy is unapropriate for a teen channel, then kudos to them!

iloveryancooley4ever · 04-03-2006

they put on the episode w/jt and the pump,but not an abortion one?Come on!

JT's penis pump was focusing on his insecurities. Abortion to some is murder, and to some is a right. That's why it was so controversial. They probably would air it today, but they shouldn't backtrack that far.

yea, thats lame.
--------
you can see all sorts of other stuff but now its wrong just to show like an episode or two.
--------
yea, i think its lame. homosexuality can also be a controversial issue, but they show that. whats the diff??

Homosexuality is something you can't help. You are or you arent. Abortion is a choice that you take to kill an unborn child. People in the USA can rid abortion, but they can't rid homosexuality.

i gone the 3rd season dvd and on the comentary for the episode.. they said that they couldn't air them cause at the time there was a supreme court voting going on about abortion.... and that they plan to maybe air them in the future......
