I didn't have cable, so there really wasn't too much my parents objected to me watching. Although for a very short period (about 2 months) I couldn't watch "The Simpsons." However, when I was young, I was NEVER allowed to watch "The Smurfs." I really don't know why, either. The best excuse my mom gave me was the smurfs "annoyed" her. (However, I have since seen a few episodes and I really didn't miss much.
