Controversial TV Episodes of Popular Shows That Have Been Totally Banned

"The High Ground" - Star Trek: The Next Generation

This episode of Star Trek had the characters visit the planet of Rutia IV in which "a generation of peace has ended with terrorist attacks by Ansata separatists who are demanding autonomy and self-determination for their homeland on the western continent." Although this is obviously a fake world that was built by the writers, many folks noticed the similarities between the episode and the Irish Troubles, or better known as the Northern Ireland Conflict. This sparked tensions and was subsequently banned in the UK and Ireland.
