What show did you watch as a child that you definitely should not have
been watching?
########################################################################
|u/highapplepie - 18 hours
|
|Basically everything after dark on HBO in the early 90’s.
|u/BlazinSkinDucks - 17 hours
|
|Puppetry of the penis on real sex was quite educational as a
|youngster.
|u/mattchewy43 - 17 hours
|
|Real sex as a kid was total masturbation fuel. As an adult it's
|definitely a different watch.
|u/Jealous-Network1899 - 16 hours
|
|I remember having a winter break leadership conference in college
|my junior year. We all agreed after the days last session to meet
|up at the local bar later on. Nobody ended up going because as we
|found out the next morning Real Sex was on HBO and everyone
|stayed in to watch.
|u/DinnerSuch7641 - 10 hours
|
|nothing says *leadership conference* like choosing HBO over
|bonding with your peers! Guess you all *really* wanted to
|expand your horizons... just not the way the schedule intended
|u/esoteric_enigma - 12 hours
|
|Real Sex was 90% documentary and like 10% titty. As a kid in the
|90s without high speed internet and infinite porn, that 10% was
|enough. All these years later though, I realized I learned so
|much from that show while I was waiting for the rare titty. There
|were two episodes dedicated to pussy eating classes. I did what
|they said my first time and knocked it out of the park. The girl
|couldn't believe I'd never done it before.
|u/Aggressive-Foot1960 - 7 hours
|
|Im cackling,The 10% titty comment took me out lol!
|u/j_goodie0826 - 3 hours

|
|Poetry. *chef's kiss*
|u/Ok-Lie-301 - 14 hours
|
|Taxi Cab Confessions, Hookers on the Point, Cathouse, and Pimps
|Up Hoes Down were all television gold. I miss those gritty HBO
|docs…
|u/h3yd000ch00ch00 - 12 hours
|
|I loved Taxi Cab Confessions! And G String Divas lol
|u/GrimeyJosh - 13 hours
|
|Bahahahahaha Hookers on the Point! 😂 that shit was wild in the
|90s 😂
|u/fishonthemoon - 11 hours
|
|I wish they would bring back Taxi Cab Confessions. There were
|some wild stories on there lol.
|u/Onion-Soup18 - 11 hours
|
|Also Red Shoe Diaries
|u/Cscott14au - 10 hours
|
|I learned who Katie Morgan is solely from this.
|u/DinnerSuch7641 - 10 hours
|
|Yeah, as a kid it was definitely a *whole* different kind of
|‘educational,’ but now it’s more like watching a documentary with
|way too many awkward pauses. The innocence is gone, but the
|curiosity remains
|u/IDetestUsernames93 - 17 hours
|
|Oh. This show was crazy. The woman that saved sperm to perm her
|hair with?
|u/Agraywitch11 - 11 hours
|
|OMG, I had forgotten about the few episodes of Real Sex I saw as a
|kid, whoa.
|u/ImpressionForward540 - 11 hours
|
|Followed by Taxicab Confessions
|u/Ok-Calligrapher2224 - 17 hours
|
|Early 2000s and I became an Olympic Channel switcher. That little
|button on the bottom of the remote was a gift from a the gods.
|u/GrimeyJosh - 13 hours
|
|gotta keep nickelodeon/cartoon network on that “Last Channel”
|button. That shit was CLUTCH
|u/Ok-Calligrapher2224 - 13 hours
|
|Yhup and then for extra dazzle dazzle I’d then type in the number
|for the other kid show. Just in case my mom hit the “last
|channel” button.
|u/TheSinningRobot - 7 hours
|
|On today's installment of "have i ever had a unique experience in
|my life?"
|u/wspnut - 12 hours
|
|The trick was to find a safe channel one away from what you were
|watching. So you pressed “last channel” then “up” real fast. My
|parents caught on to the Last Channel trick and would check, and it
|would look like I was just flipping channels.
|u/DinnerSuch7641 - 10 hours
|
|That button was a cheat code lol

|u/deadline_zombie - 16 hours
|
|I remember in the 80s there was Eros International on Skinemax. I
|always wondered how much was made up, real, or exaggerated. There was
|a scene of a wedding where everyone was naked (Bride still wore a
|veil). There was another about an East Asian parade that celebrated
|the penis. Another claimed in some European country, so long as you
|block out the windows in a car, you can legally have sex. So they
|show two people putting up newspapers then show the car from the
|outside rocking.
|u/bigniccosuaveee - 14 hours
|
|Watching Band of Brothers at about 8 or 9. Lots of gore and death but
|worth it for the scene with the topless lady.
|u/Johnlc29 - 12 hours
|
|When we first got HBO, they had a policy where they wouldn't show
|anything above a PG13 before 8 pm. This was until 1980 or 81. So it
|was quite common to come home from school and turn on the tv, and
|since my dad was the last one to have watched tv see some things we
|weren't supposed to. I remember North Dallas Forty was on HBO a lot
|back then.
|u/andreiulmeyda7 - 12 hours
|
|Cathouse also
|u/Rustash - 12 hours
|
|Cathouse, Real Sex, G-String Divas. There was another one that
|would air sometimes that was more about erotic/sex shows from
|around the world but I can’t remember the name.
|u/Rustash - 12 hours
|
|Every Thursday at 11pm, at least in the mid 2000s. Good times.
|u/Whole_Personality_58 - 10 hours
|
|Bunny ranch 😂😂😂
|u/CharmingDagger - 9 hours
|
|Late 80s, too. I think Body Double was on every Saturday night for
|about six months. That movie is basically softcore porn.
|u/sawatdee_Krap - 5 hours
|
|Things that would not fly today: We were at the state basketball
|tournament in 8th grade. All of us boys were tuned to real sex, and
|it was about sex dolls. We were calling each other on the hotel
|phones because we couldn’t be caught out in the hallways and it was 4
|to a room. About halfway through the episode we got a call to our
|room, it was clearly our male principal (we heard him every morning
|for the last 8 years of our lives. We knew his voice) and he just
|said “turn to 840 to see your future wives” and hung up. Pretty
|innocent to us at the time but now as an adult kinda fucked up to
|have a principal tell minors to turn on the nearest thing to porn.
|He also was our science teacher and came into class once and said “so
|I found some graffiti that I changed. It now says Mr. xxxx eats
|shiitake mushrooms ….so open your books to chapter 14 which reminds
|me I also changed the graffiti in the girls room to Mr. Xxxx is a FUN
|GUY.” The chapter was on mushrooms. He was awesome.
|u/Rough3Years - 18 hours
|
|Beavis and Butthead
|u/Abe_Odd - 14 hours
|
|In the movie "bevis and butthead do america" there's a scene where
|they use a car jack and say "hheehe I'm jacking off" - So I quoted
|that scene at a family dinner with the grandparents and aunt present.
|I still cringe about it from time to time.
|u/ShearGenius89 - 12 hours
|
|I remember my dad flipped his shit when he saw me watching that
|scene and repeated it.
|u/DinnerSuch7641 - 10 hours
|
|Yeah, parents never quite understood the *‘genius’* behind it.
|They’d hear 'fire, fire' and immediately assume you were either
|becoming a pyro or losing brain cells.
|u/mmbc168 - 8 hours
|
|My grandmother took me to see that movie and laughed the entire way
|through it. I was a kid. Gramma was awesome.
|u/diarrhea_pocket - 6 hours
|
|My grandma introduced me to beavis and butthead. I was at her
|house one summer and she said “I found something on the tv guide
|you might like, it’s called Beavis and Butt- *Head* ”With strong
|inflection on the space between butt and head. It was turned off
|almost immediately after I laughed my ass off enough to know I
|had a new favorite show.
|u/Bastard_eye - 11 hours
|
|Lmao
|u/Abe_Odd - 10 hours
|
|It's alright, thankfully the rest of my family seems to have NOT
|FORGOTTEN about it and they bring it up every thanksgiving in
|increasingly clever and creative ways.
|u/Bastard_eye - 10 hours
|
|That's piss funny. I love beavis and butthead. There's the
|episode where beavis cuts his finger off with the circular saw
|in woodwork class and he sticks his finger up his nose to stop
|the bleeding. Yeah well I cut my finger with an axe and it
|wouldn't stop bleeding and my brother said "quick!! Shove it up
|your nose to stop the bleeding!!" And the whole family laughed.
|So yeah they stir me up with that one whenever possible
|u/cantliftmuch - 17 hours
|
|It was the only thing ever banned in my house. I learned how to set
|the VCR to record with the tv off, and I just watched the tapes when
|my parents left me home alone.
|u/ShotNixon - 13 hours
|
|My mom said she disconnected our cable because my brother and I kept
|watching Beavis and Butthead and she didn’t like it. 40 years later I
|realize we were just poor and it was a good excuse.
|u/DinnerSuch7641 - 10 hours

|u/ZappBrannigansLaw - 14 hours
|
|Same. Washing the dog, washing the dog, duh duh
|u/FosDoNuT - 11 hours
|
|I was 10 when Do America came out. My parents brought be to see it in
|the theater because they wanted to see it. Watching it now, I was way
|too young for that movie.
|u/DinnerSuch7641 - 10 hours
|
|the show that somehow convinced an entire generation that watching
|two idiots laugh at music videos was *high art*
|u/novicemma2 - 18 hours
|
|The x files as a 8-9 year old, the show was so damn interesting even
|though it gave me nightmares
|u/Nathaniel56_ - 16 hours
|
|The home episode still gives me nightmares..
|u/LumpkinsPotatoCat - 11 hours
|
|Is that the one with the inbred brothers raping their mother?! That
|one stuck with me.
|u/Admirable-Fail1250 - 10 hours
|
|Pretty sure it was consensual. It's the mom that says "we'll
|make the peacock name strong again" as the son climbs into the
|trunk with her. My gosh that episode was nightmare fuel.
|u/Nathaniel56_ - 7 hours
|
|True and earlier in the episode when Scully finds her and tries
|to get her to leave, she’s reluctant
|u/Nathaniel56_ - 11 hours
|
|Yep, fun fact, if you’ve seen any of the recent planet of the
|apes movies (rise, dawn, and war), the motion capture actor for
|Maurice is the mom from that house episode.

|To make matters worse, I don't think it was rape.
|u/FalmerEldritch - 10 hours

|*what* I always thought of X-File as like a PG13, maybe soft-R
|show
|u/oalfonso - 13 hours
|
|Terror masterpiece
|u/AllTheDaddy - 7 hours
|
|"Home" was the only episode of The X-Files to carry a TV-MA rating
|upon broadcast and the first to receive a viewer discretion
|warning for graphic content.
|u/Nathaniel56_ - 7 hours
|
|And it was banned too for years until Fox aired it once around
|Halloween
|u/standbylion8202 - 7 hours
|
|Squeeze is the episode that did it for me. The episode about the
|guy that can dislocate his joints to fit in tight spaces, and eats
|7 kidneys every 30 years or something. Edit: Holy cow, I looked up
|the episode and I can’t believe I actually got the “every 30 years”
|part right… it’s been well over a decade at this point, nearly two
|u/XXxxChuckxxXX - 12 hours

|Amazing episode

|My husband and I are watching xfiles and it's his first time. Just

|been watching it as a child
|u/TheRedditorSimon - 8 hours
|
|It started almost... wholesome? When Scully said "bahh-ram-ewe"
|from *Babe*, I felt like it was going to be okay. Even though other
|parts telegraphed do-NOT-go-into-scary-house.

|u/annaloupy - 12 hours
|
|Definitely this. Loved it but haunted me at night!

|
|I’m 30 and literally only in the last year have I been able to get

|u/Autumn_Forest_Mist - 16 hours
|
|My grandma, who was very sensitive, middle-aged woman at the time,

|Plot twist... You learned the word prostitute in church from the
|pastor who was reading it from The Bible. Yes, that's how it
|happened for me.
|u/PeepsMyHeart - 11 hours
|
|THIS. The Pearl-clutchers in parent groups aren’t worried about
|content, however terrible, as long as it’s being read from the
|Bible. 😂 Then it’s fine.
|u/Complete-Finding-712 - 9 hours
|
|I am a Christian, I've read all of the Bible several times. If
|the complete Bible were a movie/TV series, it would be R rated,
|potentially X rated at times. It gets way more sinister and
|explicit than simple prostitution. There is a woman who is
|gang-r***d, cut into pieces, and sent in 12 directions across the
|country. There are starving women who cannibalize their children.
|There is a whole book (section) that is either explicit s**ual
|poetry, an allegory of the Israelites' relationship with God, or
|both - scholars don't agree on this one. Just to name a few.
|Just because it's in the Bible, doesn't mean that all of the
|content is appropriate for all ages. 😉 Your pastor maybe could
|have been more delicate about the passage if children were kept
|in the service 😬

|u/_Bay_Harbor_Butcher_ - 10 hours
|
|I was in 4th grade when it first aired and I remember our

|it. Still one of my favorites! Also watched SNL with my Dad from the
|first episode. One of the last good days I spent with him was watching
|clips of the old stuff in YouTube.

|The A-Team holds a bittersweet place in my memories. As a kid, it
|seemed like the ultimate adventure - a group of ex-special forces
|soldiers turning the odds in their favor with ingenuity and a moral
|compass that tilted towards justice. The way they repurposed barnyard
|scraps into armored vehicles and consistently outsmarted the "bad
|guys" felt larger than life. The storyline of defending the underdog
|- whether it was saving a farm, a retirement home, or a reservation -
|had a way of making you believe in justice against all odds. At the
|time, it was thrilling, inspiring even.
|u/unhingedkillerpop - 12 hours

|We were just talking about Soap this last week at work. I was saying

|u/BlackLakeBlueFish - 10 hours
|
|I loved Love Boat & Fantasy Island! I was a school counselor in
|rural Iowa for a number of years. When our kiddos had their roller
|skating unit for PE, it came to light that our mild-mannered
|receptionist was a roller derby superstar back in the day. When I
|googled her stage name, a picture of her popped up with Ricardo

|u/Irichcrusader - 16 hours

|Yeah it was crazy, there were literal sexually suggestive scenes

|u/Irichcrusader - 15 hours
|
|Thinking back, I think I had a vague sense of what sex was, but
|I didn't *really* understand it. The early episodes have a lot

|didn't understand why I was laughing.

|u/CaitlinSnep - 12 hours
|
|Honestly, speaking as a Christian, I genuinely got a laugh out of a

|
|I grew up in the 80s, so I grew up watching all those glorious 80's R

|"Married with children" was a scary show about a family that hunts
|vampires. I then watched it and was completely confused.
|u/vikingraider47 - 16 hours

|u/Island_Maximum - 14 hours
|
|EVERY kid knew who Freddy, Jason and Michael Myers were. The
|best part of 80s horror movies were the box art. As a little kid
|I'd gravitate towards the horror section at the video store just to
|look at the boxes and imagine what the movie was like. As an
|adult, I've learned the box art was often better than the movie.
|u/Squigglepig52 - 11 hours

|70s kid, and it was killer animals. Jaws made me worry a shark
|would somehow be in our pool. Grizzly had me terrified of giant
|bears stalking me in the park at night. Oh. Yeah, so I had two much
|younger sisters, who sat and watched some show about the making of a
|movie about giant rats. I was about 12, baby sitting them, and....
|well, we had this shaggy grey fake fur blanket. So, after they were
|in bed, I put it over and scuttled into their room squeaking. Made

|A generation of British teenagers watched Eurotrash with the volume

|a little sleep to be safe, as they were driving straight through.
|They harassed the dad until they talked him into letting them search
|his car. He had a gun, unloaded with no bullets, and they arrested
|him on the spot. As they congratulated each other all I could think
|was how they had made the world less safe and absolutely destroyed

|The Austin Powers movies. All of the jokes went over my head as a kid.
|Watching that movie as an adult and realizing how much I'd quote it as
|a kid was pretty comical. I'd also call Fat Bastard, "Fat Boston"
|because I thought that's what they were saying.

|There was a cable show called "V" back in the mid 80s about aliens on

|Not a show, but a movie. The Shining. Saw his other movie As Good As

|My mother was watching some 1950-1960 horror movie where this hand

|Pretty much anything on Cartoon Network. Those shows were traumatizing

|Not watch but listen: Dr. Ruth Westhiemer. I would listen to her when I
|couldn't sleep when I was in elementary school. I distinctly recall her

|Piqued my (F) interest since then loved ice cream.

|As a kid of the 70’s, wasn’t a tv show but movie, Watership Down. Way
|too messed up as a show for a kid of 6-8. But as an artist, I was
|amazed by the art, and as an adult I read the book and grew to
|appreciate the works more. As a kid in the sticks, we never had cable
|or a great reception for tv. So tv was not big in our house.
