* {{Getting Crap Past the Radar}}: Frequently aired on Disney Channel back in the late 1990s, but there is a scene in which Hayley dons a dominatrix uniform, writes the word 'wench' in the bathroom and the word 'virginity' is even thrown around. By modern standards, this ''definitely'' would not have aired on the network today.

Though distributed by Creator/{{Disney}}, it contains a lot of mature themes that most likely would not have flown today. Dominatrix garb, anyone?

* {{Getting Crap Past the Radar}}: 90s Disney was aimed at teenagers, which allowed more mature themes to be discussed. However, there is a scene in which Hayley dons a dominatrix uniform, writes the word 'wench' in the bathroom and the word 'virginity' is even thrown around. By modern standards, this ''definitely'' would not have flown today, seeing as Disney is now geared toward a younger demographic.
