Due to controversial themes, it did not air in the United States. However, it did air in certain countries around the world, including in Europe and the Caribbean. SynopsisThe series stars the characters Split Kit, Elliot Mess, Terri Cloth, Patty Putty, and Clogged Duane as gross looking kids with abilities to help others. In the first two episodes, they have normal alter-egos, which transform into their "Garbage Pail" identities; later episodes show them exclusively in their Garbage Pail looks (it is never explained how their Garbage Pail personae became permanent). The show also features parodies of Hollywood famous movies like the Indiana Jones series, Superman, Conan the Barbarian, King Kong, and The Fly. It also has segments between stories, such as "Garbage Pail Groaners" (jokes) and "Would We Lie To You?" (facts). ControversyCBS ordered an entire season, and heavily promoted it in the run-up to the 1987-88 season. However, it was abruptly pulled a few days before its debut, and was replaced with an extra half hour of Muppet Babies, which was expanded to 90 minutes in order to fill the time-slot after Garbage Pail Kids was pulled from the schedule. CBS removed the series from their schedule, following protests from Action for Children's Television, the National Coalition on Television Violence, and the Christian Leaders for Responsible Television (a part of the American Family Association). The reasons given were that the series ridiculed the handicapped and glorified violence, along with the common issue eventually rectified by the Children's Television Act that the program was effectively program-length ads for the toys and cards of the Garbage Pail Kids franchise. Some advertisers, such as Nabisco, McDonald's and Crayola also pulled out, either due to pressure from interest groups, or because they were unable to pre-screen the series from advanced tapes. A few CBS affiliates, such as WIBW-TV in Topeka, Kansas; KOTV in Tulsa, Oklahoma and KREM-TV in Spokane, Washington made known they would not carry the series on their stations, notifying CBS of their pre-emptions weeks in advance of the debut.[1][2] Despite not airing in the United States, However, it did air in several other countries, including Spain, Italy, Greece, France, Portugal, Germany, United Kingdom, Russia, Hungary, Ukraine, Norway, Czech Republic, Iceland, Finland, Bulgaria, Denmark, Poland, Sweden and Trinidad & Tobago.
