Get ready for a dose of TV scandal! When it comes to pushing boundaries, The Big Bang Theory had a scene that really turned up the heat. Kaley Cuoco’s racy outfit in one particular scene was so sizzling that certain advertisers deemed it ‘too hot’ for television. Imagine a moment so steamy it gets banned in an entire country!
It’s like the ultimate TV no-no, where even the smallest wardrobe malfunction can cause a media stir. Buckle up as we dive into the juicy details of how Cuoco’s outfit became the talk of the town, making waves and leaving viewers wondering: just how hot can TV get?
Why Kaley Cuoco’s Racy Outfit Got The Big Bang Theory Banned in the UK
In a twist worthy of a sitcom script, The Big Bang Theory faced an unexpected international snag in Season 10. The episode where Penny and Leonard transform their room into a makeshift s*x dungeon was a cheeky plot twist for U.S. viewers, but it didn’t fly so smoothly across the pond. The UK deemed it too steamy for their screens, leading to the episode’s ban.
What was the deal with the ban? It wasn’t the entire scene but rather a brief moment featuring Kaley Cuoco in a racy bondage outfit that sparked controversy. The outfit, while just a part of the scene, was deemed “too hot” by certain advertisers and networks in the UK, causing them to pull the episode from television.
The New Zealand Herald echoed the sentiment, reporting that advertisers found the provocative imagery too intense for UK audiences. As Decider notes (via The Things):
While the popular series, now in its tenth season, is known more for its hilarity than controversy, The New Zealand Herald reports that certain advertisers have deemed the racy scene “too hot” for UK screens and have banned the provocative footage from the episode.
Despite the controversy, this episode remains a memorable part of the series. It was a classic Big Bang moment, blending humor with a touch of scandal. And while it made for a fun subplot in the show, it certainly wasn’t the only time the sitcom faced international scrutiny.
