According to reports, an episode of children’s TV show Oggy and the Cockroaches has been pulled after a scene showed a picture of a topless woman. The show airs on Nickelodeon’s children’s TV channel NickToons and Nickelodeon has removed the show from it’s schedule and website.
From DailyMail:
An episode of a popular children’s show has apparently been pulled off the air after disgusted parents noticed cartoonists had drawn a picture of a pair of bare breasts into a scene.
The NickToons US website now appears to have removed the show from both its schedule and the show’s homepage, although some character’s ‘profile pages’ remain live.
But TV schedules for the next few days show other episodes are still billed to air in the US.
NickToons UK and Ireland began airing the show in September last year and shows new episodes every weekend morning.
It is unclear if the show will also be removed from the air in Britain.

One father told TMZ his child spotted the pair of breasts on his faourite show and was ‘extremely unhappy’ about it – particularly has he was forced to have an chat about anatomy with his 8-year-old son.
Oggy and the Cockroaches is a French animated comedy that centers on Oggy, a blue cat, who would prefer to spend his days contentedly watching television and eating – if not for the three roaches living in the house. The trio seems to enjoy making Oggy’s life miserable.
