Critics
Although Nickelodeon adopted The Three Friends and Jerry into their lineup, many people thought it was not appropriate for children to watch. The Three Friends and Jerry show had sexual themes as in one episode Jerry peeps on Linda in the girls' locker room, also in the opening scene The Three Friends and Jerry are trying to look at the girls' panties with a mirror while the girls are jumping rope. In another episode the kids are caught by their teacher going to pornography pages on the school computers. The show also showed the kids involved in other illegal activities such as counterfeiting money and breaking into houses. Due to these causes the show was only broadcast about one year in the United States.
