I wouldn't call Mean Girls a "great show" in the same sense of others on this list, but it does the same thing - in one of the only songs I can listen to from the show, "World Burn," the entire ENSEMBLE screams the word when reading from the Burn Book. It's not a great moment for the show, and I always mute my speaker for that one second when I listen to the song. It's also pretty egregious considering they changed the line in that same song where Regina calls herself a sl*t, supposedly because it was "too offensive," although I think it's just because of the rhyme with "Regina is a fugly cow/Hey Cady, how ya like me now"."
Comparing the two shows, I think Mean Girls' use of the word is a little more justified, since it's being used in a malicious way within the context of the show (being read out of a book used to bully classmates). When it's used in The Prom, it's the button of the song, as if it's supposed to get a laugh or something.
Ditto what someone said earlier about the child p**n scene in Mean Girls.
