Sybarite: Diff'rent Strokes did a ton of those. Also, let's not forget...

I don't remember that one.

*waves* Hi.

jaylectricity: Anyone who says they willingly watched "Saved by the Bell" should just hang their head in shame and give up their TV's remote control.

I watched it when I was a kid. My brother and I loved to watch it. Still do try to catch some of the reruns if I can find them here and there. It was the Next Generation that killed Saved by the Bell. The original cast was actually good.

I thought Blossom's older EMT brother was a lot cooler when he was a drunk.

I was a kid... And I like to watch things now that I enjoyed as a kid cause I get a new look at it. Sometimes its funny in a cheesy way. Sometimes its just down right unwatchable. I get my fun out of watching so many old TV shows before CGI was used all the time. Heck, Power Rangers is fun to watch on the pure cheesy factor...

yves0010: The original cast was actually good.

I do not think that word means what you think it means. Even in the sense of "relative to anything else that was on at the same time", you are really stretching it. Perhaps if you meant it in the sense of "better than the nextgen cast", I would agree (though I never saw a single episode of it, so I couldn't actually say), but that in and of itself does not mean that the original cast was in fact "good".

There is a reason most of that cast went straight on to stripping for the camera after they were done with SBTB.

First thing I thought of was this. (new window)

and Speedofdarkness:

List fails without WKRP's special episode that deals with turkeys not being able to fly. fatal crowd stampedes at rock concerts.

Just watched that one yesterday. Kind of a bummer.

I see the Fark bandwagon has decided that this SBTB sucks today. Haters gonna hate and all that.

For a young kid of 5... They were good. And yes, Better then the Next Gen cast any day.

Wasn't there an episode of Family Ties where TIna Yothers character had an eating disorder. I'm really trying to remember way back on this one, but I get the feeling she was the "Meg" of the 80's.

What about the episode of growing pains where Mike Seaver has to confront the ghost of his dead great uncle to let him know he's dead?

Rev. Skarekroe: You can drink vanilla extract?

I mix mine with imitation rum.

So, yeah, the AV Club has a whole series devoted to "A Very Special Epsidoe(s)."

No "Tootie gets date raped?" No "DJ becomes anorexic?" No "Will gets shot?"

First one I thought of too.

These examples all pale in comparison to the episode of Little House on the Prairie where the girl gets raped by a clown. Nothing shall ever surpass that. Nothing. Evar.

texdent: No Riker gets most of the Enterprise addicted to that one game?

Angry Birds?

Screw you guys, SBTB was awesome. Just because you wanna hate it now in your hipster ways doesn't detract from that!

And like, wasn't the clown her dad?

Mugato: Rev. Skarekroe: You can drink vanilla extract?

It doesn't work.


Mouthwash.

Will's father returns in Fresh Prince.

God dammit.

GavinTheAlmighty: Will's father returns in Fresh Prince.

God dammit.

Yeah, that one scene. It's... kind of rough for a kid whose dad left the family.

scottydoesntknow: Mugato: Family Guy came close with Quagmire's sister as a victim of domestic abuse a couple episodes back. That was just weird.

It wasn't weird, it was cheap and unfunny (except the Iraq Lobster, I did laugh at that). I've stopped watching them completely now, which is kinda sad because I always made fun of how downhill the show went, but I always watched the DVR of the episodes because they were usually good for a couple laughs. Brian's drug trip was terrible, but I still gave it one more chance, and then the abuse episode came. I don't care to ever watch another Family Guy again.

Same here. Family Guy just about lost me when Stewie and Brian were locked in the bank vault. I shrugged it off and gave it another go. Then the domestic abuse show pops up....Wow, um ok. Then the Brian and mushrooms trip. I'm done now. Last laugh i had was the "Iraq Lobster", only laugh of the show. Heard they did some back in time to stop 9-11 show. Not interested.

They are officially off my DVR recordings list.

texdent: No. 5: Arnold vs. a pedophile on 'Diff'rent Strokes'
No. 4: Tom Hanks the alcoholic uncle on 'Family Ties'
No. 3: Punky's friend vs. a refrigerator on 'Punky Brewster'
No. 2: Jessie gets hooked on caffeine pills on 'Saved by the Bell'
No. 1: Bobby lies to Joe Namath on 'The Brady Bunch'

I haven't seen any of those shows--I mean, I have never even seen the series, except for the Brady Bunch and few episodes of Family Ties, because Michael J. Fox was cute.

I think those shows were on TV during my drunk years.
