Don't know and didn't read the thread, but I'm dating a girl who grew up with Shannon Price, Gary Coleman's wife.
Ask me anything you want to know... btw, she's a redhead and there's speculation Gary didn't "Fall" down the stairs.

Swear to God I saw Gary Coleman at McCarran Airport (before he died) dressed as a cowboy. It was weird.

Used to see him doing security at the front of a store in the Fox Hills Mall in Ladera Heights (LA) in the 90s...

I thought his friend got molested? I remember the episode, but not much detail other than the porn cartoons he had them watch.

I saw that episode, creeped me the fuck oooouuuutttt! Loved Mr Carlson on WKRP, but never liked him again after that. They had him come to a Boy Scout jamboree in KS when I was 12. After that molesting episode I decided I didn't want to meet him and wished they had sent Jonny Fever.

It's all related to the mental trauma of discovering that turkeys can't fly. He was a broken man who turned to the darker side of his nature.

He would have slipped and said booger while talking to the Scouts.

That's more shocking than when APK and Jessie got hooked on speed or when Kelly took a hit on the joint.

"They don't fire you for saying "booger" anymore. However, they DO fire you for saying "mother fucker."

[He mouthed it in the show, but it was pretty clear what the words were.]

I remember the episode where Kimberly robbed a video store with a pellet gun and ended up dying of a drug overdose.

Wait.

What do you mean that wasn't an episode of a TV show?

I think it was the same episode where she posed for Playboy and showed her vaj but NOT her tits.

Maybe it was a very special special 2 part episode?

I remember it.

I also remember the Willis smokes pot episode, the what's her butt does pills episode on saved by the Bell.

Weren't there a bunch of aids related episodes? I forget the exact shows. So many were damn near clones.

I do remember the blonde bitch with bangs on Charles in charge. God I wanted her ugly ass so bad.

Eta: meh, I'd still hit it.

Mr. D was too much of a gentleman for that but he was certainly a stand up guy. He wasn't afraid to confront anybody.

Quote History

Quoted:
EVERY sitcom had one or 2 serious episodes in a season. Generally the ad spots had the words "very", "special", "episode/show title." Or some combination. It became a running joke - that's where the whole "Very special special very special very very special episode of a very special ...." comes from.

TV in the 70's, 80's, and 90's - if you are young, don't ask. If you are old, just suppress the memories. And if you were involved in the TV business back then, choke on a dick.

Diff'rent Strokes had a Kimberly almost gets raped episode, in addition to the bicycle man molester episode.

Also, one when Arnold gets robbed and another when Willis' new girlfriend is a narc trying to bust coke dealers in school.

It was a pretty serious show at times, like the Jeffersons.

Yeah. Closest the Brady Bunch had was Greg smoking and having that goat over when people thought it was a chick.

I think it ended too early as none of the Brady girls got knocked up.

i remember an episode in which arnold's stepbrother mocked a handicapped girl by flopping around like a fish. arnold was dying laughing. one of of them shouted something about milkshakes and that's how they are made. the stepmother caught them and got pretty pissed. kinda expected more from arnold seeing he was pals with that girl in the wheelchair that was just a head.
