Michael Jackson learned to give kids "Jesus juice" to loosen them up for a dicking from watching that episode. I liked the episodes where Arnold smoked crack and Sam got kidnapped and Kimberley got kidnapped too on separate occasions. Seriously what the fuck was up with that show?

What about the episode of Family Ties where Justine Bateman's Uncle keeps fondling her and open mouth kissing her and she tells her parents and they're like "Hey, stop molesting our daughter or we're gonna get mad." and he's like "lolokay" and the episode ends and they never speak of it again like the script was written by Tommy Wiseau? That was pretty good.

there was also a Facts of Life where some perv was taking swimsuit pics of the girls. Mrs. Garret even used the word "child pornography"

speaking of which. there was an afterschool special about child porn that I beat off to constantly in junior high. "Fallen Angel." The one where the guy gives a girl a puppy in exchange to get naked with a boy and make out. holy fuck.

>>84228176
and each one has Bob Saget pretending to be serious about something which is unwatchable to me now.

>>84228206

The way that episode really should have gone is

That was basically all there was to be afraid of. Now they don't gotta be afraid of shit.

>Diff'rent Strokes featured some very special episodes that involved child molestation, child pornography, pedophilia, hitchhiking, kidnapping, sexual assault, epileptic seizure, bullies, racism, bulimia, drunk driving and drug abuse.

>The Facts of Life , which was a spin-off of Diff'rent Strokes, often featured very special episodes that involved teen suicide, teenage marriage, breast cancer, abortion, cheating (relationship), divorce, illiteracy, hearing problems, prostitution, a teenage mother, interracial marriage and cerebral palsy.

Holy fuck. Weren't these sitcoms?

>>84228382
Anon we are all living in the very special episode where little Tommy starts hanging out on the internet with a bunch of cyberbullies

>>84228659

Family Ties was similar - aside from the Tom Hanks alcoholism story, there was Alex's best friend killing himself, leading to a two-part avant-garde shitfest of high melodrama.

>>84228717

Well, it was a very different little Tommy that is the key to understanding 70s/80s television - old, but good for anyone who's not familiar.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tommy_Westphall

>>84228262
Drugs and molestation fearmongering were huge in the 80's because of Nancy Reagan's Just Say No campaign and the highly publicized kidnappings like Adam Walsh. I don't know if it worked and helped kids avoid this shit, but personally I was molested and I still do drugs sometimes and I watched all of these shows.

>>84228759
Let's say I have a daydream right now that involves both Ross Gellar and George Costanza. According to Tommy theory, both Friends and Seinfeld must also be part of my daydream

>>84228881

Only if you were involved in one of those shows, or Mad About You.

Early 90s had some good ones, like Dinosaurs had an episode of Robbie getting addicted to steroids and one where he kept eating weed.

>>84228917
But Tommy was not in any other shows within his universe right?

There is Friends / Mad crossover?

>>84228933
Home Improvement had Brad getting caught smoking weed, which was extra funny if you knew that the guy so mad at him about a little weed was an irl convicted coke dealer.

>>84228949

Tommy was in St. Elsewhere, which spawned characters all over the place, and the show took place in his mind, according to the theory.

Kramer was a neighbor of Paul Reiser's character before he meets Helen Hunt in Mad about You, if memory serves - could be wrong on that.

>>84227849
yeah. once homosexuals and pedos became cool in the media

also used to watch this show and nick freno who is dead IRL

Right but he could have easily been dreaming about those characters because he watched the other shows they are on. Tommy theory is really just a hypothesis without asking the writers

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q1Y67WPezyA

>>84229044
Ursula, Phoebe's sister on Friends, was a character on Mad About You.

>>84229174

Not really - most of the, er, extrapolations, happen after Tommy's autistic moment of television glory in the series finale. The stuff about how it branches into Homicide: LotS and X-Files, for example.

He was autistic, which was a skeleton key to justify the theory - no screeching, just universe-building.

>>84228659
After All in the Family (and to a lesser extent, M*A*S*H), a lot of sitcoms felt a need to occasionally tackle "contemporary social issues" seriously, humor be damned.

The supposed "family" shows in the earlier time-slots were actually far more strongly associated with this phenomenon than were the more "adult" sitcoms airing in the later evening.

As that type of sitcom largely died out in the mid-to-late '90s, so too did the "very special episode."

I watched a rerun of Good Times the other day where JJ thinks he has VD and meets a pre fame Jay Leno at the clinic who has dick fungus.

There was an episode of Boy Meets World where Shawn joins a cult. The only cult I would have joined in the Boy Meets World universe is the cult of being Topanga's pusy slave.

>>84229472

Kate & Allie, a forgotten 80s sitcom, had several of these.

Beverly Hills 90210 was a special episode factory - I think that's where the concept ultimately died.

>No "How come he don't want me man?"

For shame /tv/.

Brooklyn Nine Nine did that racism episode and it was so out of place. It was made for school kids and the show has people getting tortured, do drugs and the regular sit com sex stuff.

I've seen it. The best part is that it's got the most inappropriate laugh track ever. It's so bad you'd think it was one of those fake edited "INNAPROPRIATE LAUGH TRACK" YouTube videos but it's 100% real.

The best "very special episode" ever was on Roseanne when Jackie gets beaten by her boyfriend and Dan finds out and beats the shit out of him. I can't find the end clip where he gets arrested and walks out of the house with fried chicken in his mouth like a boss but it's great. I'd say when he admits his mom was crazy and starts crying is one of the best too but it's way too sad and Goodman is a damn good actor so it seems too real.

English borrows a lot of words from yiddish. I personally cringe when I listen to them because it creates a mental image of wood allen talking.

After watching "An Open Secret," the Diff'rent Strokes episode about the pedophile just deeply disturbs me and destroys me.

I know we joke about shit like pedos and CP on 4chan but if there's any true, true evil in this world it's monsters who prey on children or worse - kidnap, trade and sell, and engage in sex acts with them.

Also, if you haven't see "An Open Secret" it's a documentary about the rampant pedophilia and "casting couch" for kids in Hollywood. /tv/ related. Highly recommended. It's on YouTube.

How was fresh prince so consistently good?

>>84230968
The IRS had a vested interest

>>84229633
I remember Kate and Allie, but I'm old. It was kind of on the fringe between the family stuff and the more risqué adult stuff. Things like Night Court and Cheers didn't tend to do the special episode thing.

And 90210 wasn't a sitcom. Dramas have always done the "topical"/"social-awareness" thing. Having sitcoms do it was mostly a '70s/'80s/early-'90s thing.

>>84230242
Roseanne was arguably one of the shows that contributed to killing the whole phenomenon. By treating difficult topics as a matter of routine, rather than restricting them to contrived, one-off "very special episodes" the incidents of which would never be mentioned again, it both normalized the subject matter, and helped to demonstrate just how artificial and formulaic the former practice had been.

>>84230995
What?

>>84227427
Jesus Christ. That's like Todd Solondz tier level of cringe. No wonder all those kids were so fucked up later.

>>84231001

You're right RE 90210 *but* it was a stylized Save by the Bell and ready-made for special episodes, specific to it's first two seasons.

That episode where the other nignogs didn't accept carlton because he was 'acting white' was also great social commentary that still unfortunately applies

That very special episode of The Cosby Show when Cliff taught Theo how to drug and rape women was a great one. When Doctor Huxtable says "THEO YOU GOTTA DROP THE PILL IN THE DRINK AND THE PUDDIN POP IN HER MOUTH ABWAAAAA!" I thought it was so heartwarming.

Oh shit that's the doc I was just talking about here >>84234785. Fucking scary stuff. Also how with all the evidence and pictures and testimony they have about Bryan Singer being involved with these people is he not getting arrested like yesterday? He must have some real dirt on some high ranking people. I bet he was diddled by even bigger directors and officials when he was a kid, he looks like a twink like they all do, and knows where the bodies are buried so no one can touch him.

Do yourself a favor and totally skip the last season and pray they retcon it with the new limited series that's coming out so the ending isn't the worst thing that ever aired on TV other than the finale of Dexter.

Who is the Nick star that came out and said he was molested by Brian Peck? Someone has to know.

Fallen Angel was responsible for my first boner. I remember thinking as a kid that it must be one of those rated X movies I heard about.

It's on YouTube (just google "Fallen Angel 1981").

I thought Very Special Episodes were the funniest, because they were mostly just the sitcom writers trying to be dramatic and falling flat on their face. I also love it when teen dramas do it, like when Glee had the episode where the Downs syndrome girl shot up the school, or all of Degrassi.

>>84232582
That is a cool animation.

>>84236517
Degrassi had so much of those that I just figured it was Canadians being leafy about everything.

>just google "Fallen Angel 1981"

I'd prefer to not be on any watchlists thank you.

My dad told me that it was common for vans with curtains would snatch up kids in his town growing up in the 70s. He grew up in the worst neighborhood in upstate NY though so maybe it wasnt common everywhere else.

>>84236660
I especially love laughing at recent Degrassi. Like there's one episode that's a very special episode about periods, drug abuse, cyber-bullying, and misogyny all at once.

Over doing it is the Canadian way.

I imagine living in Canada is like being trapped in a "very special episode" every day.

My all time favorite Home Improvement VSE is when Brad made a movie starring himself murdering his parents and chopping them up into pieces. The parents didn't actually know what the movie was about and when they find out, it leads to a heart-to-heart about his issues with them. Pretty sure this was a Halloween special.

The director told the audience to laugh then sync into dead silence for a split second to get the full dramatic effect. You can tell the laughs were forced. They did this a lot on sitcoms. It was a way of telling you that this sitcom, "hey" just got fucking serious.

I remember this episode as a kid. I had a major crush on Justine and that was tough to watch.

>When teenager Ted Blakely's mother Marian finds blood on his sheets, she takes him to Dr. Welby. An examination of the boy's injuries confirms that he was sexually assaulted, but Ted is too ashamed to admit it. As Dr. Welby advises Marian, Ted sneaks away and returns to school. Ted's rapist, his science teacher Bill Swanson, convinces him not to report the assault, but Ted vows to kill him should Bill ever touch him again. Ted's father George and stepmother Leah are unable to deal with Ted's assault. His father questions whether Ted could have stopped it, making Ted feel even more ashamed.

>In addition to suffering psychological trauma, Ted needs surgery to repair the internal injuries caused by the rape. With Ted in surgery, Swanson is arrested while trying to molest a child. Ted awakens and is able to admit that the assault happened and that he is ready to speak out. Dr. Welby tells him that Swanson is in custody and, per his own request, has been transferred to a mental hospital. Police sergeant Buchanan reassures George that the rape had nothing to do with homosexuality and that Ted has handled himself like "a real man"
