I wonder if anyone out there has the Adoption episode. I wanna see what the big deal is with that one.
I think I just lost it when the mother pulled the pin, realized she threw the pen then throws it to her kid. XD OMG that so would NOT fly today, but that is so damn funny!
there should be a classic nickelodeon channel with only the old shows and Commercials
This episode was the second one banned in Canada.
@ultimatemegadeath – I heard that!
LMAO It’s a good line.
@disconnected22 D’IIII HEARD THAT! i’m one of those kids and i don’t really like what they give!
@disconnected22 lmao that is so true!!!!!!
@disconnected22 Not just kids, parents as well.
I love how I can watch my professor on TV from the 80s…hilarious! ohhhh Justin
@irelandsalvo Why do they call her Moose?
“Divorce” also known as a legal alternative to murder.
@disconnected22 kids today aren’t pussies; if anything, kids back then were. Who do you think are the ones complaining about violence on TV today? The kids back then, who couldn’t handle this stuff.
@disconnected22
Its not that kids are pussies. Its the idiotic “think of the children” mentality of the adults in charge that is the problem.
@disconnected22
It’s true but the sad thing is its OUR generation that are raising the little cockgoblins. I think it was the “self esteem” craze of the 90’s. Everyone’s special my ass. Everyone’s an asshole.
@irelandsalvo they called her Moose cause she would use a
lot of it in her hair
Thanks for this one
Thank you SO MUCH for posting!!!! Brought back great memories
Why was this episode so controversial that it was banned from the U.S.?
@irelandsalvo “They always called Christine “Moose,” but I thought she was pretty!”
It was an oxymoron–as a joke, a juxtaposition. They called her “Moose” ’cause she was so little!
Bring this show back and get rid of all that foolishness from today.
Thank you for posting this. I grew up watching this. Those were the good ole days when shows were really good.
@X23109 SNL use to have the same a similar kind of preemptions in there 4th and 5th season
I always remember this coming on and then the brittish cartoon Dangermouse would come on after
I think we coddle too much. Kids are much smarter than we give them credit for and can take it.
And to think this particular episode was considered controvercial back in the day.
