The anti-hitchhiking episode where Kimberly and Arnold are held prisoner by some guy who wants to, like, stroke Kimberly's hair or something? (I'm SURE he didn't want to actually have sex with her...) The one where some creepy dude shows Arnold and Dudley a video of sexy naked mice and then touches Dudley in bad places?

Though at least in terms of that show, it made sense that the housekeeper was black. On <I>Gimme a Break</I> the premise was that Nell Carter was the dead wife's friend . . . and then to help raise the kids, she becomes the housekeeper? That's just awkward.<BR/><BR/>Also, the Belv was out of control Sadahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11794091589222172196noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2397815097926128176.post-32783548930083582042008-07-09T14:00:00.000-07:002008-07-09T14:00:00.000-07:00Another great story.

And of course, being educated in the late 80s/early 90s meant that all of the adults were terrified that we would all become crack addicts. So the anti-smoking/drugs crusades were well thought out.
