The ep in season 7 when sam and arnold were friends with a street performer and they were cracking jokes about her seizure. Arnold was in High School in season 7 and this ep made Arnold look ******** for joking about something so serious. I turned it off right after I saw that scene, very stupid to put IN THE SCRIPT

I agree. Knowing Arnold, he shouldn't have been doing that. However, there are high school aged kids who behave (or misbehave) just like little kids. Age has nothing to do with maturity. But as far as Arnold, yep, so true, he was not the type of person to have been doing that. It was not in his nature.

And I didn't even criticize Sam because he was just following Arnold. Which led to them finding out Pearl had Epilepsy

So true.

Sam is younger, but he was not brought up that way. It was not in his nature either to behave that way.

Pearl having Epilepsy reminds me of Booker from Good Times who seemed to have everything that everyone else had: Lung cancer, he was adopted, etc. :lol:

True, but Jimmie Walker in real life had a gorgeous wife. Arnol...I mean Gary Coleman is still a virgin to this day. At least he claims to be.

Just watched the ep again, and they both realized that a relayionship wouldn't work because they had nothing in common. When trying to decide where to go on a Saturday Night, Arnold wanted to hang out at the Burger Joint and Lisa liked going to the Opera and that's when they decided to forget anything-lol

The ep in season 7 when sam and arnold were friends with a street performer and they were cracking jokes about her seizure. Arnold was in High School in season 7 and this ep made Arnold look ******** for joking about something so serious.

Actually, Arnold was in the eighth grade when that situation took place. However, he was 14. So you may have a point to what you are saying. Maybe Arnold was just naive about the matter. I remember seeing this on NBC back in 85'. To me, it looked like he did not know that it was a serious thing. I thought that he thought that Karen was joking.

Even more shocking : the quality (or lack of) of the act the street performer puts on. LOL
