What were some of the most disturbing episodes of the show for you?

The bicycle man two-parter and the other two-parter in which Arnold and Kimberly go hitchhiking. And of course the ones where Sam is kidnapped.

Oh, yeah, gotta be Bicycle Man. Anytime you see it, it's gross. Esp. part 2.

Also what was that one where Kimberly and (was it?) Arnold were abducted? I haven't see it for awhile.

"The Hitchhikers"

I agree with everything that has been mentioned so far. I was also creeped out by the "Van Drummonds" episode and I found the "Bulimia" episode to be particularly sad especially when considering Dana Plato's personal problems.

The thing about the hitching episode that sticks out in my mind is hearing Maggie say to Pearl, "we had better get out little behinds out of site"! I thought that she had a very cute voice and displayed a lot of spunk. Good for her!

The Season 5 episode where willis moves out on his own with his friend who has a drinking problem ,later in the episode they got into a car accident and willis finds out his friend died very effective and moving episode.

The bicycle man episodes were meant to be a teaching moment for children. There was a short editorial before the episode began.
What creeps me out is the laugh tracks that are in this episode. None of it is funny and there should not have been laugh tracks during any of it.

I always hated Sam so I always enjoyed the kidnapping episode :lol:

Yeah I'd like to know what the audience was on something or were just not aware of the episodes topic, or the heartless sound engineer just added additional laughter in post.

Good point about the laugh track. I don't know if those episodes were taped with an audience--but they shouldn't have been, and no laugh track added.

"Bicycle Man" and "The Hitchhikers" were disturbing.

I always liked the Bulimia episode, and also the episodes were the boys were in the bank robbery.
