Does anyone know if Nick will be airing this episode or is it too controversial. I feel that if they air the Uncle Ned episode than they can air this one!

They have to. When TV Guide had it's Top 100 TV Show Episodes this was in there. It's not obscene or anything.

Ugh, I hate this episode -- it's so precious and pretentious. Alex's "best friend" dies, but we've never seen that so-called friend before on the show. I hate when shows do this -- bring on a character just for the sake of something horrible happening to them.

I agree with you. I thought it was very phony of them to do this. The only way this episode could've worked is if they killed off Skippy.

I love this episode, and even taking it into consideration that it had no real impact on the rest of the show because "Greg" was right, they just did it to have something horrible happen, but it was great and should be aired, despite the controversy that it causes.
