These are, of course, about drugs. Here are a few:

Barney Miller/"Hash" (DEc. 30, 1976): Wojo's girlfriend bakes some hash brownies and he brings them to work. The detectives eat them and get high.

Roseanne/"A Stash from the Past": Dan and Roseanne find some pot in the backyard and assume one of the kids had it, but it was theirs from years ago. (Oct. 5, 1993).

Sanford and Son/"Fred's Treasure Garden" (4th season): The one where "wild parsley" that's growing in the garden is pulled and served in a salad.

Friends/"TOW the Stoned Guy" (1st season). Restaurant owner Steve (g.s. Jon Lovitz) gets high on pot on the cab ride to the girl's apartment and gobbles down Monica's audition dinner. A classic! Steve: "Well smack my a** and call me Judy."

Here are a few about pills/speed:

Mr. Belvedere: Pills

Heather has become convinced that she's fat and decides to try diet pills, but when Marsha discovers them, she confiscates them. Meanwhile, Marsha has been studying for an exam and a bottle of amphetamines may just be what she needs to keep her alert.

WKRP in Cincinnati: Pills

A few days ago I saw "The War at Home" , episode "High Crimes".
It's a great show but I keep wondering how many people complained about this episode to FOX.I'm from Israel and we pretty much got all your shows but sometimes I don't get you - Janet's "accident" on the SuperBowl (or the N.Y.P.D Blue bare ass) is wrong but talking positively about weed for 24 minutes is O.K.
All the episodes of "That '70s Show".
