Alex P. Keaton had expierimented with ecstacy which I thought he was on the verge of addicting. Family Guy boy's liked to get high on this like cough syrup and sold Meg to the pharmacist!!! Catlover, I thought when you typed Barney Gumble I thought you typed Bryant Gumbel.

For all we know, he might be, because no one watches that CBS morning show. We don't know what he's doing!!

How could I forget the infamous "Jessie is addicted to caffeine pills" on Saved by the Bell?? Idiot me!!

Archie became addicted to "uppers" on ALL IN THE FAMILY once.

MASH once had a soldier who was addicted to morphine.

And on MURPHY BROWN, Murphy was a recovering alcoholic.

EVERYONE should have been alcoholics on BEWITCHED, with the amount of drinking that went on there; a lot of times!

Grace's assistant on Will & Grace. Sorry, I thought everyone knew who she was. LOL

Also, can't believe I forgot Mary Richards being addicted to sleeping pills in "Mary's Insomnia," season 7. One of my all-time favorite episodes of TMTMS!

Oh, Grace Kelly from Grace Under Fire was a recovering alcholic and so was Roseanne's mom, Beverly.

Someone mentioned Family Guy...how about Brian?

There's been a recent edit war on the Wikipedia page for Full House character Danny Tanner in which someone claims that he had a problem with alcohol. I've seen almost every episode of Full House and don't remember that at all.

Can someone here confirm or deny the Danny/alcohol issue.

sunshinefizzy · 04-06-2007, 11:27 AM

Brian was one of the guys even though he's a dog.
