I never understand why this episode is mocked. I think it dealt with a serious issue.

^^^ I don't get it either. Sadly a few of my family members are no strangers to drugs.

God bless you and my family always!!!

P.S. I wonder how the anti drug commercial episode with that Johnny Dakota guy is looked at since Jesse happens to tell about her experience in it.

I loved that episode and the scene between Jessie and Zack. He was a true friend. I can see how that can happen. Jessie was under a lot of pressure.

Fans love that scene and its one of the most remembered of the show.

I know what you mean. I think people just thought it, like many SBTB episodes, was an easy target for being made fun of. But you are right, it touched on a serious issue, and people who made fun of it were kind of on some "high horse" like they were too "cool" for it (yeah, which is why they watched each SBTB episode at least twice) were missing the point.

People always want to look cool by making fun of something.
