Best Mr. Bradley/John Lawlor episode. - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

I don't think I ever seen a post for for the best of Mr. Bradley/John Lawlor on this board. Since Mr. Bradley was in all 13 episodes of the first season and Miss Mahoney has her own best of poll, I think Mr. Bradley deserves one too.

I voted Flash Flood as Mr. Bradley's best episode. He shows that he really cared about the girls and knew how to break Blair's crush on him. If he really was the perv that some people thought he was, he would have taken advantage of Blair.

The Return of Mr. Garrett was the best episode

I voted for "Running". He had a big role in that episode, and even though he drove everyone crazy, you gotta admit he clearly loved the school.

Really? He was a total jerk that Ep I thought. The most unlikable of any main char in the series during that.

I said iq because he may have been a jerk but seeing him freak out cuz of Mrs G was very funny and he admits he was wrong about basing so much on iq tests.

In "IQ", he does admit he was wrong... at the very end, much like in "Running".

I voted Flash Flood. I agree with 80s, it was his best episode

I voted for 'Molly's holidays': i love how MR BRADLEY changed his mind, after Molly was devastated over her parent's divorce and said, "when one of our girls is hurt so am i, and so i had to come back!" (he said something similar, but i cannot recall the sentence)

I thought about that one, but I decided against it, since he barely appears in that episode.

When John did his interview for the E! True Hollywood Story, he mentioned episodes where he was barely in the episode, and worrying about his job, and that the producers hated him. "Molly's Holiday" is a good example of an episode where Mr. Bradley gets "Nancied": he's absent for most of the episode, and then shows up when it's too late, and the problem has already been resolved by Mrs. Garrett.

Exactly. He's at his most unlikable there.

I voted "Flash Flood" because I think it's his most screen time and lines, and the meatiest episode for him because of the different sides and emotions he shows. It's neat seeing him being headmaster and really worrying about the school and the girls and doing his best to save everything.
