What episodes will Nick at Nite skip? - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

The Obsolete Man · 03-04-2001, 10:22 PM

Facts of Life fans know what I'm talking about...

Nick has become notorious for refusing to air certain episodes because of content... such as FOL's "Dope" and "The First Time", or the Laverne and Shirley episode involving Marijuana. We've accepted it, and are happy to be seeing any of the series at all... however, that don't mean we necessarily like it.

Now, I'd love to believe that Nick will show all Diff'rent Strokes episodes, but knowing Nick, it won't happen.

Anybody wanna make a bet on which episodes will never see the light of day?

My bet... The Bicycle Man. If Natalie losing her virginity doesn't make the cut, a child molester certainly won't...

Bummer.

Knowing them they will cut out the serious topics. I've been wanting to see FOL's "Dope" episode. I hope N@N will show it.

There are only 3 that I can think off the top of my head that they would skip:

the 2 part Gordon Jump episode
the episode where Willis buys pot

and perhaps the last season episode where Arnold is a reporter and people are taking steroids at his school

TJ the bad think about NAN possibly skipping that steroids ep is that that was the last episode. I hope they do air the ep with Mr. Horton(Gordon Jump). The one line I remember from that ep is when Arnold or Dudley said "He tried to touch me". I actually talked to Dudley(Shavar Ross) and he said it was he that had that line.

The thing about the last episode is that there was no finality to it though so you wouldn't be missing a 'goodbye' or 'farewell' episode. I think there may have been a couple more episodes they filmed (or maybe just in the planning stages) which were never aired anywhere because they did not have a full order of episodes the last season.

Well, I think Nick will probably skip at least 5 episodes. The 2 part episodes about the child molestor and pot. And also the one about steriods. Also, the episode about bulimia may be skipped. I'm glad to see that "The Fight" was aired. TV Land skipped a similar related theme when they ran The Munsters.
