Will Nick at Nite wuss out and NEVER show the Bicycle man episode in which Dudley gets molested? Will they wuss out and NEVER show Kimberly's bulimia episode?? My guess is yes on both counts. Not too controversial for the 80s, but too much to handle in 2001?!?! Give me a f-in break!

Nick I guess thinks their channel should be Mr. Rogers Neighbor Hood. If Nick won't show these episodes, they need to go back to the black and white shows from the 50's and 60's.

I used to watch these episodes on weekday afternoons when I was six years old. I think it's stupid that a nightime cable network doesn't show something like this almost twenty years later. If anything, wouldn't an episode like 'The Bicycle Man' teach kids to stay away from such people ?

N@N is for adults, it ain't meant for kids, but kids watch it.

The Bulimia episode will certainly air at some point, but I wouldn't hold my breath for the Bicycle Man episodes.

Could it be an NBC/ABC syndication issue as to why certain eps wouldn't get aired.

Having said that as Mr Brady said logic & reasoning, good calm reasoning are the order of the day.

If Diff'rent Strokes & Facts of Life, etc had "controversial" eppies that were not supposed to be aired on Slick Nic then Why is Archie Bunker still aired? As the Good Book says there surely must be confusion in the Nik at Nite camp. Amen &

Will Lennie Bremen rise again?
