The Bicycle Man: Arnold and Dudley go to a bicycle store, to only be in the grasp of a child molester.

Unknown Title: Willis gets cocaine.
Unknwon Title: Willis meets a girl that acts like a drug addict, but the surprise may just be on Willis.
Unknown Title: Arnold's friends are caught using steroids.

Cool

There was also an episode where Arnold and someone else (Willis, Dudley or Sam, can't remember) befriend a street entertainer who has epilepsy - which was revealed only when she had a fit in front of them. I remember this episode (from MANY years ago) because that was the first time I ever knew about epilepsy.

This might sound stupid but what is epilepsy?

BTW, Arnold was with Sam.

Yeah that episode was called "A Special Friend" and it was Arnold and Sam. It also said in the episode that Pearl had epilepsy.
For anyone who hasn't seen it you should, it is a realy good episode.

First of all... Willis never used cocain... he was caught using pot, second off.. the one where he meets a drug addict, that's Under Cover Lover, and i believe that she was an undercover cop trying to solve the drug problem in schools and that's the ep where she WANTS willis to get her some cocain but he never did, and third off... arnold and his friends were never caught using steroids, arnold did a story abotu the football team who WAS using steroids! just thought i'd clear some things up!

Of course there was the episode entitled the hitchhikers where Arnold and Kimberly got kidnapped. There was also an episode called the magician where Arnold ends up several stories on the ledge of a building. There's the one with Nancy Reagan about drugs in Arnold's school. And also there was Sam's missing where Sam got kidnapped from some crazy guy. In answer to an earlier question epilepsy is a disease where people have uncontrollable seizure's. Fortunately though there is medication that can help to lessen the frequency of the seizures.
