A Very Special Episode
We've heard it before, and we'll hear it again.
A throaty male voice and a splashy montage of teasers alert us to:
A Very Special Episode
So, tonight on The OC, we'll be treated to a "very special episode" where Seth...oh my God...appears to smoke a left handed cigarette!!!
The teasers show him opening his desk drawer, revealing three fat ones.
I know it's been about ten years since I puffed the Magic Dragon, but who smokes joints anymore???
Let's at least be realistic and have Sandy bust him with a four foot graphix bong or a hookah or something...but joints???
Even more realistic, let's have Sandy swipe the grass from Seth and go veg on the patio with Kirsten and a couple spliffs...
Enough about that.
What's your favorite "very special episode"?
The two that come to my mind are of course:
The "Child Molestation" episode of Different Strokes, where the late Gordon Jump plays "a relative" that while "playing" with Arnold and Joey, asks them "why don't we just take our shirts off for a while?"
The "Speed" episode of Saved by the Bell where Jesse goes into rehab for "caffeine pills". "I'm so excited...."
How about you? What are your favorite "very special episodes"?

Ha! Those were truly quite special.
All I can think of at the moment is an episode of Punky Brewster where her friend like almost dies because they were playing hide and seek and she hid in an old refridgerator and closed the door... I think the point was... not to do that?
Oh, and does the episode of Blossom when she got her first period count? I found that one quite touching...
Oh, and... "who smokes joints anymore?" Ahem, cough - couldn't tell ya. Cough. But really, who cares that much about the kids smokin joints anymore? Especially in California? I thought the little whipper snappers were all into the harder stuff like the X and the meth these days. You'd think they'd do more of a rich kid drug on The OC like OxyContin or something... but I don't know, I've actually never watched an episode and think I'm too far behind to start now.
Let's not forget the Punky Brewster "Trapped in the Refrigerator" episode...
...or the episode of Family Ties where Uncle Ned (played by Tom Hanks) has a drinking problem.
Oh!
What about the Family Ties that's just Alex in darkened vignettes....didn't someone die?
Skippy?
Skippy!! NOOOOOOooooooooo!!! Skippyyyyyyyy!!!!!
Actually, I think it was one of Alex's friends...drunk driving accident or something...
