9. Boy Meets World – Cult Fiction
While growing up, every kid goes through that moment in which their best friend joins a cult. Thus, it made perfect sense for Boy Meets World to tackle this universal issue in the episode “Cult Fiction.” Shawn is preyed upon by “The Centre,” a group of Heavens Gate wannabes. Shawn is saved from his cruel fate when his father figure Mr. Turner is nearly killed in a motorcycle accident. It is then that Shawn realizes what’s really important and quits the cult, only to never check in on Mr. Turner or even mention his recovery in the show’s remaining 3 seasons. Kids.
10. Family Matters – Like a Virgin
One week in 1994, Family Matters, in a noble effort, decided to tackle the issue of sexual promiscuity. That’s all well and good, save for the hilariously cringe-worthy scene in which EVERY SINGLE ONE of Eddie’s 15 classmates mocks him for still being a virgin. Geez, you miss one party and nobody lets you forget it…
11. Punky Brewster – Cherie Lifesaver
Ah yes, the infamous episode of Punky Brewster in which a child gets stuck in a discarded refrigerator. Henry discovers the girl just in time, and then inexplicably stands around while little Punky performs CPR. After the episode ends, a voice-over explains that CPR should only be performed by certified professionals. You mean like 9-year-old girls with pigtails?
