Very Special Episodes that never were
- “Reefer Madness Comes To Eastland” - The Facts of Life Jo’s miscreant cousin from across the tracks gives each of the girls a marijuana. Jo goes insane and is admitted to a psychiatric hospital, Natalie tears her face off and is disfigured for life, Tootie jumps off of a bridge, and Blair gets addicted and is forced into prostitution to support her habit.
- “Getting Real about Economics in the Future” - Star Trek: The Next Generation. In a money-less, post-scarcity, fully egalitarian society, why do some people end up commanding starships and others end up tending bar, teaching nursery school, or swabbing down the holodecks after Riker used them? Are there really no social classes in the future?
- “Shaggy goes to rehab”. Shaggy realizes that his so-called “friends” have actually been been enabling and manipulating his addiction to “Scooby Snacks” in order to get him to engage in risky behavior against his better judgement. With the help of his therapist he escapes Fred, Daphne and Velma’s toxic influence and starts a new substance free life with his faithful mutt.
- “Fish’s Funeral”: Barney Miller detective Philip Fish is found unresponsive, sitting on the toilet in the 13th Precinct’s detectives room, and declared dead. The other members of the 13th attend Fish’s wake, reminiscing about their curmudgeonly, world-weary colleague and friend, when Fish suddenly sits up in the open casket, grumbling, “Why does everybody always think I’ve died?”
- “Adam’s Homecoming:” - Bonanza - Adam Cartwright returns to the Ponderosa ranch, only to find that his father and brothers have all passed away. Just before the end of the episode, a crazed Hop Sing comes out of nowhere and stabs Adam with a cleaver.
