If they mention Hulk Hogan at the beginning, this was probably just after the launch of Hulkamania. Also, it was very interesting to see Alanis Morissette long before she was famous.
Alasdair Gillis was taking over as host over Lisa in most of the 1986 season. He will leave during the 1987 season, though. There was no 1988 season, which was strange, though.
1:50 - 2:00, "only an idiot would say that word in front of a FIRING squad." Yes it's not "Fire" but from the kid's reaction I wonder if maybe there wasn't more to that sketch which got cut for time reasons. It seems like in the last second he gets this expression of "OH CRAP I SAID FIRE" and then you cut to the hallway of the school.
@cainster There's nothing cut. The joke is that what happens next is left to the viewer's imagination (ie. we know he said "fire" and he's just slowly realizing it too as the sketch just ends....).
YAY! I loved this show when I was a kid. But I never realized how brutal it was by today's standards. I mean psycho principals attacking children with sub machine guns?? Love it! And a the skit wiht the kid in front of a firing squad!?!? they could not get away with that today for sure! All i know is some 25 years later it is still funny as hell
Now we know why this episode, at least, will never be shown on TV. Guns in school, even toy ones, would never be seen on a kids show these days. I think most everyone would take that skit differently nowadays than they did pre - Columbine.
It's a great skit anyway. I'm not going to let 10 million real life school shooters spoil it for me. The whole episode is great.
He actually wrote the entire 1989-90 season episodes for real but he appears as himself (as the show's staff writer) in the 1989 Punishment episode if that's what you're thinking of.

It's funny back in the 80s we had the cold war and used to be afraid of the Russians. Wow this show makes me feel even older now :)

@midgetgirl5 The kids kept coming back because the joke was that Barthy's was the closest place to eat from the studio where the "show taped."
