Mulligan Stew is on EBAY

Did they do an episode on puberty which even included a subtle reference to masturbation? I remember watching such a video in 5th grade (and having absolutely no idea what they were talking about) but I can't remember whether it was Mulligan's Stew.

Never heard that before. That's a new one on me if they did.

Without Mulligan Stew, there would be no Beatles, there would be no Rolling Stones.

Oddly enough, Mulligan's stew is not very nutritious :D

@EstelleVEdwards Yes, I saw that particular episode too. One of the Mulligan kids called him a "sissy" for not fighting back initially. But then the kid surprised everyone by kicking the knife outta the bully's hand, fighting back and sending the whole gang to the ground, doubled over holding their guts and groaning in pain. As I recall, this bully would pull a knife and tell kids to fork over their lunch money (basically armed robbery), and the fighting back was what put a stop to it.

@wannawatchu66 - Yes, somebody needs to find that show and upload a few of the episodes. I recall the episode where one of the adopted kids was having problems with a school bully and his gang. The ironic thing was that the adopted kid knew martial arts, but he was trying to heed his real father's teaching of 'animals react; men think'...about dealing with problems, I guess. Apparently the kid had respect for his father who believed in peaceful measures. In the end, the kid had to fight, though.

I clicked on this thinking it was the NBC show of the same name that debuted in the Fall of '77.

@aliensporebomb I recall that ep. I recall wanting to join the others because I hated being laughed at.

[uofmrules1]

@okbass I learned that. I was attracted to Maggie when I watched the show, but she was older back then then I was when I watched it.
