The kid with AIDS was Duane. Other episodes, aside what you have mentioned, that stood out were the ones that spoke to abortion (one of the twins) and dating other races (basketball player... and ?) - great show and way ahead of its time. Makes me want to go and search out episodes on DVD.
I seem to recall hearing that when PBS picked up the series, the abortion show may have been banned in the USA.

BLT and Michelle.
I always enjoyed the story of Yick, from nerdy Asian kid to try hard thug asian kid. Pretty much summed up half of my high school.

Then best thing about this series was in the "School's Out!" special when Snake dropped the eff bomb that would change the face of Canadian television forever. It was bold, in your face and in prime time. CBC really showed their stones with that one.
Wasn't the first F-bomb in prime time on Kids in the hall. during the infamous Cabana Boy skit?
Of course it was shoking on Kids in the hall.

i can understand Joey in this case, she was dirty and ready to go and he was getting shot down by Caitlan.. the twins didnt add much to the show...
she was good to go, she used the old food fight seduction on Joey the Dirty vixen, what's a guy gonna do, I've always told my significant other that if a hot chick throws food in my face that I'm totally helpless and not responsible for my actions.
Then I'm single again

Well yeah, but you hear a guy in his 30s died of 'natural causes' and there were complications and then everyone does their best to cover it up and ya gotta wonder, this guy probably didnt die with his pants on....
Reading some of his bio, it said his mother was an alcoholic. I am sure she probably didn't want any more attention focused on that aspect of her life.
Still I find it hard to imagine that nobody knew, besides I suppose the show's producers who apparently did.

Sure they did, by getting pregnant and having an abortion one of the twins was able to expertly illustrate one of the greatest truths in life. That no matter how ugly a chick is, someone is still willing to bang her.

There may have been more than 1 F-bomb, but I certainly remember the big one being Caitlin saying "You're F-ing Tessa Campanelli?".

I thought it was in the "Fine Ham Abounds" skit:
Quote:
[Family eating a ham dinner at the dinner table]
Mark: Mmmm, mm. Honey, this is a great ham steak! Just the way I like it, nice and thick and fried. Dave: Thanks hun. Enjoying your ham steak yet, Bob? Bruce: Yeah I like it, it's really ######ing good. Ooh, oops, I mean--fine ham abounds, mom. Dave: "Well you know what I do to make it so, fa, fa, f fa fa - said the 'F-word', seven pounds four ounces, now he says the 'F-word' at the dinner table. Mark: Okay, you listen to me little guy. You don't curse under my roof, you don't curse on my roof or in front of my wife, you got that? Bruce: Why dad, it's just a word! I can use my own words, and think my own thoughts! Mark: Shut up Bobby. Bruce: Why, do you want this place to be like...Tiananmen Square? Well I'm sorry dad, I won't live in your...microwave oven world any longer. You people have carpet on your hearts! Mark: Sit down and shut up. Bruce: No dad-it's the truth-look at that ham. It's flavorful, it's juicy, it's well prepared...it's the universal truth...that's F'IN' GOOD HAM, DAD! Mark: Oh I get it, you think you're big enough to take on your old man, huh? Bruce: [hesitation...] ...Yes?
[Mark punches Bruce]
I must be one of the few people who never watched this show.
Add me to the list. I some how feel I neglected myself of a giant aspect of Canadiana. I was more a Beachcombers kid. Bruno Gerussi was a childhood hero to me.
Looks like I am going to have to find the series on VHS, and bring myself up to speed. I still have an old CRT television kicking around to authenticate the experience.

The f-bomb was either Caitlin asking joey if he screwed her or Joey yelling at her that he screwed her. I forget exactly which, but in my memory it's Joey yelling at her saying that he screwed her.

As a kid, I was too embarassed to say I watched this show ... I mean come on, it was on CBC .... the only things worth watching on CBC were HNIC and Sesame Street (although, I will admit, I did watch The Beachcombers on a regular basis .... Relic was cranky like my old man).
