When you drink and drive or live a risky life you are getting "second chances" every time you survive doing so. There was a French 30 year old that just died this past weekend because he was climbing skyscrapers and tall monuments just to make tik tok videos. He risked his own life EVERY TIME he did this until he eventually did not make it.

And sometimes death breaks the rules. What we're seeing here in this scene is called a "rally before death". There's a difference between a rally and a recovery. A recovery is when the person is actually getting better, and can therefore sit up in bed in the hospital and talk to you. A rally us when the person intuitively knows they are about to die. So they gather up all their adrenaline to sit up and say one last goodbye; because they might know it's the end. And then they do indeed die. A rally can often be mistaken for a recovery; which is what they're showing in this scene. This unfortunately does happen in real life.

I remember going out to dinner with my parents as a child. My dad would always drink with dinner. If he had gotten pulled over, I'm certain he would have failed a lot of breathalyzers. Fortunately he drove carefully and never aroused suspicion. I remember him driving a different route one night when he noticed there was a check point on the main road.

@wallypalmer47043 жыл бұрын
@@darth_kal-el Actually, you will not find the words "separation of church and state" anywhere in the Constitution. The Constitution forbids the establishment of a government sponsored religion (so the government cannot give preferential treatment to one religion over another), but nowhere do the words "separation of church and state" appear. I believe it was Jefferson who referred to "separation of church and state" in some of his writings, but again, not in the Constitution. Truthfully, there is a lot more to it than the school system simply removing God. It started in the home before it made its way into the schools. Morals and values have declined rapidly in the last 50 years. Some say we've become enlightened, but IMO it's hard to look at the state of the world today and call us anything resembling enlightened.

i've lived with the consequences of drunk driving for 51 years. I was in the hospital for pneumonia when I was three. My father was on his way to the hospital to see me when he was killed by a drunk driver. I remember when this episode aired and unfortunately my thoughts were "good for him, he got what he deserved." i was young, still full of anger for my father being taken from me and the guy driving was still walking the streets. Got older, a little wiser, and learned you cannot keep that anger and hatred burning in your heart. You have to let it go so you can live your life. I know it's what my father would have wanted.

This was so powerful because we (80’s teenagers) grew up under the first intensive drinking and driving awareness campaigns. When out with your friends it wasn’t something people were yet thinking about. The penalties weren’t as stiff back then and the legal BAL was higher than .08. When you’re a teenager you need things like this constantly drilled into your head, and this was a bold step by the producers to speak directly to us. I remember watching this episode and how quiet it was in our living room. My sister was crying and I was in shock, it was so unexpected. My parents and us kids had a very honest talk about it afterward. Definitely one of the more memorable moments in sitcom history.

This was very courageous by abc and growing pains and the cast, especially Tracy, gave us a timeless piece of TV. For a comedy to dig this deep is an enormous credit to the actors who delivered on the sensibilities of the time but also transcends generations into present day. Thank you to this channel for sharing it.

Scenes like this were precisely why I didn’t do drugs or drink and drive as a teenager. These days, shows seem to glorify terrible and toxic behavior. Back then, they tried to teach kids important lessons. For some of us who paid attention, it worked. I wonder how many lives shows like this ended up saving. Even if it was just one, it was worth it.

Very powerful scene. Amazing acting that as soon as you see Mike standing in the kitchen doorway, the face says everything. Apparently in the original broadcast instead of just putting up the "Growing Pains" title card at the end, a statistic was posted saying how many people had died in drinking/driving incidents during the length of the episode. Back then the numbers were staggeringly high.

It's because right wingers get triggered too much when serious topics are introduced in shows. They don't like their antiquated world views being questioned. So they automatically whine and say to leave politics out of it, or some BS like that.
@dantheman81036 жыл бұрын
Actually it's because most sitcoms in the 80's and 90's that tackled this stuff did it heavy handid or too simplistically and people got tired of being preached too and not getting a realistic portrayal of issues (yeah ones like this one were done better but most "very special episodes" did not do it as well or as realistically, which is why ones like this are remembered and not the 30 other episodes of shows that didn't do a good job with it), it also didn't help that viewers started being turned off by watching something that was billed as being funny then spending a whole episode feeling bad. So ratings suffered and TV at the end of the day is a business. So when it started hurting ratings they moved away from them. It isn't because Right Wingers stopped it, and anyone who watches TV today would know that the vast majority of shows are clearly not trying to appeal to Right Wing views.

This scene is probably the greatest acting I've ever seen in a sitcom. The parents not knowing how to react, Carol not knowing how to process the information. Even Mike having to deliver the news. All of it was spot on. Honestly this is the scene that hammered home "don't drink and drive" when I was a kid. I was crying watching all of this and it gave me chills. It's been something like 15 years since I first saw this... and I'm still teary eyed listening to the pain in her voice.

Mom and baby were killed.
