’90s And 2000s Sitcom TV Tropes That Aged Poorly

“[Referencing the caffeine pill episode of Saved by the Bell] I just looked this up because it seemed so absurd as a premise for a very special episode. I dropped No-Doze almost every morning in high school which…yeah, wasn’t, like, the healthiest thing in the world, but it’s by no means some debilitating addiction.

So, I watched the scene dumbfounded, did some more research on the episode, and then realized that the caffeine pills were originally supposed to be amphetamines, but the network censored that idea away.”

“There was a government office that would literally give shows free money to produce these ‘very special’ episodes.”
