I really, really love a lot of them (although some are just plain dumb and crappy). It gives me particular gleeful relish to see sitcom characters deal with serious things. Don't know why. But it always feels 100 times more real when it happens in a sitcom, for some reason. I guess because in dramas, shit happens all the time and it kind of just feels like part of the spectacle, whereas in sitcoms, it makes you go "whoa, shit got real!" And it feels like a much bigger deal. :D

I tend to like them more when they're not too predictable though. Like, the episode of Boy Meets World that's pictured: even though Shawn's the "troublemaker" kid, he didn't pressure Cory to drink. Cory pressured Shawn to drink. And not to be cool or something, Cory pressured him into it because he was depressed and lonely and wanted to feel good with his friend, and Shawn relented because he knew Cory was depressed and lonely and wanted to cheer him up. And then Alan accused Shawn of being a stereotypical bad influence because "MY son would never do that!!" and Cory had to stand up to him and defend Shawn and explain in detail his whole thought process of why he decided to steal the alcohol and why he made Shawn drink.

That's a lot more impactful than some simplified "don't listen to dumb bad kids who tell you to drink to be cool, because they're dumb and evul!!" message, which isn't all that helpful. Because it's easier for kids to understand that you shouldn't listen to aggressive assholes than to understand that your nice friends can make innocent mistakes for sympathetic reasons.
