TV sitcoms are usually a great way to unwind and laugh after a long day. Goofy parents, adorable kids, and classic laugh tracks — what's not to love?
Occasionally though, a sitcom will get unexpectedly dark. Like, REALLY dark.
For example, on Diff'rent Strokes, when a bike store owner — a grown man — tried to take advantage of literal children Arnold and Dudley by inviting them to his apartment and giving them wine.
Or on Boy Meets World, when Cory's mom gave birth prematurely and it was unknown if the baby would survive.
And, to use a more current example, that time when Rosa had to respond to an active shooting situation on Brooklyn Nine-Nine.
