Congratulations, Jack, on your first foray into the friend zone! 🙂👍

Oh my goodness 😁 I haven’t see this since hurrying home after school with my 5 sisters and 2 brothers to watch this! And especially bcuz Scott Baio was starring in it. We’d hurry through the front door and then rush upstairs to our room , throw our many school books down on our beds then rush backdown stairs, turn the TV on ABC which was channel 8 and get ready to watch it. We’d run to the kitchen to get all kinds of snacks too. Our Dad was a narcotics officer as we grew up in SoCal and it was a must for all of us to watch this one. I’ll never forget it. Brings back so many great memories and I wish I could go back to the time. Things were different and much simpler. We would always watch the ABC After school specials and we’d get so bum if there wasn’t going to be one on for that week. But still good memories and times.

I remember when this aired. It had a lot of promo-ads and advertising the week before. I loved the AfterSchool Special and never missed it

I', mean, he did get cooler after smoking💁 What are you saying, abc?🤣

My 8 year old naive self watched this just for something to watch. 25 years later I started taking pain pills that the doctor prescribed to after I messed up my back in an accident. I learned nothing from this because I enjoyed being stoned for 13 and a half years after that. Now I'm over 6 years clean and hate even saying the word stoned. It's never too late to stand up after you fall and to keep on standing. No. So riety and recovery isnt blissful or back to the old me. It's getting to reinvent myself into a smarter drug and alcohol free man.

Sucks to have anything own your soul like drugs do. I was strung out on oxy contin for a dozen years. When I quit I did it like trainspotting, buckets in my room locked in my dad's house , told him no matter how much I scream or cry don't let me out this house . 3days of agony , every minute takes an hour , chills ,shakes , puking 🤮, gut wrenching pain. After 4 days I started to function but after a week ,I hated life , reality sucks sober now depression realization that my life is trashed . It took me a good 9mnths to get it together and finally move on with life , thank s dad 🥲, he died a few years later .I finally grew up thanks to him at age 50...

It's not easy to stay away from a few specific ones... And I commend you for sticking with it.

Anyone else getting stoned while watching this?

in 1970 my friend and i got high to go to a police /parents talk to say how deadly marijuana was. The climax was when a woman kept asking to tell how her kid has brain damage from smoking marijuana. She got up and told how he and a friend were downstairs in a basement and one of them hit the other with a hammer. The incredible illogic was mind bending.

Get your chocolate milk or your koolaid, it's the afterschool special! 😂

The ad did say "It's time for milk.....and me"

30:44 this whole scene has bound to have backfired massively. MASSIVELY! We had these drug education pamphlets in my school around this time or a few years before and they were illustrated with stick figures. And the stick figures who were on drugs had big ass smiles and X'ed out eyes! And my skin literally tingled as the thought formed: "Holy SHIT! Do drugs make you feel THAT GOOD??????" Backfired massively.

I was born in 77, so we had Dare through out elementary school. My small class won all these awards for our anti drug writings,got to go to Nasville to the state Capitol, where a special session was held for us to read our 'reports'. I still have my 'gold' medal. There was around 45 kids in my grade and I can only think of a handful that didn't use drugs in high school(small townthe 90s....there was nothing else to do). At least 20-25 of us became full blown addicts. Dare failed us spectacularly. If anything it taught us what good drugs should look like when they brought in the brief case in with different drugs the police had confiscated.

Turns out that Jack was smarter, cooler, and a better swimmer than his brother.

Couldn't wait to watch after school. The best commercials too. Loved & miss the ads

I was looking at the thumbnail, and thought, wait, is that Scott Baio? Clicked, looked at the description, and yeah, sure enough, it is. In his defense, maybe he got stoned after seeing the ratings for Joanie Loves Chachi. 😉😂🤣

that wasn't out yet.

There actually is some truth to this. I used to be a stoner back in the day, then I grew up and slowly started to leave it behind. I used it for a very long time too, years and years. But now I don't use it anymore. Occasionally I may have a tiny drop of cbd oil and that's alright. But I used to rely on it for making music and trying to think outside the box. But after letting it go, my music has actually gotten better now when I listen and compare it to my previous work. I've actually been feeling a lot more creative with my song writing and have done some pretty cool stuff. Before, I would only have like this 30 minute window of using grass to help me make music, but then when it was gone, I was too tired to do anything with the song. So I basically ended up with tons of song ideas that I never got around to recording. But now, I'm able to commit to every song idea I have now and weed out the ones that aren't the best. The truth is that I was forced to quit all of the drugs I was taking because of a severe medical condition. I believe it was god's way of taking me off drugs. Well, over time, I started to heal and here I am! Good as new, except I don't have anymore drug habits and I actually feel more free to be honest, like truly free! I still enjoy the same things that I did when I used drugs, in fact, they're 100 times more enjoyable now. I do more exercise and sports and I'm basically heathy again. I realized that I was always naturally high and I never really needed drugs. Now I'll be honest, I do miss those old days, I had some gnarly trips not just with grass, but psychedelics. I used to chain smoke like Hunter S. Thompson. I used to drink, and take whatever came my way. But now, I'm free! I still struggle somedays with fatigue and not getting things done, but it's not like before. I have more will power now and I'm able to plan things out better if I failed something that I want to try again. I'll probably have another doobie someday in the future, I mean that's reality, but I'm 100% sober most of the time now, not even caffein and I feel great! A prescribed amphetamine almost made me lose my life one night, and I'm never going back to that.

Pot helped his eyesight. He doesn't wear glasses when he's high.

I'm off work on this Sunday cold Sunday watching shows like this bring back so many good memories I'm chilling relaxing and I love the old school commercials it makes me feel like I'm back or things used to be simple and people actually love people for people and people were gas was nice food prices families love one another friends was actually real friends I miss those days just bring back a lot of memories thanks for uploading❤❤❤❤❤

🙂👽❤‍🔥As a Gen-X'er who grew up in the 80's, seeing these After School Specials and the commercials with them really brings me back to my youth. In my mind, I see myself as a kid again, paling around with my friends in the old neighborhood Uptown, Pittsburgh. In the summer we'd play ball in the streets, or games like Hide and Go Seek, It Tag, and Release the Den. Then turn on one of the fire hydrants to cool off from the heat. The topics of discussion were the girls that we crushed on, Transformers, or the things we wanted to do when we were older. Even though I grew up in the ghetto with whores on the corners, junkies on the streets, the occasional shooting up on Fifth Avenue, and having to deal with racism as a little white man, life was so much better. Even though we saw the end of a community that we were a part of that had ethnic fellowship and was tribal and cared about its members. With all of their information and the convenience that they afford, life was simple before the advent of the Internet and cellular phones. What angers me is how our kids are corrupted at such a young age now by the amount of hardcore sex that they're exposed to. Any and all websites that contain adult material should be identified by the suffix of .xxx in their addresses, but they're not.

1978-1996. Lol, boy talk about a MAJOR FAILURE that was focused on GenerationX clearly. We just found them funny & funnier today

What a fantastic time to be an American teenager that would be, glad that Chachi sorted his drug problems out lol. Really loved the ads too, delightfully cheesy yet wholesome too

"Chachi loves Reefer" was a show that had a pilot for ABC, but was never picked up.

Am I wrong, or is EVERY scene in this movie a setup for porn in another movie?

A dollar for a joint?! Those were the days!

I forgot that Chachi too had his Jumping the shark moment !! 😂😂

Wow a dollar a joint. Great deal. Even for a standard size. I never smoked it just a few times. Never became a stoner, thanks ABC and thanks Scott Baio. Liked the movie foxes aswell and happy days.
