Remember in the 80s and 90s when sitcoms would have a serious episode and it was called "a very special episode?" Which ones do you remember?

I remember the Family Ties one where Alex's friend died in a drunk driving accident.

Diff’rent Strokes was full of those: the one where the bicycle shop owner tried to molest Arnold and Dudley, the one where Arnold and Kimberly get kidnapped by the guy who attempts to rape Kimberly, and the episode where Sam gets kidnapped by a guy who wants him to replace his deceased son. Those kids went through a lot.

Wasn't there a Good Times one when JJ was shot? And I remember when the dad died in a car accident.
