[Future Snake Eater]

I remember episodes in which one character, after having been attacked and beaten to a pulp, buys a gun. He is later confronted by some thugs and brandishes the weapon on them. After the punks run away, he throws away the gun, as if buying it was the most horrible sin imaginable.

I remember that one very well, too. I started yelling at the TV, "You've gotta be kidding me! That gun probably just saved your life! Or at least kept you from being beaten to a bloody pulp AGAIN!"

That show has had several anti-gun messages thrown in throughout. Unless you count the gun-toting lesbian doctor that was on the show briefly...

The original "Death Wish" movie, Charles Bronson got sick after his first 'encounter.' He got over it.

I stopped watching ER when sex became the major topic, was that first or second season? Now it's FNC, documentries and old syndications.
