The NBC Comedy Sitcom that introduces the topic of Pedophilia in Hollywood. But why?

 


Greetings, and today I would like to discuss truth in the media. Specifically, I would like to discuss the H video from the 1980s, in which NBC produced two-episode series 16 and 17 about a case involving child molestation. The man involved in this case was dubbed the "cycle man," and he was portrayed by Gordon Jump as Mr. Horton. Kids are naturally drawn to bikes, and since Mr. Horton ran a bike shop, the boy played by Gary Coleman was fascinated by this bike and wanted to acquire it as well as some other goodies from Mr. Horton. 

 During the sitcom, you can hear the audience laughing and having a good time around a topic.  This is very serious and many of the scenes inside the episodes are very disturbing. Mr. Horton owned a bike shop, and kids are obviously drawn to bikes. This kid, played by Gary Coleman, was intrigued by this bike and wanted to get this bike and some of the other goodies from Mr. Horton.


 Now, throughout the entire episode, there is innuendo and laughter, which is shocking coming with such a sensitive topic.  Mr. Horton states: "The pictures show a bunch of us skinny dipping, you guys are going to love it as he reaches for the nude photos of himself naked with a group of people. 

The episode also featured disturbing scenes, such as Gary Coleman being coaxed into a back room to be given a banana split job. The video aimed to raise awareness about pedophilia in the film industry, but it could also be used as a training video to teach people how to approach children. The character Arnold Jackson, played by Gary Coleman, was portrayed as cute and naive, and the Banana Split scene was graphically exposed. The video raises questions about whether it was produced with good intentions or if it was a training video.
