When Ricky's dad talks to Ricky about porn


Does anyone remember what episode that was? He made a very good speech to Ricky about the negative consequences of looking at women that way.
A speech that all men who look at porn should hear.

The X-Team, season 1.

It would have not been on his cable box UNLESS his dad had ordered it.

Yeah, having a 13 year old boy to promise he will never look at a naked woman again during his teens is a promise he is going to keep!

Of course, during this time, Playboy magazine and National Geographic were the only "common" sources.

And it had a parental key lock, and his dad always had the key with him, not quite the same as when we were kids and discovered the late night cable channels just by flipping through on the remote.

Playboy magazine was old fashioned by the time this show was on tv that would be from his dad's time the newest porn magazine during this time was hustler also plus with the technology being the way it was back then there was no such thing as blocking channels on tv cuz it was not invented yet. Also I am sure if he really wanted to watch porn he would had known someone his age that access to it easier then him. Cuz in real life we all had that one friend that was bad for us even if we did not know it during the time.

Except there was, there was a literal lock on the TV to block off the forbidden channels.
