Not a kid's show in many ways

You tell 'em, buddy! I grew up during those days, and my parents talked to me the way I talk with my children today. Still, there were shocking scenes on LHOTP that one wouldn't expect by its comfy exterior. The blood and gore wasn't shown on the previews, so parents couldn't always shield their little loved ones from it.
Another example: When Dr. Baker was called to that fever-stricken village (where Mr. Edwards brought the fever back inadvertently) to treat the sick. At the beginning of one scene he stoically says, "you can carry out the body", and two men lift this blanket-covered corpse up and out.

Alice Garvey and the baby burning up in the blind schooldamn, that was just a graphic scene all the way around and probably scared the *hit out of a lot of kids.
I am 41 now, and I STILL remember how horrified I was when I watched that scene, when it first aired!!
It scared me senseless, and still remains in my memory of one of the scariest scenes shown on a series.
I'd say this cloud is Cumulo Nimbus.
Didn't he discover America?
Penfold, shush. -

it was the "As Long As We're Together" episode. Towards the end after Charles is beat up (yet again) and Jonathan goes to the Saloon where the two men works as bouncers. He starts a fight, squeezes the guy and then gets his job as a bouncer.
