A 1983 two-part episode of the sitcom "Diff'rent Strokes" is about child molestation. It's clear from both a message delivered by Conrad Bain, who played the father in the series, and the content of the show itself, that it was intended as a "public service" to educate people on child molestation.
While the show is educational in a sense, it can't be forgotten that Hollywood protects star pedophiles and many child stars have been abused and exploited. So, the motive for this show being done have to be suspect.
In the episode, the character played by Gary Coleman, Arnold Drummond, and a friend of his, are groomed by a child molester, played by actor Gordon Jump, who gives them ice cream and pizza to lure them in, and then wine. The grooming experiences are presented in a lot of detail, and seem to accurately portray how a molester would use twisted logic and deception to gradually draw children in. It's disturbing to watch.
I was trying to think of some of the social context for why this show would be made, and perhaps it was due to high-profile cases of child abductions and murders like those of Adam Walsh, Johnny Gosch, and the Atlanta child murders in the prior year or two. By doing such a show, Hollywood be putting itself in the "crusader" role.

The YouTube video of the show I linked to calls it the "creepiest" show in sitcom history. It may be, but since then, shows like Family Guy and The Mick have come along that present just the sort of things the molester did in this episode. I watched a couple of episodes of The Mick recently, and a couple of 13-year-olds in the show were made to go to a huge party with mostly adults and they naturally drank - right before the two boys were going to both be with a girl a little bit older. The molester also rationalized clearly concerning behavior, just as the entertainment industry does today and certainly The Mick's defenders do to their critics. Just about every tactic employed by the molester shown in this show is now employed by the entertainment industry.

About the Mick, (from https://voat.co/v/pizzagate/1810224)::)
Let's have a closer look at another attempt by CIA west to normalize the depravity of child abuse, and transgender to the masses in the guise of "entertainment".
Fox's show, "The Mick" is about a transgender child. He is debased by saying things like: 'the dress 'breezes on my vagina' " – a disgusting attempt at sexualized humor involving a child.
Not just to titillate the pedos, but there is egregious violence: "Another scene shows the boy celebrate after a man’s eye is impaled in front of him by a woman’s high-heeled shoe. As blood is shooting on the boy’s face and clothes, he exclaims, “cool!” " Source: https://vicimedia.wordpress.com/tag/comedy/
The pictures in this source (above) speak for themselves about the depravity.
Kaitlin Olson, a "star" of the show says she is excited to be in a comedy children can watch. Here's her Wikipedia page: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kaitlin_Olson Promotions abound: https://www.bustle.com/articles/193465-why-kaitlin-olsons-the-mick-will-be-your-new-go-to-comedy
The show is pushed as "Olsen's show" but this video shows more: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pp5hfdyjWc4YouTubeYouTube
The online promotion sounds like something James Alefantis would write: #KidsAreDicks
Apparently back in January,** it was Fox's top comedy launch** since New Girl. Source: http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/live-feed/tv-ratings-mick-is-foxs-top-comedy-launch-new-girl-961534
There is a petition to demand the cancellation of the show here: https://actright.com/petition/285
While YouTube videos are demonetized and even removed, this sick garbage is considered a comedy for children.
