When an admissions guy from an ivy league school comes to interview Becca, and Corky thinks he's an alien. He jumps out from behind a chair and says "You can't take my planet." Then he sprays him with whip cream. For years after that at family functions one of us would randomly jump out from behind a chair with a can of whip cream quoting that line.
I also like the one when Corky drives drunk and kills Tyler Benchfield.

The network really wanted Corky to start driving because they were sick of seeing a constant stream of Life Goes On scripts where Corky would either lose his shoes or get lost.
Actually, didn't Corky perform a rap song in front of the school? It's too bad that this rap episode wasn’t about him losing his shoes instead. I think that he was also wearing a backwards baseball cap while rapping. Not too cool.
Well, at least he was wearing shoes.
Actually, I think it was Tyler who was drunk and was driving and talking to Corky at the same time when they hit the tree. Corky was not the one driving. That is what I remember, lol. Just thought I'd clear that one up. ;)
shareI like the one where the cow ran for homecoming queen. That was funny. The one about the nude painting of Becca was funny too.
Also, you are right. Tyler did drive drunk and hit a tree. Corky was not the one driving.
i remember those two! i taped them while i was still living in portugal. i remember i used to love the classical music while chad lowe's brush is on the canvas, at the very beginning (this is so old, i probably haven't seen it ten years - alright, maybe just 8). and the homecoming queen was so funny. these two episodes i watched over and over again because i had them on tape and they were my favourite. and i loved when paige smelt the milk carton and put it back in the fridge, in the opening credits. i loved it every single time.
shareI'm partial to the one where he flips out when his [pregnant] mother asks the doctor if the baby will be "normal".
The one where Corky and his girlfriend announce that they want to get married and then they make macaroni and cheese is a classic too.
My favorite is (well actually favorites!!) are when::
Becca sings in the shower when she is supposed to sing
with Tyler up on stage, but backs out because she doesn't want
to ruin the song with her crappy singing!! The episode
was "Becca And The Band"!!
And the episode where Corky goes to the city to become
a blues traveler- and meets that hooker and they make out--
I wish they showed more of that!!!
AND MY MOST FAVORITE OF COURSE!!!::::::
WHEN CORKY ACTS ALL TOUGH AND COOL WITH
THOSE MEAN PUNKS AT SCHOOL- AND BECOMES A
PUNK HIMSELF-- HE SINGS "FIGHT THE POWER",
WEARS THAT "TOUGH GUY" LEATHER JACKET,
SLICKS BACK HIS HAIR- HE EVEN RIDES ON THE
BACK OF A MOTORCYCLE!!!
of course there's more, but the waiting
for this DVD of season 1 is killing me!!
Ya know, I forgot the one where Corky steals (and crashes) the driver's ed. car. That's a classic!

remember the one where corky got a checkbook, and didn't understand how the whole check system worked? I love how ABC had absolutely no shame or objections in exploiting that poor guy
shareTOTALLY!
I mean, part of the whole reason the show existed in the first place was to make people aware of (some might even say "make people feel bad about") the plight of the mentally disabled. Retards can be pretty strange sometimes and we have yet to hear of a mentally retarded person winning the Nobel Prize for physics or anything. HOWEVER, they (the producers/writers) constantly stuck Corky in such preposterous sitiuations that you could practically hear the mentally challenged across the entire country saying "That's soooooo retarded!"
