Oh my god, yeah. So I don't know if this is still a thing with kid shows, but back then it was protocol for at least one episode (either every season or every series or something) to be a kind of PSA episode. Most shows did a bullying or smoking/drinking/drugs episode, but Record, to me, was that episode for EI, showing how damaging emotional abuse can be on kids. It was wildly different than ALL other PSA episodes, not only in theme, but also that it was a message directed at parents, not kids.
