From season 2 of Problem Child:
Cyndi, one of Junior's closest friends, is entered in a skating competition, but her parents are so, so focused on her winning, they don't want Junior offering support. Meanwhile, a rival skater, Tonya, has hired Principal Peabody (Gilbert Gottfried, Aladdin) as her manager, and he's trying to sabotage Cyndi's chances of winning.......
Once Junior figures out Peabody's behind this get rich quick scheme, it doesn't take him long to make the principal regret it.
This was a send-up of the real-life issues between Olympic skaters Tonya Harding & Nancy Kerrigan around that same year that became tabloid fodder.
