You Can't Do That On Television

[GL]

Does anybody remember this show? It was cheesy yet entertaining...pretty much sums up a lot of 80's TV. In fact, I believe Alannis Morisette had her start on this show (otherwise it was some other YTV show).

Just found a website dedicated to this hallmark 80s show...check it out

Whenever someone said water they got splashed right??

I think so...my memories of the show are pretty fuzzy. I remember the barf burger joint where the kids would just continuously barf hehehe.

HAHA oh man my memories of that show are vague too.. it was like SNL for kids or something, with skits they did regularly.

I remember some dungeoun with a couple guys chained to a wall..

some skit where it was a firing squad and the kid kept tricking the guy in charge to get shot or something.

there was some word they couldn't say or they got slimed or something

If memory serves...the slime phrase was I Don't Know...which is where my post came from...it was supposed to be funny...I guess I'll just have to try again...

I used to watch that show, the begining theme was odd, and that music can give you a headeche. Maybe cause that guy gets stamped in the head and shatters into all those peices.

For some reason that background to the stage always made me think of the Epcot Center.

Oh yeah..and does anyone remember Alanis Morissette on the show?

hahah pulse8 sorry...didn't understand your first post but now I do.

Go visit that website. You can watch entire episodes to refresh your memory - the quality sucks though.

Ack! Now I know I'm geting old. I watched the last couple of seasons, and the reruns(The show started 6 years before I existed); it was some of the best TV I can think of, not counting it's successor, All That. Age is such a crule master.:Q

 

[loup garou]

hehe...remember "Barth?"

I miss the old days of cable tv. When Nickelodeon had good shows and MTV played music.

Yes Al-anus More-shEot got he start on that show. Barth was the gross burger cook. If they said ?water,? they were splashed, if they said ?I don?t Know,? they got slimed. And I never thought the show was very funny. Maybe that?s just me.
