This series is what gave Nickelodeon its Green Slime branding. "YCDTOTV" was made at CJOH, in Ottawa, Ontario, Canada. I went to a convention there, almost 20 years ago, and met several cast members, including Moose and the amazing Les Lye. One of the events was lunch at the Harvey's burger joint near the studio. This was the provider of the food used in the Barth's Burgery scenes. Harvey's is a Canada-wide chain, so you can enjoy a "Barth Burger" without having to go to Ottawa. I still have a bottle of the very last Green Slime ever dropped in those old studios before they were sealed off...and they burned down. The Slime is the original formula, mixed by the original prop man. It's deep in my freezer, because it ferments, which would explode its bottle.
This was a thing I saw on TV as a kid and I would have wished that it was a real time and place. Like I wished star wars was real. you were there? How amazing!
my brother and I watched this show for only a year. But this was great and we were just waiting for when the kids would make the mistake of Getting Slimed!
What a blast to see this!! Nickelodeon circa 1985 was so great! This (loved Moose and Lisa), Out of Control (Diz!), reruns of odd cartoons like Danger Mouse, Sebastian and Belle, the 70s Star Trek cartoon and on and on! Little later (1986 or so), started getting Double Dare and Monkees reruns. Nick Vid. Man, everybody says it, but what a time to be a kid!
This is an absolute TREASURE! Classic Nickelodeon was daring and transformative! The world we live in today couldn’t produce another like it! Please, if you have more classic Halloween programming from Nick or Disney Channel PLEASE 🙏🏾🙏🏾 share it! Thanks so much for this and for all that you do! God bless!
That's why we have TH-cam b/c your right, TV execs would not take a chance on something like this. This was absolutely a product if its time. Also the The Hobbit on VHS for 35 bucks back in 1984!?
Nickelodeon was the sh%t with their marriage to MTV from the mid 80's through the early 90's. Everything fell apart in late 1993 when Nickelodeon purchased their own shares and split, which started a butterfly effect of sorts, in 94 Viacom bought out Nickelodeon by force, then a year later comedy central, and then VH1 in 96 after VH1 had left Viacom in 86. By the late 90's MTV ratings were dropping, so in early 1999 MTV agreed to be sold off to CBS, but CBS was a subsidiary to Viacom so they wasted no time buying out MTV.
Exactly! The locker scenes are literally kids bullying each other. Kids today are too soft! You can't do that on television anymore! (Or the internet) 😃
I LOVED this show! Christine "Moose" McGlade and Lisa "Motormouth" Ruddy were my favorites. Les Lyle was a great character actor and was perfect for this show. And Oct 31 1984 was my last Trick-or-Treat (age 12, I dressed like Jason Voorhees).
1989 was my last one. Yea I was 12. I also remember watching this show back when cable didn’t have commercials. Yes they promised us we wouldn’t see any since we had to pay for the service. Boy was that wrong. Any one else remember when Nickelodeon ended at 8pm? I remember Danger Mouse being the last show of the day. Then the channel switched over to A&E.
I loved this show on Saturday mornings. This, Hilarious House of Frightenstein, Spider-Man cartoons, and Star Trek reruns. My Saturday morning wasn’t complete without these.
Wow, haven’t seen a full episode of this in nearly four decades. Well done! I’d watch this nightly on Nickelodeon (in reruns) to the chagrin of my mom, my dad would be on the couch “monitoring” the show, yet chuckling. Thank you for the fond memories.
I remember the rare treat of watching this show and Eureka’s Castle when I’d get home from kindergarten on Fridays because we’d get let out early. If there were important notes to pass along to our parents, they’d actually pin (They never thought to use safety pins mind you.) notes/permission slips to our shirts on Fridays as well. To me the slime was just gross because it looked like it had chunks. Then one day just when I was getting used to watching them they were gone. Story of my life, showing up to a party right just as it’s ending. Thanks for the upload!!!
That's a great memory. I was born in 1980, and while I remember this program, my similar memory comes from 1985/1986, after the school bus ride home watching the Heathcliff cartoon. Same era that I would get a GarbagePailKids pack if I got 💯 on my weekly spelling test. Thanks for sharing your fun memories. I hope people like us create a similar source for fun some day. Cheers.
The locker routine and Barth was my favorite. Funny how in the locker scene they'd literally bully each other. You can't do that on television anymore! (Or the internet) 😃
One of my favorite shows growing up. Even though my parents & my older sister hated the show I enjoyed it. I still enjoy the show. I also remember how much I used have a huge crush on Christine.
Thank you for this for a moment I felt like it really was the 1980’s again no worries no cell phones just wanted to go hang out with my cousins. After the show of course.
I used to watch this in 1984 but I was not a kid ! I was like 28 or 27 years old I just found it funny I had turned the TV on and they made me laugh ! Now if someone wants to pick on me for being too old for the show toots to them ! I think its a funny show and Id watch it again if it came on dont give a damn if Im too old to watch it !
Well, there _was_ a good share of political humor of the era -- partly targeting Canadian senators, partly targeting the U.S. presidency of the era. of course, when Reagan died in 2004/06, Nickelodeon abruptly cut off the then-recent _Old School Pick_ rerun of "Enemies and Paranoia" and threw to _The Fairly OddParents!_ (that episode had lots of Reagan jokes).
An episode celebrating my favourite holiday of my favourite Canadian show! Alasdair is the all time best! 12:25 is that Fred Savage? I don’t know. (Slime drops on Moose)
Oooohhhh mah gawd I miss watching this!! Canada has some of the best shows for kids and teens back then. So glad I was born just in time to experience them♥️ and thank you for keeping in the commercials!!!
This was one of my favorite shows as a kid! I'm not even sure why, but it's still enjoyable. Seeing this is like an awesome slice of the 80s, complete with a Kodak commercial with a very young Fred Savage.
Whether I actually saw this particular episode of YCDTOT when it was on the air or not, I definitely am reveling in revisiting a fragment of classic Nickelodeon today in 2021. Nothing can measure up.
I dont know how other production companies havent taken cues from this. Short skits, keep em entertained, a lil potty humor and slime. This is how I would do a kid's show.
This was soon after Nickelodeon went to the orange splat logo (which lasted for over 25 years), but continued using the "silver ball" bumpers for both You Can't Do That on Television and Special Delivery (well until early 1985).
Thank you for putting this up as for some reason, Paramount+ hasn't put up any episodes past season 1. Also, the fact they're using a messed up Spock mask...😜
WoW talk about going down memory lane. I've been letting my three old son watch Pinwheel and almost every show I grew up with in the early 80s. I highly appreciate uploading these memories for me.
I'm only at the beginning hearing jokes about how many kids can fit in a bag or telling kids to "bob for french fries in hot grease".... Well, it's times like this I choked up at how much this fine programming had on my sense of humor and the sense of humor of a generation!
Wow, this whole video was a huge nostalgia trip, but something about the commercials really sent me back to being 10 again. I had almost completely forgotten there was once an era when there was just one commercial break per half hour show. Such better times.
I'm 100% sure I was watching this as it originally aired. And I honestly don't remember Nickelodeon using the orange logo in ads around this time. I seem to remember that logo being used starting in early 1985, when Nick ditched the silver ball logo.
Kids today have no idea, it was THIS show - THIS TV show (along with the ORIGINAL Double Dare with Marc Summers) that made the Nickelodeon TV network what it is today. Without those two shows it would never have taken off or sustained existence 40 years later. I have some of the best memories of my childhood spending time at my stepdad's house before my Mom and him got married, watching You Can't Do That on Television because he had cable and we didn't (at that time the city of Cleveland OH had political spats with the cable companies and was the last big city in America to get cable, not until 1989 if you can believe that). I am still hoping one day someone finds all the original recordings of this show and puts them on DVD or Bluray. What made this show so good is the fact that the producers actually let the kids create the jokes and punchlines, and they got some really good, talented, smart kids - they insisted all the kids who could appear on the show be very good in school and carry no less than an A-B grade average.
Simple.. all of the royalties that would have to be paid to all of the Actors. I mean, Christine, Lisa, Kevin K., Alasdair, Marjorie, Brodie, Kim, Vanessa, Adam (all 3 of them), Justin, Alanis, Doug, Matthew, Amyas.. and that's just for starters. And what's worse, is that the studio that housed the archives tapes of the original show burned down in a fire sometime after 2004, so CJOH couldn't even go around Nickelodeon's head and release it themselves only to Canada if they could. they definitely wouldn't be released here because Nickelodeon has the license to air them in the US. There were also supposed to be some episodes from the 1981 season able to be purchased in iTunes, but those don't appear to be there now.. If it's any consolation, Mr. Wizard's World is available in iTunes as well.
The creator of the show, originally from the UK, moved to a part of France where he didn’t have to pay taxes. he supposedly has all the mastertapes but isn’t willing to sell them or make dvds out of them.
This series was originally created and aired in Ottawa, Ontario, Canada.. Alanis Morrisette was a part of this show in its later years before becoming famous..
Ladies and gentlemen, Only you know just how much I miss this frigging show. You Can't Do That On Television was like Saturday Night Live but with kids. The Canadians know all about comedy and I know that because a lot of my favorite shows were a part of Canadian programming. We got to view it here in America and I appreciate our friends to the north for the memories and the laughs. 😅🤣😂😃😀
This show, along with Out of Control, and Mr. Wizard's World, were some of my favorites when I was a kid. Classic Nickelodeon. I'd love a DVD box set of these.
Their other holiday themed shows, including the one on Christmas is also worth checking out. The exchanges between Christine "Moose" McGlade and Lisa Ruddy were off the charts. And yes, those locker jokes were funny.
Brings back so many memories! I wish i could Ihave seen every episode but this started before I was born. I have to say though the best line up was Christine. Lisa. Alistair. Lance and Valerie. Les was awesome as all those characters.
I remember a sketch on the "All-New Mickey Mouse Club" during its 3rd season in 1990, when the show parodied one of its segments, "What I Want To Be", where a lucky viewer, played by Jennifer McGill's brother, Justin, who was a frequent audience member for most of the 1st season, reluctantly took a job as a vendor, serving rotten school lunch, under the watchful eye of a grouchy lady, played by the late Tiffini Hale's mother, I assume, in a disgusting school cafeteria, similar to Barth's Burgery, on You Can't Do That On Television!
When the parents got Nick and Disney, it was amazing and so exciting. My dad eventually bought a huge satellite dish that actually moved to reach the different individual satellites. Ridiculous, but in 1987 we finally got it all! Crazy fun times.
Right? When the parents got Nick and Disney, it was amazing and so exciting. My dad eventually bought a huge satellite dish that actually moved to reach the different individual satellites. Ridiculous, but in 1987 we finally got it all! Crazy fun times.
You know your old when u go to a dive bar and during the Intermission the band plays the YCDTOT theme and you are the only one who knew where it was from.
how funny.. this shows up on my feed again, a year to the day it was posted! Guess I'll be making this a yearly tradition! And did I read right that the first season is being streamed on Paramount+? It would make sense if it was, since Paramount owns Viacom, which owns Nickelodeon.
The 80s we're such a magical time. I feel so lucky I grew up in those days.
Same. I missed a couple of years of it, but glad I caught what I could.
Yeah I miss those times I listen to 80s music all day like Wang Chun for example 😊
We had the best kid shows.
The decade I was born in the 80s were awesome.
I feel so lucky i grew up in that time we had so much fun as kids great times great memories 80s was the best

So cool! I remember watching ycdtotv in the 80's and crushing hard on Christine. Lol
I can't believe I miss the 80's
thanks for sharing all of that with us!
Wow. Did you attend one of those fan conventions in Ottawa several years ago?
One of the best shows to ever grace our TVs.
yeah i watched this on tv when i was a kid between 1984-1987
I watched this with my siblings. My fraternal twin brother and I were little kids, in feety jammies as we watched.
my brother and I watched this show for only a year. But this was great and we were just waiting for when the kids would make the mistake of Getting Slimed!
One of Nickelodeon's best Canadian shows along with Today's Special.
Today’s Special… Another classic.
Never knew this was a Canadian show growing up
@@valoruniversity I was their age at this time. Thought their accent was New York or something. 😁
I barely remember that old show.

@@NJGuy1973 you’re damn right 😁
Don't forget Doug, Vanessa and Adam.
Im so glad to see it again
I loved this show as a kid, never missed an episode. Some of the jokes and skits they did wouldn't fly today. I loved Ross and Barth!
I used to ditch my friends to watch this!
I love this show too. I would imitate so much it got me into trouble. I watched on weekends, school vacations and summertime.
Exactly! The locker scenes are literally kids bullying each other. Kids today are too soft! You can't do that on television anymore! (Or the internet) 😃

Teresa Pflaumer Yeah. My Top 6 favs were Christine, Lisa, Alastair, Vanessa, Dougie and also Adam. Man, I used to love that show. RIP Les Lye.
My favorite on the show was Alanis. I wonder what she did after leaving the show.

"Boy George without make up will not be shown at this time..." 🤣🤣🤣
I actually saw Boy George without makeup in person, really 😄
I can't be the only person that actually wanted to see that, ha ha ha! 😆
A sight like that would be submitted to the Thanks, I Hate It subreddit.
🤣🤣🤣🤣
Simply among the best Children's shows of all time!! I wish they would bring all the old episodes back.
Its actually on 1 of the streaming services, Amazon Prime
How far back did they go, because this series has been out since the late 70s.
@Wesley Steele IV Russell Hughes has all 8 seasons

Thank you for this!
I had a crush on Christine. I can't believe she's in her late 50s with twin daughters. I'm only two years older than her and she still looks great.
I can relate. I'm a couple of years younger and, boy, I remember having it bad for her.
I loved this show so much growing up in the 80s! I've always wanted to be slimed as a kid🤪 Nickelodeon's documentary on Hulu brought me here.
I was a kid when Nickelodeon began in the 1980's. This show was so funny!! Ah, the early years, before Nick Toons came along.😆😆😆
This show is more hardcore than anything on network TV now by far. The kids who grew up with shows like this are last generation with testosterone.
Whether I actually saw this particular episode of YCDTOT when it was on the air or not, I definitely am reveling in revisiting a fragment of classic Nickelodeon today in 2021. Nothing can measure up.
Oh my gosh loved this show is giving me super nostalgia, thank you!!

This used to screen on Australian television back in the 80s. Just about every kid watched it! Such a fun show we loved it
I watched this show with my brothers all of the time when we lived in Chicago, thanks for the memories.
This was soon after Nickelodeon went to the orange splat logo (which lasted for over 25 years), but continued using the "silver ball" bumpers for both You Can't Do That on Television and Special Delivery (well until early 1985).
This ID was where the “Splat” logo was introduced around 1985 where they gave up the “Silver Ball” during its heyday.
@@Musicradio77Network Actually October 1, 1984 was the first day of the Splat logo, Nick didn't phase out the Silver Ball completely.
And still used the silver ball sign off from 1981 before the _Nick is Our Name_ motif

Brings back so many memories! I wish i could Ihave seen every episode but this started before I was born. I have to say though the best line up was Christine. Lisa. Alistair. Lance and Valerie. Les was awesome as all those characters.
The original comedy show on Nickelodeon. I actually saw that show when my family got Cable TV back in '85. 😆
LOVED this show!!
Brings back sooo many memories 💕
I was 14 😊
What a classic!! This was my favorite show. Nickelodeon was the best back in the day. I had a huge crush on Alistair.
I had a crush on Adam. Loved his eyes 👀.
21:04 - She said... well... *those* three words, and she wasn't slimed.
I remember a sketch on the "All-New Mickey
Mouse Club" during its 3rd season in 1990,
when the show parodied one of its segments,
"What I Want To Be", where a lucky viewer,
played by Jennifer McGill's brother, Justin,
who was a frequent audience member for
most of the 1st season, reluctantly took a
job as a vendor, serving rotten school lunch,
under the watchful eye of a grouchy lady,
played by the late Tiffini Hale's mother, I assume,
in a disgusting school cafeteria, similar
to Barth's Burgery, on You Can't Do That
On Television!
Wow! A very young Fred Savage in that cereal commercial.
I love this show just watching this brings back some good Memories
If I could only bring back these f****** days!! 80s were priceless
The bullying in the locker sketches... 🤣
Love the ad for the old Kodak Disc Camera! 😺
Nickelodeon is a shell of what it used to be. I wish I had a barth burger right now!!
Tell me about it.
@@princessmarlena1359iiiiiii heard that
Thanks for bringing me back to 9 years old
I believe McGlade became a producer on Canadian television. She may be still.
According to imdb, she is.
And Lisa is a funeral director in Ontario now.
Love the Terry Gilliam opening.
Also the Laugh In style pop out of locker banter.
EVERY night after school back in 1987. This, Don’t Just Sit There, Remote Control, Mr. Wizard’s World, Double Dare, Finders Keepers and Count Duckula.
When the parents got Nick and Disney, it was amazing and so exciting.
My dad eventually bought a huge satellite dish that actually moved to reach the different individual satellites. Ridiculous, but in 1987 we finally got it all! Crazy fun times.
My uncle had one of those. It was massive. Lol. You could get tons of channels though.
Used to watch these on Nickelodeon in the evenings. This and DangerMouse. Miss these days.
Wooooow this brings back so many memories
Right? When the parents got Nick and Disney, it was amazing and so exciting.
My dad eventually bought a huge satellite dish that actually moved to reach the different individual satellites. Ridiculous, but in 1987 we finally got it all! Crazy fun times.
They missed a good moment with a quick cut to Barthe after Christine said Barthe would want all those dead stuff. Did he hear that?
When I watched this 10 million years ago, I remember Lisa's weight being chided but looking her now all these years later, she looked terrific!
You know your old when u go to a dive bar and during the Intermission the band plays the YCDTOT theme and you are the only one who knew where it was from.
This was my show growing up.
how funny.. this shows up on my feed again, a year to the day it was posted! Guess I'll be making this a yearly tradition! And did I read right that the first season is being streamed on Paramount+? It would make sense if it was, since Paramount owns Viacom, which owns Nickelodeon.
thanks for posting
I'd love every season in 4k on Blu Ray along with every episode of Out of Control, Dr.Katz, The Critic, and Home Movies ❗
The "ready aim fire" skits were always my favorite
That show was just so fun to watch. Like others I used to have a crush on Christine. The skits were ridiculous but very entertaining
