I should start a petition for people to sign regarding the release of You Can't Do That On Television episodes on DVD. This was one of the best shows that ever originated on Nickelodeon and so many of us miss it.
this show was a huge credit to canadians - and yeah today's TV doesn't compare because everything has to be SAFE now. lol this show breaks a lot of rules for today's standards. i loved this one when i was a kid
Still as good as I remember. YCDTOT is the greatest show ever (and still relevant)!! Nick had a bunch of great stuff back in the 80's & 90's. Nothing from today can compete!
This show has to come to DVD! Sure, they also could try to revive it, but I'm not sure if it would be as successful now as it was then with a new cast. It seems that this show is the biggest reason why Nickelodeon started it's whole green slime concept.
I used to watch this show religiously! READY...AIM......WAIT! WAIT!! HAHAHAHAHA Nowadays you really can't do that on television. Wierd huh? we grew up with it and now we're the ones censoring the shit out of EVERYTHING!!
Love the voodoo doll opening. Its really well done. and Lisa seems to be really enjoying herself giving it to Christine. the last pin actually pops in the doll from the force she uses.
I was so little when I used to watch this show, that I didn't know the factory in the opening credits said: "CHILDRENS TELEVISION SAUSAGE FACTORY". You know, because I couldn't read, yet.
OMG. I haven't thought about this show in YEARS!! Someone just said something that instantly made me think "you can't do that on television....hey, that was a cool show I used to watch"

youve got no fucking clue dude.I hope you are kidding.
there is shit on that show theyd never do nowadays.if your ID is any indication of when you were born i would not expect you to get it nor appreciate it either
The "monkey sounds" were, indeed, coming from the game, but I don't think that that was intentional. I think it was just that the prop video game was squeaking when the controls were used.
Doug playing video games in the dungeon, and Alaisdair is envious. LOL. Cut to the next scene where Alasdair is chained to the detention wall.

I think all the shows on Disney Channel (Wizards, Shake it Up, Suite Life, etc.) should all thank this show and Nickelodeon for where they are now.

"lol this show breaks a lot of rules for today's standards."
Speaking of which, how come Beavis and Butt head had to be on MTV when You Can't Do That On Television was able to be on Nickelodeon.
Is B & B really that much more inappropriate than YCDTOTV that B & B could not be on Nick?

If you think Nickelodeon has worsened since the demise of YCDTOTV, you should try watching MTV.
That channel worsened since the demise of B&B in 1997 far more than Nick worsened since the demise of YCDTOTV in 1990!
