Hey all...Anyone remember the show You cant do that on television?" Im pretty sure it was a Canadian show...I know Alanis Morrisete got her start on this show

Yep. I watching it when it was on reruns in the early 90's. Alanis was very pretty when she was on the show. It was kind of stupid though. I liked the one where they thought that the Russians were coming.

Wow...really surprised someone remembers that old gem. I believe the russions comming wasa aconstant problem. U remember the burger joint? Or the fact that they got slimed when they said "I dont know"

callmetootie · 05-17-2001, 07:39 PM

I sure do. Do you remember the one where the kids got addicted to coffee, and one kids spilled the pot all over him??? Or the one where they had a slumber party and they ended up sleeping on that red couch?

This was one of my favorite shows when I was a kid (way back in the 1980's LOL). It was so original and so damn cool. There were so many memorable skits; such as, the kids getting burgers that the chef Barf would warm up under his armpits. Why did those kids keep eating there? The world may never know. The "Don't encourage your father" bit at the dinner table. There was the executioner skit and the detention bit. The locker joke sketch was cool. And you all know what happens when you say "I don't know" or ask for water. Children's programming isn't what it used to be. NICK needs to bring this show back and introduce it to a whole new audience that are growing up watching all those crappy new kid shows.

This is one of my favorite shows.... I was talking to one of my friend's brother, and he told me it was on about 3 weeks ago on Sunday at 6:30.... I'm not sure if he's lying or not, but Clarissa IS on that time so, who knows..
