    This show sure brings back memories!!!

    I used to watch "You Can't Do That On Television" on YTV but somehow I enjoyed this show better. It was more entertaining and nowhere as gross as YCDTOTV plus the show had musical guests like the local band in my area Trooper as well as Ian Thomas, Max Webster, Cooper Brothers and Alma Faye Brooks (What better guests could you have for a show?) Also it starred Ruth Buzzi. Kevin Somers was by far the best kid actor in the series and so was Christine McGlade as people called her Moose. I loved the episode where the topic was about education and Somers was dressed as the spelling bee and whacked people with his pillow stinger if anyone crossed him and unfortunately the episode is hard to find and I hope to one day find it. Ian Thomas was the best musical guest as I loved his song "Coming Home" which he performed on the "Superstition" episode also Lisa Ruddy and Jono Gebert were always getting slimed on that episode. (I love green slime!)

    • Alternate versions
      The pilot has been seen in two versions. The original version that was shown on 12 May 1979 had an extra scene toward the end where Moose suggests the viewers should call their local TV stations, to tell them how much they liked the show (so it could possibly be made into a series). Versions seen since (including the version shown at the Slimecon convention in 2002, and the version in collectors circles) are missing this dialouge.
