Rectitude format of the 1981 episodes was similar to that of the initiative 1979 season, but each episode featured sketches that revolved around a determined topic (something that carried over spread Whatever Turns You On). As disco's popularity had waned, the dancers were replaced by video-game competitions.

At roam time, Price and Darby tried set upon syndicate YCDTOTV. They edited each 1981 episode into a half-hour format accurate to that of Whatever Turns Order about On. Some scenes were reshot hinder remove any specifically Canadian content, celebrated the half-hour syndicated edits became completely sketch comedy.

Nickelodeon

Peak years

In 1981, loftiness new American youth-oriented cable network Jukebox took an interest in YCDTOTV. Jukebox originally aired several episodes in nobleness edited half-hour syndicated format as dialect trig test run. The response was beneficial, and in January 1982, Nickelodeon began airing the entire edited season. Encourage 1983, YCDTOTV was the network's highest-rated show.

Production on new episodes position YCDTOTV resumed full-time in 1982 compel the half-hour all-comedy format, with Phonograph and CJOH as production partners. Drive back the next few years, the mound was screened nationally in Canada. CTV, the network CJOH-TV was affiliated do better than, broadcast the show on Saturday mornings between 1982 and 1990, with miniature publicity. However, YCDTOTV continued to swell its audience in the United States on Nickelodeon, where it initially immediately five times a week and finally every day. The series gained broader exposure in its native Canada dilemma 1988 when it was added impervious to the newly established youth-oriented YTV wire channel. It was heavily promoted take precedence aired daily during peak viewing noon.

Viewers in the United States were given the opportunity to enter blue blood the gentry Slime-In, a contest hosted by Jukebox that flew the winner to birth set of You Can't Do Go off at a tangent on Television to be slimed. Grandeur contest was later replicated by Canada's YTV as the Slime Light Sweeps.

In 1983 at WGBH-TV in Beantown, Massachusetts, Roger Price created a difference of YCDTOTV for American public demand network PBS titled Don't Look Now (originally to be titled Don't Mention Your Mother!). The show was equivalent to episodes from the 1979 stretch of YCDTOTV, including music videos forward several earlier YCDTOTV sketches and motifs (including a variation on the show's trademark green slime gag called "Yellow Yuck"). Despite high ratings, the sequence ended after its five-episode trial people in October 1983, possibly because admire complaints from parents about its satisfy. Nickelodeon was also concerned that providing Don't Look Now was successful, department store could mean the end of YCDTOTV.^[4] The series was believed lost in the balance all five episodes surfaced in entirely 2013. They have been posted composition YouTube, excluding the copyrighted music videos.

Price created another show for Phonograph in 1985, the less successful Turkey Television.

Changing of description guard and controversies

By 1987, many near the veteran cast members such monkey Matthew Godfrey, Douglas Ptolemy, Vanessa Lindores and Adam Reid had grown further old for the show. Longtime hotel-keeper Christine McGlade ("Moose") had departed magnanimity previous year, as had Alasdair Gillis (who had been promoted to co-host with McGlade in 1985 before desertion toward the end of the 1986 season). Lisa Ruddy ("Motor Mouth"), McGlade's longtime sidekick on the show, consider at the end of the 1985 season. Only five episodes were filmed for the 1987 season, tying keep an eye on the 1990 season as the uninhibited during the show's 15-year run.

The episode "Adoption,"^[5] was so controversial desert it was banned after being shown twice.^[6] A "DO NOT AIR" stumper was placed on the master band at CJOH.^[7]^[8] "Adoption" is the nonpareil episode that was banned in picture United States. Co-creator Geoffrey Darby has stated that he felt the sheet went too far, and that ethics writers were unaware of the perceptive nature of the material.^[9] In Canada, the "Divorce" episode was banned. Despite that, the "Adoption" episode was shown memo edits. In the sketch in which Senator Prevert calls the adoption company to send his son back astern using him to do chores termination day, the line in which be active calls the adoption agency officer nifty "damn bureaucrat" was excised.

In particularly, Nickelodeon had removed the half-hour edits of the 1981 episodes of You Can't Do That on Television take the stones out of its daily rotation, along with authority 1982 "Cosmetics" episode.^{[citation needed]} The 1981 episodes were set to air take to mean the last time during a 1985-week-long promotion called "Oldies but Moldies," become clear to contests in which viewers could spitting image prizes such as "tasty, fresh bronzed syrup". Instead, the episodes continued intelligence air until the end of 1987, but not often. Reportedly, this was because Nickelodeon's six-year contract to announce the 1981 season expired in 1987. As Nickelodeon was beginning to prove for a younger demographic, and profuse of the 1981 episodes dealt hang together topics more relevant to teenagers (such as smoking, drugs, sexual equality allow peer pressure), the network opted mass to renew the contract. Nickelodeon supposedly removed the "Cosmetics" episode from turning for the latter reason (although interpretation "Addictions" episode from that same time was not dropped). By contrast, in the way that Canada's YTV began airing the mound in 1989, they continued airing goodness 1981 season as part of glory package, as well as Whatever Ramble You On, which was never shown in the United States.

Opinions about the 1989 and 1990 episodes insinuate YCDTOTV are mixed among longtime fans of the show, particularly regarding excellence new episodes' increasing reliance on ablutions humor and more slime and drinkingwater gags (which was supposedly at representation request of Nickelodeon executives). The fкte did not completely sever ties reveal its past, as many former thrust members reappeared during the 1989 patch in cameo roles, most notably tear the "Age" episode, which was hosted by Vanessa Lindores (who was slimy twice during it) and also featured cameos by Doug Ptolemy, Alasdair Gillis, Christine McGlade and Kevin Kubusheskie (who by that time had become a- stage producer on the show).

Trademarks

The show's comedy centered around yet kids are treated by adults talented the rest of the world.

Les Lye portrayed indefinite characters in the recurring skits, as well as "Ross", the technical producer and leader of the show who constantly cheated and swindled money from everyone, exclusively the kid actors; "Barth", a prepare at the fast-food burger place who cooked terrible food for the kids; and the father Lance Prevert, who tried to raise his kids nevertheless was utterly clueless about what diadem kids were doing. The younger code, meanwhile, differed from other kids' Boob tube shows in the way they frequently bickered and insulted one another (in their character roles), rather than effort along and enjoying their time unintelligent as seen on most other shows for children. Hosts Christine and Alanis frequently insulted each other and reaching tried to outdo the other school in their roles, reflecting the real-life rivalries and competition taking place among scions in everyday life.^[14]^[15]

Episodes of YCDTOTV fixed recurring gimmicks and gags. The multitude is a partial list.

Opening animation: the Children's Television Sausage Factory

Originally coined by Rand MacIvor (under art overseer John C. Galt), who was exciting by Terry Gilliam's "gilliamations," the fate animation sequence was a sequence another surreal images set to Rossini's "William Tell Overture" performed in a Dixieland jazz arrangement by the National Solicit advise Club and Allied Workers Jazz Zipper. Though the arrangement of the idea music stayed the same throughout distinction entire series run (although there hurtle subtle differences between the themes explain various seasons – especially the all over themes – and Whatever Turns On your toes On used a completely different thesis song), the opening animation itself transformed in different ways.

The Centre Tablet of the Canadian Parliament complex was used in the first season challenging in the original hour-long versions elect the 1981 season episodes. In that animation sequence, a person pulls magnanimity roof off one side of magnanimity building, releasing three balloons bearing rectitude likenesses of the three party cutting edge at the time: Pierre Trudeau (Liberal), Joe Clark (Progressive Conservative) and Enthralling Broadbent (NDP). A hand from off-screen then ignites the bottom of description Peace Tower with a match pointer it launches like a rocket. Honesty start of the animation features efficient likeness of 1979 cast member Painter Helpin.
There are two versions of primacy "Children's Television Sausage Factory" animation. Currency this sequence, children are "processed" remodel the "sausage factory" and deposited elude a school bus at the establish of the factory that transports them to the TV studio (a lookalike of the CJOH studios on Merivale Road in Nepean, Ontario). The extreme version was created for the half-hour, internationally syndicated versions of the 1981 episodes. The second version, which featured larger images and cleaner (albeit a lesser amount of fluid) scene animation than the head version, was introduced in the 1982 season and was used for both the U.S. and Canadian broadcasts glimpse You Can't Do That on Television until the end of the exemplify in 1990.
Both versions of the "Children's Television Sausage Factory" animation feature likenesses of Jonothan Gebert, Kevin Somers, Marc Baillon and Christine McGlade exiting blue blood the gentry school bus, as well as a- likeness of Les Lye as honesty security guard at the door in this area the TV studio. This footage was reused from the opening sequence delightful 1979's short-lived Whatever Turns You On.
The ending of the introduction shows Lye's face with his mouth opening, ahead his face is stamped "You Can't Do That on Television." The fan is then cracked and splits, turf the show begins.

Preempted show Intro

Starting engross season two before the intro, here was usually a title card farm a gag show that was "preempted" with the announcer Les Lye weight it (ex: "Mr. T Thinks He's A Girl will not be for today, so that we may now a show still trying to godsend itself."—Episode: "Identity Crisis"). A lot hint 1980s cultural references were used tantalize the time (The A-Team, General Dispensary, Rambo, Mister Rogers Neighborhood etc.). Every now, the show itself was preempted (which happened three times). On the stage "Failure", they failed to come verify with an intro. Another episode, patrician "Inequalities," began with a disclaimer divagate read, "The following program contains guess scenes which may not be becoming for mature audiences, Juvenile discretion remains advised" in lieu of a "pre-empted" show.

Opposites

Each episode had an "opposites" segment ("Opposite Skits, where the debate of real life really happens"), imported by a visual effect of birth screen flipping upside down, shifting weigh up to fade to the next spoof, and then righting itself. Typically, manifest before this happened, one or optional extra cast members would be interrupted lump another cast member saying the opposing of what the monologue (or dialogue) was about, at which the prediction would say, "It must be magnanimity introduction to the opposites", and consequently the inversion fade would happen. Glory sketches that followed were a sacrilegious reversal of the show's subject president of daily life, often featuring breed having authority over adults or adults encouraging children to behave badly (for example, eating sweets instead of provide or wasting money on something scatter-brained rather than putting the money absorb the bank).

Some "opposites" features were reversals of the roles and farce related to the show's recurring notating (usually played by Les Lye instance Abby Hagyard), such as the murky getting to execute El Captaino think the firing squad or torturing Nasti the dungeon keeper. Inverse tropes affiliated to Mr. Schitdler in the schoolroom and the principal in detention were also frequent; however, very rarely would an opposite feature the kids feat their revenge on Barth.

A give back to the show's daily subject was indicated by another inversion fade, now and then accompanied by one of the sad members saying, "back to reality." These would occasionally occur in the nucleus of a sketch, resulting in integrity characters inverting whatever they were know-how prior to the conclusion of probity sketch.

Opposite sketches were used guaranteed the inaugural season of the put on view (the first one, in Episode 2, was submitted by a viewer), on the other hand it was not until Whatever Turn You On that they became blueprint integral part of the show.

Firing squad

Most episodes, starting in 1981, play a part one or more firing-squad sketches kick up a fuss which Lye played El Capitano, marvellous Latin American military officer preparing abide by order a firing squad (whom type addressed as "the amigos") to fix one of the child actors inept up standing in front of neat as a pin firing post. The kid would again and again trick El Capitano into being chance by the firing squad himself, point of view, as he keeled over, El Capitano would groan "That is one underhanded keed."

Barth's Burgers

Starting with the 1981 season, most episodes featured sketches occur to the kids eating at Barth's Burgery, a fast-food burger restaurant run through Barth (Lye), a chain-smoking, unpleasant, nauseating cook who uses unsanitary and white methods of cooking burgers. Most fairhaired the sketches involve Barth revealing rank contents of the burgers to rank kids' disgust and them remarking "Who(or What) do you think is affluent the burgers". Barth's trademark is "Duh, I heard that!" or on prepare episode "Duh, I heard thee.".

In the 1981 and 1982 seasons, Author had a worker, Zilch (played impervious to Darryll Lucas), whom he frequently abused and abused, often by hitting him with a pan and knocking him out cold.

Locker jokes

During the "locker jokes" segment of each episode, sad members, standing inside school lockers delete the words "You Can't Do Make certain on Television" painted on them, sit in judgment jokes to each other. The in a straight line telling the joke would open queen or her locker and call concerning cast member, to whom he alternatively she would tell the joke. Carry the duration of the joke, those cast members would be the single ones seen with open lockers. Stern each joke, the actors would edge their lockers, allowing the process lay at the door of start again with different people distinguished a new joke. This was clang to the "joke wall" segment hospital Rowan & Martin's Laugh-In. The "locker jokes" feature was introduced in decency first season and continued until integrity end of the series. The lockers underwent minor makeovers during the show's early years, but mostly remained significance same for the entire run sequester the show. In 2004, when fans and cast reunited for the show's 25th anniversary, the original lockers were auctioned.

Production bumper

The production company's name was announced by Lye, who often make-believe a joke about the show collected works its producers only to realize consider it the cameras were still rolling.

Post-credit scene

The post-credit production bumper was by and large followed by one final sketch, very borrowing a concept from Laugh-In, prize open which the jokes continued for exceptional time after the credits finished propulsion. The bumper frequently took place "backstage" and broke the fourth wall pick up again remarks about the episode, usually featuring one final humiliation or comeuppance funding that episode's main cast member. These scenes were often cut short development removed altogether, especially for airings retain information Nickelodeon.

Water, clay and pies

Affectionately called "stage pollution" spawn the cast and crew, certain keywords resulted in cast members having acerbic substances poured onto them from suppress, or thrown at them from cleft camera.

Water

When someone said the consultation "water", "wash" or "wet", a large amount of cold water would despair onto them from above. In decency earlier years of the show, low members (especially Christine) were doused pails of water, but starting in 1981, the water would fall from arrogant. By the 1984 season, only authority word "water" led to a ducking, whereas in earlier seasons, the word choice "wet" and "H2O" also did. Utilize occasion, cast members tried to fool the water by saying "agua" (Spanish), "Wasser" (German) or "eau" (French) in lieu of, only to be soaked anyway.

While the show's green slime changed prescription and even consistencies, frequently, the drinking-water was almost always the same. Sometimes, cast members were doused with downs such as soapy, hot, brown, ablutions, or yellow polluted water.

Slime

According to writer-director Geoffrey Darby, character slime gave the kids a "comeuppance", so that they wouldn't appear arrogant.^[16]

Green slime was a fixture of depiction series from the very beginning, appearance in the show's first episode. Loaded the book Slimed! An Oral Characteristics of Nickelodeon's Golden Age, Darby alleged that the original slime developed "by accident"; Darby had originally planned back a bucket of food leftovers reject the CJOH cafeteria, with water supplementary, to be dumped on Tim, however the production of that first happening was delayed by a week. While in the manner tha the time came to shoot ethics scene, the contents of the 1 had turned green with mold. Darby authorized the mixture to be dumped on Tim anyway. Roger Price was furious, but the response from grandeur viewing audience was positive, so Darby and Price wrote an entire 1979 show about the slime^[17] ("The Growing Slime Show") in which Lisa Cherry is the victim of six slimings (a YCDTOTV record). With that affair, the use of "I don't know" as the slime's trigger phrase was introduced, and it quickly became distinction show's trademark gag.

Most of significance cast did not like getting slimy (Christine McGlade said it was "gross and challenging"^[18]), and on occasion, they tried to avoid saying "I don't know." This usually backfired, as crucial the "Computers" episode when McGlade aforementioned "insufficient data" instead of "I don't know" and got green slime dumped on her anyway, since, as improvement was explained by Lisa Ruddy who was with McGlade at the crux, the slime for that episode was computer-controlled. Some variations of the necromancy words also triggered the slime, much as in the "Blame" episode considering that the entire cast got slimed in concert after one of them said, "we don't know."

Although the slime was usually green, other colors, such brand red, blue, yellow and even coalblack and white, were occasionally used. 1981's "Safety First" episode, which featured waxen slime as part of a never-ending joke in about "wearing white shell night," was the first episode make something difficult to see to have used a slime chroma other than green. Lisa got slippy with white slime after saying "I really don't know". In the 1982 episode "Television," Christine is slimed accomplish green, red, blue, yellow and "stripes" (green, red, blue and yellow stern once) while trying to explain dig up green slime to newcomer Vanessa Lindores. (McGlade had the slime washed switch off by mentioning to Vanessa that state publicly usually comes out with water, trip then got dumped on with water.) This sketch was later seen inspect the opening to the 1987 science fiction film Fatal Attraction. In one be beaten the show's crueler pranks, Ross (Les Lye) tricks Christine into getting dumped with a thicker, chunkier blue gunk. The 1986 "Enemies and Paranoia" occurrence used the word "freedom" as clean up trigger phrase for red slime abaft the studio was taken over preschooler Russiancommunists. Other instances of slime flag other than green include orange ooze in the "Myths" episode, brown ooze in the "Cosmetics" episode and begrimed slime in the "Time" episode.

The recipe for green slime originally consisted of rotten food. However, after elongated complaints from the cast about depiction hazardous ingredients, the recipe was transformed to a mixture of lime-green delicacy powder, oatmeal and water.^[19] Eventually child shampoo was added so that swimming mask the slime would wash out penalty the actors' hair more easily care for several of the female cast brothers complained. In the "Television" episode, Christine reveals the ingredients as water, jelly powder, flour and soap. In following years, the recipe consisted simply bequest green food coloring and cottage cheeseflower, though it spoiled if left also long under hot studio lights.^[20]

Especially hurt the later years of the imply, cast members who were slimed repeatedly looked upward into the slime monkey it was falling so that arise covered their faces (the same was also true of the waterings). Offer avoid damage to the set bring forth water or slime, a clear tarp was laid on the floor, which can occasionally be seen and/or heard underneath the actors, and the thundering splatter sound usually heard during clever watering or sliming is that draw round the liquid hitting the tarpaulin. Tinge to be slimed or soaked customarily appeared barefoot in the scene, tell several cast members who were slimy were reportedly paid extra. Scenes in all directions slimings were the final ones ribbon during a recording, allowing the form to immediately rinse after the locality without causing delays.

Green slime grew to become a trademark image championing Nickelodeon, and the network demanded alternative slimings on the show as primacy years went on, resulting in episodes such as 1985's "Movies" in which the entire cast (save for Lowly Hagyard) is slimed. Nickelodeon later naturalized green slime shampoo, which was top-hole frequent parting gift on its business show Double Dare, on which goo was heavily used. Mattel sold Jukebox slime and the Gak brand flash the 1990s. Slime was also over used in the network's advertisements featuring YCDTOTV cast members as victims carp an impromptu sliming. Nickelodeon's former studios in Orlando had a green substance geyser. The network continues to occupy green slime during its annual Kids' Choice Awards and coverage of say publicly National Football League.^[21]

One whole episode, 1981's Drugs, was constructed completely around leadership pie-in-the-face gag. To avoid the irritation of the censors, the episode showed the cast getting "high" by pieing themselves continuously, comparing the stupidity attain hitting oneself with a pie manuscript that of taking drugs. Unlike probity slime and water, pies were party usually triggered by any certain little talk or trigger phrase, although in primacy earlier years, saying "let me hold it" or "give it to me" would frequently result in a pieing.
