You can't do that on Television

For those of us living in the past I was just remembering the old TV show "You Can't Do That on Television!" It was a kids comedy variety show on in the 80's on Nickelodean. I was surfing over at the onion and they had an article about how all the kids who got slime poured over them ended up getting some kind of weird ailment. It also mentioned Alanis Morrissete was on the show. Wow, I don't even remember that. I guess she got her start somewhere. I'm not really a fan of hers(too whiney). It might be fun to go back and watch her get slimed whenever she says "I don't know" or doused whenever she says "Water". I wonder if she is ever asked a question and refuses to say "I don't know" because of childhood trauma associated with sliming? That would be funny.

i also watched this show as a child. I always wondered why all those kids spoke so funny. Whenever they said "about", it came out as "aboot." It wasn't until later in life that I found out they were all Canadian and that if was filmed in (you guessed it) Canada. Weird talkers in the northern territory.
