Local television
You Can't Do That on Televisiondebuted in 1979 on both CJOH-TV in Ottawa and ITV in United Kingdom as a low-budget variety program with some segments performed live. The show consisted of comedy skits, music videos (usually three per episode) and live phone-in contests in which viewer could win a variety of prizes (transistor radios, record albums, model kits, etc.). The format also included performances by local disco dancers and special guests such as Ottawa-based cartoonist Jim Unger. Ever...
National television in Canada and United Kingdom
After a successful first season, a national network version of the program entitled Whatever Turns You On was produced for CTV and debuted in September 1979 (having already aired an hour-long pilot episode in May). The format was shortened to a half-hour, removed local content, added a laugh track and replaced music videos with live performances from popular artists from Canada at the time, including Trooper, Max Webster, Ian Thomas and disco singer Alma Faye Brooks. Ruth Buzzi joined the cas...
Peak years
Later in 1981, the new American youth-oriented cable network, Nickelodeon, took an interest in YCDTOTV. Nickelodeon originally aired a amount of episodes in edited half-hour form starting on January 2, 1982 as a test run, since producer Roger Price and director Geoffrey Darby had edited the entire 1981 season of You Can't Do That on Televisionepisodes into a half-hour format similar to Whatever Turns You On for national and American syndication. Toward the beginning of 1982, Nickelodeon began...
Water
Certain key words would have the major result in cast members having substances poured on them from off-camera. This skit came on throughout every episode (along with the slime, too). When someone said "water" or "wet", a large amount of water would mysteriously cascade onto him from above. In the earlier years of the show, cast members (especially Christine) were frequently caught with pails of water physically thrown on them, but starting in 1981, this began to change to the much more myste...
Slime
1. Main article: Slime Likewise, when someone said "I don't know", green slime, a gross gooey substance, would pour on him from above. This prank was known as being "slimed." Green slime first appeared in the show's very first episode, telecast February 3, 1979. In a Detention/Dungeon scene, Tim Douglas is told to not pulling on his chains by the principal. After he leaves, Tim does just that. A "toilet flushing" sound is heard, and the first YCDTOTV sliming occurs. The first episode in which...
Pies
The original slapstick pie-in-the-face gag was also frequently used on YCDTOTV, although pie scenes were most common during the earlier years of the show. One whole episode, 1981's Drugs, was constructed completely around the pie-in-the-face gag: to avoid the wrath of the censors, the episode showed the cast getting "high" by pieing themselves continuously over and over, comparing the stupidity of hitting oneself with a pie to the stupidity of taking drugs. Unlike the slime and water, pies we...
