Pluskylang Great Film overall
Claysaba Excellent, Without a doubt!!
AshUnow This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.
Kien Navarro Exactly the movie you think it is, but not the movie you want it to be.
lutheranchick Even as a child I never really liked this show. It was extremely repetitive and gross, with lots of jokes about rotting food, etc. The child actors were very run-of-the-mill and the adults looked like they were sitting out a spell in purgatory. I think much of people's adulation of this show comes from the fact that at the time it was on the air, cable was still quite a luxury and being able to watch it was one of the bragging rights of elementary school. Perhaps this show should have been named "This Program Is Not Up To The Standards Of Network Television" to help clear up any confusion. I am not surprised that most of the actors involved (excluding the little-seen Alanis, of course) faded into obscurity.
kenonutt223 Now there's another show I used to watch all the time. One thing I found REALLY funny was that the Brother and Sister tug of war, with the Michael Jackson Record. And their mother came over because she heard the complaining about the record and she said "There is only one thing to remember". And the girl handed her mother the record, and she snapped the record in half with her left leg and says "There, now you get to share the Michael Jackson record. I even thought Michael Jackson is a queer because of the clip LOL. Another clip I like was the exaggerative homework saying "from page 103 to 896,491" LOL. I used to love that show as well. Ever since I was a kid, I watched that show all the time. I wonder what's the name of the episode with the Michael Jackson record, and the episode with the exaggerative homework? Someone should find out.
MIKE OVERALL Ever wonder what Alanis Morrisette looked like at 15? Well, she had short short hair and her teeth weren't nearly as...big? Anyways, "You Can't Do that..." was never hilarious or substantial, but it was always fun to watch. You always knew what was coming but you waited for it nonetheless. I'm glad I was able to watch it when I lived in Canada for 2 years in the 80's. Just knowing what it was all about even if I can never go to SlimeCon is more then enough for me. BTW, in case anyone was wondering, Alisdair Gillis is completely bald! Still has the same ol' face though. Besides Alanis becoming famous, Adam Reid managed to squirm his way onto several movies and TV shows (think Facts Of Life reunion). I think some channel should reunite each and every cast member just so we can see how everyone has changed and what they're up to.
Matt M. I have grand nostalgia for YCDTOTV and have been wondering for years why Nick hasn't shown it! To a seven year old, the short attention span sketches, empowered children and the general anarchy were the best thing on TV. Les Lye had some great adult characters which were common in any child's life: the goofy dad, the nebbish arcade store owner and the cafeteria chef who put the RAT in ratatouille. These were the type of authority figures we seven year olds wanted to get back at! And, thankfully, YCDTOTV offered a great revenge fantasy for any kid.Unfortunately, I actually got a chance to watch the show recently and I could hardly sit through the first five minutes before shutting it off. It was horrible, and some memories are better left in 1988. Stay there, please: Don't bring it back!!!
