The Worst Film Ever

Good start, but then it gets ruined

The first must-see film of the year.

There is, somehow, an interesting story here, as well as some good acting. There are also some good scenes

You Can't Do That On Television is an all time Canadian TV classic. If you have never seen it you missed out because it was funny, it was groundbreaking, it was hilarious and it had real people in it with real comedy talent, even though most of the people who appeared over the years were kids they were funny and relatable and just plain fun. I wish it had never ended or would come back. 10/10.

You Can't Do That On Television? Well guess what, yes you can do that on television and I know you can because you did. You did that on television.What a fun show this was!I barely remember it because I was so young but we watched it a lot I think and loved every minute of it. The kids on it were great and fun, not annoying and cloying and full of themselves like most young people you see on television nowadays. And the stuff they did was actually fun and funny!This is a great example of how good television can be made on a budget in Canada.A great lesson considering how many awful comedy shows are being made here now.

Today, a show like this would *never* get on the air.Consider the "Paranoia" episode, the one where a Russian television show called "Don't Do That On Television, Comrade" is threatening to invade. All in all, the link segments were rather spooky (air raid sirens, the broadcast being "hijacked" by the Russian version of Ross). Though not related to the ongoing invasion plot, there's a rather twisted scene where Adam is watching an old gangster flick and gets shot by one of the mobsters from inside the TV (played by cast alumni Kevin Kubecheski, along with fellow alumni Brody Osome). Adam slowly turns toward the camera, a look of shock on his face and a trickle of blood running from his mouth. The show climaxes with the old Soviet national anthem being played and the entire cast getting a cream pie in the face.Although it was my favorite episode at the time, it pretty much sums up why they'd never do it now. It was the early 1980s, and joking about nuclear war and making fun of Russia was a great tension relief, but that would never fly in today's PC world.

I cannot believe that Nickelodeon has taken off "You Can't Do That on Television" (due to PC reasons of course *gags*), in fact, it was THIS show that defined the classic slime gags on the Nickelodeon from the late 70's. through the 80's and the early 90's.My favorite stetches were the "Barfy Burgers", a satire on unkept restraunts, the part where the kid gets sludged for saying "I don't know?" and anything mocking strict municipalities.Too bad this got replaced with more PC CRAP like "As Told By Ginger", "Wild Thornberries" and "Rocket Power. Shame on you Nick!
