This review is from: You Can't Do That on Television (DVD)

I am 34 years old and have out grown this show but I am very nostalgic and think it's a shame that this show has just fallen off the face of the earth. It's a great show. I watched every episode when I was a kid. I even wrote letters to Les Lye, the man of many characters on the show, and he wrote me back every time. From Kevin Illianovitch Rasputin Kubacheski, Alasdair Gillis, Lisa Ruddy, and the rest. What happened? Why does Nick ignore the show that helped launch it to stardom? I'd rather my kids watch reruns of this than stupid MTV shows. Maybe we just need to complain a bit more.

So what I need to know is who owns the shows and how do we get this put on DVD already? I'd really love to see it again just to reminisce and here those great Les Lye one liners.

"da I heard that"

4.0 out of 5 stars Classic Kid's Show ...., December 31, 2006

YCDTOTV is undoubtedly one of the best kids shows ever produced. It would be grand to have all of the original Canadian series productions (even the ones Nick didn't air), in their original form, assembled in a high quality DVD set (in order, season by season). In spite of the fact this series is now almost 30 years old, I think kids today will enjoy it just as much as those who saw it when it originally aired. It would be a shame if this show was lost.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Show, December 11, 2006

This review is from: You Can't Do That on Television (DVD)

It is so sad that, like many other great shows, this show is not available on DVD. I'm also amazed that no one has brought the show back with a new generation of kids. It was such a great show, basically a children's version of The Carol Burnett Show. The budget of it had to be next to nothing, yet I still watched it whenever it was on. Today, we have all these big budget shows that just don't measure up.

Please please please bring this series out on DVD so that we, and a brand new generation, can once again enjoy the simple pleasures of water, slime, firing squads, dungeons, classrooms, detention rooms with big dictionaries, Barth's restaurant, and a host of other goodies.
