Richard Latanville When I was a kid growing up in the 80s, this show was the most popular show. I remember doing a writing on the show in grade 3, and the class responded well when i said the title, So it was popular. My favourite was Christine and Lisa. Those 2 backs must been sore, they carried the show during its heyday in the early 80s. When they left and most of the original cast from its heyday, it wasn't the same. I assume the kids grew up and pursue other passions or too old to be on the show, but that would be a crock I would loved to see Christine as a late 20s as the 3rd adult on the show. I like Les Lye, what a true star doing all adult male skits. RIP.My favourite skits were the opposite skits where they show what wouldn't happen in real life like the mother allowing her teenage daughter with makeup on and look like a tramp. And the running gags of whats in Barthy Burger Overall from a 34 year old man looking back on YouTube episodes for nostalgia, I still get a laugh here and there. But I find some skits are too fast or repetitive, if the skits were more thorough it would been better. Generally it is a good show. But one beef I have is, it's theme is "You can't do that on Television." hence its name, trying too hard to push the boundaries with it's risqué content. Like the boy's audition for the show where he can't wear white as a rule, he had to strip his shirt, T-shirt, then pants, it came close to his underpants, where it could of been paedophilia. It is trying to hard to be controversial. Then there's the banned Adoption episode, and this is supposed to be a kids show.

WrathChld This was truly one of the classic shows from my youth. This show stepped outside of the box separating itself from the ordinary shows on television. It really paved the way for many Nickelodeon shows that would come to follow. Take the slime for instance. Slime is one of the major trademarks of Nickelodeon and slime had its debut on YCDTOT. In my opinion this was a cross between "Married with Children" and a sketch show. The show wasn't timid like many shows found on Nick today. Probably because it's 2005 and not the 1980's, but still YCDTOT was allot more racy and edgy than any show I can think of that is now on Nick. Forget about the animated shows when thinking about my previous statement. I know animated entertainment seems to get away with things that other "real people" shows don't.I have good memories of this show and I wish it found its way back to the airwaves or at least DVD. I know. I have heard the reasons why it may never see the light of day again. I feel bad that I won't get to relive some off the wall humor, but more than that to think many generations won't know the joy of YCDTOT is a shame. Hopefully somehow it will be worked out and the show in some format will be seen again. Maybe just maybe someone will bring the show back with a new cast. It's about time we said,"I don't know" and got slimed.

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!!!

asherjdoak If it wasn't for "YCDTOTV", Nickelodeon wouldn't even be on the air. I was crushed when that show was cancelled because I very seldom missed an episode. Who could forget the green slime or water getting dumped on someone when they said "I don't know" or "water"? Or the little catch phrases like "Sometimes it's so easy, I'm ashamed of myself!", "Ready, AIIIM..." "Wait a minute! Wait a minute! Stop the execution!" "What is it this time?", "Blue skies, Barthy burgers, girls!", "What do you think's in the burgers?" and my personal favorite, "This is just the introduction to the opposites."? TV used to be so much fun back then! And to tell you the truth, whenever I had a detention, I was so glad I never had to copy a dictionary that was three feet thick. Whenever I look at some of the stuff that's on TV these days, I just wanna scream! If any show deserves to be put back on, it's "YCDTOTV".
