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.
