I'd pay good money for this!
The level of creativity, surprising social commentary, understanding what would be funny to different kids hasn't, to my knowledge, yet been surpassed.
The younger kids were top knotch, the teens spot on up and commers and the adults all well known canadian actor-comedians. The care and feeling the children were given on set came through the camera. A viewer felt this was a safe space the let their guard down and enjoy themselves.
Production and direction were great and even the music and visuals of the intro were well tailored to grab the attention and memory of the children of the times. Heck I still get this intro in my head periodically.
The writing was some of the best children's sketch comedy post You Can't Do That on Television and for my money, slightly better. Topping that off was a mix of stop motion skits (bananas being people) and animated transitions (The Planktons on a microscope with drawn over silhouettes look like characters, Wonder Dud 'superhero')
To my memory it was the only for and by children's pure sketch show of the time with YCDTOT having a live band and hosting segment. Frankly I haven't seen children's entertainment match the format since.
I would pay good money for the full series... hell I'd pay good money for this show to make a comeback. Some of the clips on YouTube have stuck with me since '94 ... I'm 42 and still get random skits from this show in my head!
