You Can't Do That on Television
You Can't Do That on Television is a Canadian television program that aired locally for the first time in 1979 and then globally in 1981. It included pre-teen and teen actors in a type of sketch comedy. Each episode has a distinct theme. Numerous performers, including Alanis Morissette, and writer Bill Prady, who later wrote and produced The Big Bang Theory, Gilmore Girls, and Dharma and Greg, began their careers on the show. The program was produced by and broadcast on the CTV station CJOH-TV in Ottawa. After production ceased in 1990, reruns of the show continued on Nickelodeon until 1994, when it was replaced by All That. At that time, the show was synonymous with Nick and had the greatest overall ratings on the channel. Additionally, the show is famous for introducing the network's distinctive slime. The show is the subject of David Dillehunt's 2004 feature-length documentary, You Can't Do That on Film.
