Today I was reminded of
You Can't Do That on Television, possibly my earliest exposure to Weird Canadian TV(TM), though I didn't know it was Canadian at the time - I was about 8 or 9, and my sister and I thought it was the Best Show
Ever on my parents then-new cable tv subscription, and we both watched it obsessively.
I remember very little of it, and only the most obvious bits: the
Gilliam-esque intro, bad burger jokes and the
ubiquitous green slime.
It is a testament to my childhood obsession that we once attempted to make our own green slime, using dishwashing liquid and green food dye and I can't remember what else. I also can't remember who got slimed, but I DO remember that my mom was cool enough to let us carry out this theatrical experiment, as long as we kept it outside.
Good times...
