We were sitting down last night, chilling out after dinner and flipping channels.  We landed on the John Jon and Kate Plus 8 Christmas episode, one of the kids was singing “Joy to the world, the time has come” and I finished it with “for Lisa to recieve her slime”.  Which was what Lisa had sung once on the old kids TV show You Can’t Do That On Television following her sliming.

First, I marveled at the fact that I even remembered the song, then at the fact that I remembered her name.  Then I went further and remembered some of the other characters, Moose, Vanessa, Doug and Alex.  Alex was wrong, I was actually remembering Alasdair, but I was close.

Of course this prompted me to lunge for the lappy and hit YouTube, ya KNOW there’s got to be some YCDTOTV there…  I wasn’t disappointed

• Show opening
  
• Clip: Barth and the Health Inspector
• Clip: Barth and the Health Inspector II
• Clip: Locker Jokes
• Clips: Divorce Episode: One, Two and Three

That’s just a few, there’s more with sliming and water dumping and all of the other fun junk they used to do.  It’s amazing how much I remember from this show, it was like sitting down with an old friend.

If you were a fan as a kid, check out http://www.ycdtotv.com.  It has a lot of history about the show and other good stuff.  Good times
