Mystery Monday & Sci Fi Monday
This is my grown-up version of the classic, The Third Eye but rather than focus on the supernatural I prefer mysteries and science fiction. In this series I alternate between traditional mysteries and science fiction films mostly from the ‘50’s and ‘60’s.

You Can’t Do That On Film
Classic Nick Wed. - You Can't Do That On Film
August 28, 2013
Weather you’re an 80’s Child or a 90’s Kid there is one show
that both groups of Classic Nickelodeon fans can agree on and that’s “You Can’t
Do That On Television!”
David
Dillehunt not only spent his youth watching 80’s Nickelodeon but as a
child he appeared in commercials for the network itself. Now as an adult he
steps back into his childhood to bring us “You Can’t Do That On Film,” a
documentary on one of Nick’s highest rated shows in the 80’s and 90’s.
Diehard fans who have never delve too deeply into the show’s
history will revel in nostalgia as Dillehunt compares the difference between
the show’s popularity in both Canada and the United States. He also gives us
insights as to how the show was cast, and how Les Lye’s value to the show was
easily overlooked.
Fans should also keep in mind that while this documentary
was recorded in Dolby Digital 2.0 this is still (very much) a low-budget,
independent film that results in the soundtrack being a bit rough in places
with the volume of the different interviews at different levels. But what it
lacks in consistent volume it makes up for in the extras!
In addition to the many interviews Dillehunt doesn’t
forget about the fans and throws in such fun things as the Slime-Con events
from both 2002 (22:52 mins) and 2004 (22:48 mins). They include Q&A with
the cast, a trip to a local burger joint who provided the burgers for all of
the Barth sketches, a visit to the capital building in Ottawa and a return to
studio where the show was filmed.
There are also four extended interviews including an all-new
24:53 minute chat with the show's creator Roger Price (who also created The
(OS) Tomorrow People), Les Lye (11:20 mins), Adam Reid (7:56 mins), and director/producer
Geoff Darby (6:02mins). Also included is the trailer for the documentary and an
automatic slideshow of images from the set of the show (3:53 mins), which are
presented at about half the screen's size.
The bottom line is that “You Can't Do That on Television”
was a rather impressive kids sketch show for its time that never talked down to
its audience. For those of us who would like the opportunity to wallow
in the nostalgia of fond memories of the show having this oral history
available is quite appreciated and well worth checking out, but ownership is
probably best left to show's diehard fans.

'You Can't Do That on Television' Star Dies

Canadian actor Les Lye, known to millions of North Americans in their 20's and 30's as the omnipresent adult on 'You Can't Do That on Television,' has died at 84। According to his CTV obituary, the veteran comic passed away on Tuesday. The cause is unknown.
Recent Losses in TV LandYouTube20 photos Les Lye, July 21: You know him as the foil to all those silly kids on 'You Can't Do That on Television' during the show's heyday। Lye died at age 84।
The Ottawa native was enjoying a successful career in radio when in 1979 he joined the then-local kid's variety show, where he played an assortment of adult roles opposite a cast of kids (including Alanis Morissette)। One of his most repeated characters was Barth, the gross proprietor of Barth's Burgery.
When 'YCDTOTV' moved over to Nickelodeon in the early 1980's, Lye became a household name। That is, if your home included children.
Lye appeared in every episode of every season he was in the cast, up until leaving the show in 1990। The show may be best known for it's signature sliming whenever someone said "I Don't Know."
Besides Barth, other memorable characters created by Lye were:
-- Ross Ewich, a studio director whose name rhymes with "raw sewage."
-- El Capitano, a firing squad captain hired to shoot the kids, but instead ends up getting shot.
-- Snake Eyes, a horrible bus driver.
-- Senator Lance Prevert, a drunken politician.
With fellow comic Bill Luxton, Lye co-created the comedy duo Uncle Will and Floyd, which appeared on Canadian TV for more than 20 years।
Lye is survived by his wife Johnni and three children।
