Pre-empted
Show: Hit And Run On Sesame Street
Due
to the theme of the show (which is safety), Christine
attempts to explain how certain, everyday things (like
ladders, or, oh, say, chainsaws) can become dangerous
when used incorrectly. She, as well as other characters,
also lectures endlessly on wearing white at night.
Before the show is over, poor Christine is cut in
half, loses her head (literally), gets shocked and
gets 16 tons dropped on her (just to name a few things).

DID
YOU NOTICE?
- Only
the edited, 28-minute version of this episode exists.
- This
is about as daring as the show got by this point
in the show's production. In one sketch, Les (as
Barth) says "Damn" twice very clearly.
This scene was cut out when Nickelodeon edited episodes
from 1984 on, but survived the CJOH censors, the
CTV censors and Roger and Geoff's original editing
for Nick.
- This
is the only 1981 episode (and one of only two total
episodes) where Les's character, Producer R. Sole,
makes an appearance. Christine jokes about his name,
but on the Nickelodeon and CTV versions, his name
on the back of his chair is blurred.
