The self-deprecating humor was one of my favorite things about YCDTOTV as well. I always loved the jabs at the show Moose threw into her introductions - i.e. "Welcome to an episode of YCDTOTV...

I will say that as rough as I thought Natalie's performance was and as weak as some of the 1983-84 episodes were (Politics is probably my least favorite), even a bad episode of YCDTOTV beats 99.9% of...

So who were your favorite - and least-favorite - kid actors in YCDTOTV history who appeared in only one episode?

My faves:
- Naida Gosselin in Poverty/Unemployment. Her acting was a little on...

That weird "chunky" recipe was also used on Jono in "Peer Pressure" and at least once after the '81 season - with Kevin K. in "Addictions" '82. Although Jono looked up three times while he was being...

That "Boogie Man" commercial is indeed hilarious. And, in a way, it skewers how unhip disco music was by 1982 as well. :D

The episode you're thinking of (re: the opposite sketch where Doug and Vanessa were in love) was "Mysteries and Crime" (1986). Which is also the same episode where she pied him during the closing...

I IDOLIZED Moose growing up watching YCDTOTV. She's long overdue for a fan site tribute.

You know, I always wondered how if the studio masters of the now-formerly-lost 1979 episodes allegedly no longer existed, how they were able to get such a clean copy of the inaugural slime scene with...

"Water"-mark or not (oops... I didn't just say that, did I??? Oh no...), it's a great treat to see the uncut half-hour version of this ep, which I think is one of the best of the '81 season. And...

I wonder how they made the Yellow Yuck. In the screencaps of the Yellow Yuckings provided on the site as well as the clip from the end of the series on YouTube in which Ronda Berkman (playing the...

Christine in "ESP, Magic and Astrology" '84. I love the way Moose tries to splash some of the water onto Lisa as it falls on her.

Amy in "Blame" '90. The water just comes out of nowhere, and in a...

Neat. Where did you dig up this info? I always thought the '82s would have aired later, since I thought I remembered reading somewhere that the '82 episodes were taped during the spring and summer...

Oh, of course! How could I forget Christian? My brain wasn't working. :)

I'd do a "Lisa Ruddy." Keep looking straight ahead, eyes closed, grin of resignation on the face, maybe a little nod.

Interesting that all the slimings mentioned here for "best texture" were...

Just like previous seasons, 1989-1990 had their strengths and weaknesses.

Strengths (in my opinion):
- The cast itself. I can't think of one single kid in 1989-90 that sticks out as a "bad...

I'm sort of with mcguinnfan on this one. As a kid I always thought it was gross and something I wouldn't want to have happen to me. I might agree to it today if I had a good setup, and I also don't...

According to IMDB, Stephanie Bauder's birthday is October 23, 1975.

Personally, I always thought that the way Christine was written at the beginning of that episode seemed a little jarring compared to the way she'd been written previously. For some reason, I can't...

I always thought the arcade jokes faded away because home video game systems like the Nintendo Entertainment System (introduced in 1985) were growing in popularity and arcades were losing money. ...

My take on the '89-'90 episodes is sort of a mix of what has been discussed here already.

The pluses: excellent cast. I think it's unfair to criticize the '89-'90 casts because they weren't...

Speaking of "debut before his debut," don't forget Martin Kerr's "unofficial" "debut" on the show was as a kid telling jokes in a Roving Camera scene. Also, in one of the '81 eps, there's a girl in...

Just a question that came to mind... does anyone know if the link set design was created especially for YCDTOTV, or if there were other CJOH productions that used it before or afterward?

Yeah, really.

I'd submit some write-in votes, but something tells me some of them would be rejected because they're men.

I'm not sure if any of them actually *liked* being slimed, but I'm sure in the end everyone - boys included - were willing to put up with it because it paid extra money. Some of the girls in the...

Paulinoo, are you Canadian by chance? Because I have heard that when YTV started airing YCDTOTV in 1988 or '89, they included episodes of the short-lived CTV network version from 1979 "Whatever...
