    Things are never black and white, the disappearance of these episodes could be due to any combination of reasons. And who really knows the details of the five year contract but those involved, so I...

    I agree that the 81 shows had a very different "style" and that perhaps Nick wanted conformity amongst the shows they aired, which would also explain why they didn't choose to renew the contract. I...

    I wouldn't call the pulling of the 1981 episodes censorship.....I specifically asked Geoff Darby about these, and he clearly said that they were pulled because Nick only had a five year contract to...

    I LOVED The Tomorrow People!! It's very cool to see revived interest in this show, but somehow I just can't see it working as well without the silly costumes and hokey effects LOL (but then, I...

    It's interesting to me that there are 7 people here under 20......and this is coming from someone who discovered this board at the age of 12! But I was exposed to the show first because of its...

    Let me just say, I don't mind at all if you go ahead and change all you want that I wrote! I'll bet you guys can do a better job of it than I ever did anyway, especially now that you have all this...

    Yes, I did say I don't know, I remember above all being frustrated that it took so long, so the anticipation took its toll (I think they were purposely teasing us by making us stand there on the...

    They probably did, I can't remember for sure, but I already knew more-or-less what it was-basically what Christine said was in it in "Television", flour, jello, water, and shampoo (which is also the...

    For what this is worth, I *did* slime myself, and was in fact slimed once on the (re-constructed) set of the show....but I gotta say in retrospect, while it's cool for me to say I did it, it was a...

    Both of those were originally used in the WTYO pilot-but whether or not they were from the kids in the on-screen audience or an "additional" laugh track is nearly impossible to say now. Plus, the...

    The 79s never had a live audience-if you listen to them, you'll notice they had neither a live audience nor a laugh track (Christine pokes fun at this in one episode, in fact). The links on the WTYO...

    I guess what I meant by that is that the show seemed to be repeating itself fewer times....there were fewer running gags, and more nonsequiturs, or jokes we didn't expect. The "First Times" episode...

    I'm in the camp that says these episodes were amongst the most original episodes of the whole series. I've said it in the past, but I believe the show had two real bursts of energy-in 1979-81, and...

    Can't believe it's been so long!

    Just wanted to say hello from a long time contributor to this site who's been "out of the loop" for quite a while lately (if any of the "new people" here even know who I am anymore LOL)! I haven't...

    Thank you for being civil and not taking what I said as an insult!

    In defense of my comment about YCDTOTV being "just a TV show":

    I spent too much of my life making the movies and TV shows I loved my entire life. Anyone who frequented these boards a few years...

    My personal experience with Geoff Darby, which is limited to Slimecon 2002 admittedly, is exactly the opposite. He doesn't remember details because this is all almost 30 years in his past and he's...

    Very, very well said, BBOvenGuy. Took the words right out of my mouth.

    And to anyone who might say that weight criticisms are good for overweight kids, I have to say that, from my personal...

    Wonderful interview!

    (And may I add, from personal experience, that he is just about the most patient man on the planet....)

    I think it was the other way around. I believe people are going to have fetishes no matter WHAT shows they watched as kids.

    Geoff Darby said their whole point in the show was to show an exaggerated idea of the kids being abused, and yet also show how in spite of this the kids came out ok and saw the world with a positive...

    What the OP meant is that the "Work" sliming is the earliest one we know about. She could very likely have been slimed in one of the "lost" 1979 episodes.

    In "Transportation", the cities of Toronto and Winnipeg are referred to, but I guess that's only fitting since that was originally a "local" episode. There were probably others throughout the show's...

    Who knows what it is about Viacom and WTYO, really, but back when I was posting a lot of YCDTOTV and WTYO videos on YouTube, among the first ones that Viacom (and it WAS Viacom) took down were my...
