Thread: "YCDTOTV will be right back" bumper memory

    Default "YCDTOTV will be right back" bumper memory

    One of my memories of the show was that there was a bumper during breaks that said "You Can't Do That on Television will be right back" and showed Moose getting slime dumped on her head.
    This may in part be responsible for why it seemed like Moose got slimed even more than she actually did, (though she got slimed like 40 times, it felt more like a million!) because they used the bumper so much -so the iconic image of "the dark haird girl getting green slime dumped on her head" was cemented in so may Nickelodeon memories.
    A couple questions:
    1. Is the bumper on youtube? I swear I saw it not long ago in an old school Nick compilation, but I don't remember where.
    2. What Christine sliming (and from which episode) do they use in the bumper?

    Smile Bumper memory: 35 Television

    YCDTOTV will be right back memory comes from the 1982 episode #35 Television.
    It has Moose and Vanessa getting different colors of slime.

    In 1985-1986 The YCDTOTV will be right back was based on Moose and Vanessa getting different colors of slime.
    In 1987 the YCDTOTV will be right back was based on Mr. Wizard's show.

    Some (not all) of those bumpers are available for viewing on YouTube.

    I never looked at it as based on Mr. Wizard's World. I just thought it was a nod to the Science episode and Alasdair's quest to figure out what was in green slime.

    The bumpers memory I usually associate with the show were the early ones when Nickelodeon used Pinball logo and then the Christine/Vanessa and Mr Wizard style bumps.

    However, were the other commercial bumpers that were used in the 90s?

    actually the "Mr. Wizard" bumper is the one where the slime is like being made right? I think that plus the fact that the show's open had a factory type of theme made me think there was like an elaborate series of pipes above the kids heads that made slime and dumped it on the cast.
