The creator
of YCDTOTV, Roger Price, not only gave us the greatest kids' television
show of all time, but he had many other notable media projects as well.
This page is dedicated to the other ventures in his illustrious career.

Something
Else was a one-hour game show produced locally at CJOH-TV
in Ottawa, Ontario, Canada in the winter of 1981. It went live every
Saturday morning from Studio D. [more] |

UFO
Kidnapped, a pilot for a proposed kids' science fiction series, was
written and produced by Roger Price and starred many of the kids from
You Can't Do That On Television as well as Les Lye. In 1983, when
YCDTOTV had been increased to airing on Nickelodeon three times a
week, Roger Price proposed this science-fiction series, which was
obviously drawn from his previous work on the Tomorrow People series.

Turkey
Television, a sketch comedy for youth, was ordered by Nickelodeon
as a result of the popularity of You Can't Do That On Television.
Created by Roger Price and Geraldine Laybourne, this series could
be described as "You Can't Do That On Television without a
linkset and messiness." But, the series had more sketches and
more situations than YCDTOTV. [more]

The
Tomorrow People are the next stage of human evolution: Homo Superior.
Gifted with various telepathic abilities such as telepathy, telekinesis
and teleportation (jaunting), these special teenagers are also unable
to kill. Sworn to defend the Earth from enemies both alien and human,
The Tomorrow People operate from a secret base known as the Lab, situated
in a disused London Underground tunnel, and are assisted by Tim -
a sentient, biotronic computer. [more] |

In
late 1982, Roger Price and Geoff Darby were asked to come make a version
of YCDTOTV for PBS in Boston. The series was originally called Don't
Tell PBS! (though it was soon changed to Don't Look Now! when network
executives realized it was too anti-PBS), and it followed much of
the original, 1979 & 1981 live format of YCDTOTV. [more] |
