Changes aka Project 131

Because of the 25 year anniversary, the cast (having been doing the show all these years, but is so bad that no one will air it) are given one final aired episode. Ross is retiring, Brodie is given the new Chez Barth's, Vanessa (who is with child) and Marjorie are up to no good, and Alasdair and Justin are mad because they weren't in enough scenes. Things are changing...but, is change good? Will the kids finally be relieved of their duties at the show as the ultimate change? This is the official reunion episode of the series.

Aired: 07/21/04

    Amazing! hide « show »

    My brother had a bunch of episodes of You Can't Do That On Television taped on beta machine tapes and I watched them off and on for years back home in Ottawa. It was such a great show! I wish they would bring back You Can't Do That On Television both in reruns and maybe also make a new version of the show with a new cast, I think they would be great airing them back to back. It was a great show for kids that doesn't talk down to them, and the skits are actually funny unlike most kids/preteens comedy shows today which are just annoying, predictable and awful. Bring it back!

    Green Slime, Water, and a whole lot more hide « show »

    I grew up with this show and enjoyed watching it. I especially enjoyed Christine, Lisa, and everyone else getting drenched with water and getting slimed. All the cast members were very good. However, I believe that Christine was the best cast member on the show. Lisa Ruddy was a big motor-mouth. Christine was better known as Moose. Les Lye was the boss of the show and did as well as any adult cast member on the show. I believe this show should rise again with a new generation of cast members. In the event this show is ever released to DVD I would buy it without a doubt.

    What do you thinks in the Burgers? hide « show »

    My friends and I still laugh at this show. I actually found it on Ebay and got a VHS with a few episodes on it for a friend who said she watched it when she was little too. I got it just for memories, in fact we were just talking about it the other day. That show obviously wasn't known for the great acting or the cheesiness, but for kids it was a great show, and it kept me entertained when I was little. I think it might have been the 1st show I ever saw when we got cable. This is show is prcatically a classic, there are so many catch phrases and skits from this show that will live on forever.

    I love this show! hide « show »

    I used watch this show with my dad and my older sister when I was younger. I think the show is funny. My old friend make a joke about it coming back on the air when I was in middle school. I used to sing the theme song all the time and my family didn't like it. It was funny people get slimed for saying I don't know and water dumped on them because they said. "Water". One of my classmates and I imitated the Firing Squad Scene when I was in elementary school and our teacher told us that We don't say Ready Aim Fire. I watched the show for Nickelodeon's Birthday and during Nick's Old School Picks. One time I asked my mom how come people got slimed for saying "I don't know" and she said that it was all part of the joke.
