I wish! Nick Gas should get its ASS in gear and run this show!

It'd be great if Nick aired it again. But to be quite honest, I don't think it'll probably happen. For one thing, the show is very dated, and I don't think kids today would be able to relate to it. And second, the show is very politically incorrect and I'm sure many parents of today would complain about it, therefore it would probably go through some heavy editing. Heck, even some parents back then wouldn't let their kids watch it.

I don't want people getting too awful excited since absolutely nothing is official and final yet, but I heard that the company that owns You Can't Do That On Television (which is NOT Nickelodeon) might be planning a DVD release, but there is a lot of red tape to go through first and I'm sure they wanna feel comfortable that it would sell. So basically, a DVD isn't impossible but yet it's not a done deal. I heard this at the YCDTOV.com's message board The Locker Room. Here is the actual message:
To those of you who haven't seen the front page of YCDTOTV.com yet, here is the latest on YCDTOTV episodes on DVD, courtesy of Charles Atencio.
"I recently e-mailed Carleton Productions to voice my views on getting a DVD release and look at the response I got!!!":

"Hello,

Actually, we are in the process of slashing through the red tape to get the show onto DVD for home video distribution. Stay tuned!"

In the meantime, you can download ENTIRE episodes (some even with the commercials intact) of YCDTOTV at www.barthsburgery.com It's an awesome site :)

When I was a kid, my brother used to watch that show on TV.

I read once on a Classic Nick board that one big reason they're not bringing it back was that....

It went for 11 (i think) seasons, with so many cast changes, so if they rerun it, they would have to pay every single person who went on that show (rerun payments... all shows get it). It would cost the show lots of moolah.

My brother and I missed "You Can't Do That on Television" a long time ago. I was in Puerto Rico when it was on. I'm worried about bring back the oldies. The last one I saw the show on TV since 1990 when I was in Brooklyn as a youngster at the time.

So when old SNL gets rerun, all of those cast members get paid? I wonder why Nick would do that back when SNL was on there.

we will almost certainly see ycdtotv again someday. the show actually is quite timeless (dated only by clothing and hairstyles), and is one of the most influential sketch comedy shows out there. everyone from our generation cites it as an influence. perhaps if a "nick classics" network, or something similar, launched we might see it. but i think a dvd set would be awesome.
