Another part of my childhood has died

The actor who played Barth and all the other adults on You Can't Do That on Television (Les Lye) died.  I know lots of people die every day, but it seems like more celebrities than usual this summer.

I loved YCDTOT. That's sad.

=-(I had forgotten about that show - thanks for the flashback.

A couple years ago I found a website that was selling Bootleg copies of entire series of some of the Nickelodeon shows, and that was one of them, so I picked up a copy.  I think I'll rewatch some of it tonight as a memorial.

  My friend just started working at Nick and I requested they bring back YCDTOT.  He said he'd work on it.

They just need to start a Nick Classics channel to air that, Roundhouse, Salute Your Shorts, Clarissa, and all the other awesome shows from my childhood

Camp Anawanna, we hold you in our hearts. And when I think about you, it makes me wanna fart! It's I hope we never part now get it right or pay the price!This is the last straw. I'm making shirts that say "SAVE CLASSIC NICKELODEON"

AND are you afraid of the dark? I loved that show.

Fishy - I also have both of those on DVD at my house - along with Doug, Rocko's Modern Life, and the first seasons of Pete and Pete, Clarissa and Alex Mack.   More reason for you to come visit =P

Wow, this post is full of nostalgia. Every time I see the actress who played Alex Mack, I think about her morphing into that pool of water (?). Great memories!I'm on the Classic Nick bandwagon, I never understood shows like Hey! Arnold, Cat-Dog, Fairly OddParents, etc.

What about GUTS with the agro crag (sp?)! and Legends of the Hidden Temple with the blue barracudas and the silver monkeys. Classics.

ahhhh... thanks for the memories! Alex Mac... Are you afraid of the dark... I did snort just a little upon reading Fishy's "Camp Anawana!!!"

This is sad news, but it also might be my favorite post in the history of ever. I used to dress up like Clarissa (I thought) before watching the show. Side ponytail? You betcha.

Also, I wanted to be on GUTS and FI and I were the blue barracudas for Halloween a couple of years ago...

I loved YCDToT.  I used to watch it all the time.  It drove my brother nuts.So, yeah.  Win win.

This makes me so sad. That was my favorite show when I was a kid! And yeah you are right...it does seem like an awful lot of celebs have been dying lately.

Barth is gone?  That's so sad!  I may have to dig up my fake ice cubes with the flies in them in his honor.  Rest in peace, my hygenically challenged friend!

I thought the Blue Barracudas were from Legends of the Hidden Temple, which is different from GUTS. GUTS was individuals and they did the aggro-crag at the end of the game, no?
