Revision as of 05:13, 5 February 2014
This show got a surprising amount of adult humor out there, though some of it that wasn't caught in Canada was caught and censored by Nickelodeon (see "Edited for Syndication" entry on the main page.) A particularly glaring example is the fact that the show either (depending on your perspective) got a Spin-Off or had its name changed for a season, which in either case resulted in a program called Whatever Turns You On.
Sex
- Several episodes had the famous water scenes where one actress always wore white shirts that appeared to be quite transparent when wet. How they were able to keep showing this girl's nipples on television is anyone's guess.
- "Hey Dad, you know how I you said I couldn't...you know...until I got married? Well, I'm going to get married. See ya later."
- "Television"
- An Opposite Sketch. Kevin and Lisa are watching TV in the bedroom, and there are some near-erotic sounds coming from the TV, in Kevin and Lisa's voices: "Oh, Kevin!" "Oh, Lisa!" Suddenly there's a knock at the door.
Lisa: Uh oh... |
- "Medicine"
Mrs. Prevert: How many times do I have to tell you... |
- "Seasons or Weather"
Christine: [introducing the show, dressed in a heavy overcoat and hat] I would just like to show you how the weather affects our lives - for instance, the clothes we wear. In the winter, we have to bundle up because we're suffering through that freezing cold! And then... [takes off overcoat and hat to reveal that she has on a red raincoat] comes the spring... with its soft spring rains. And then... [takes off raincoat to reveal that she is wearing a one-piece bathing suit] THE SCORCHING HEAT OF SUMMER!!! |
- "Censorship"
- A number of jokes revolve around black bars over cast members' pelvic regions turning out to merely be covering shorts once removed.
- "Luck"
Vanessa and Doug are playing cards as Valerie enters. |
- "Books and Reading"
Mrs. Prevert is washing a stack of books in the sink. |
Drugs/Alcohol
- On the "Drugs" episode, the show that was going to be pre-empted by You Can't Do That On Television is "Mr. Rogers: Neighborhood Pusher."
- "Rumors"
- The teacher Mr. Schidler talks about a rumor going around saying he's a secret alcoholic. He decides to put the rumor to rest by taking the bottle out of his desk and becoming an open alcoholic instead.
- "Heroes"
Two Boy Scouts are sitting on a house's front porch with a case of bottled beer. |
Violence
- "Parties"
Alasdair: Alanis... If... if you won't go with me to the network party, I'm just going to have to kill myself, that's all. |
- "Nutrition"
- A series of sketches in this episode involved Lisa talking too much. At one point, a school skit had all of the other students and the teacher pull guns out of their desks and aimed them at Lisa.
- "Addiction"
Christine: Now this is the ultimate video cartridge. It lets you play with your favorite TV program and do what you've always wanted to do. Like, you could shoot down all those stupid little Smurfs, or you could make The Dukes of Hazzard get into a 20-car collision, or you could sink The Love Boat; think of it - you could commit arson... |
- "Culture Junk"
An Opposite Sketch. Kevin comes in wearing a trenchcoat, hat and sunglasses, carrying a violin case. |
- "Censorship"
While all the kids sitting in the movie theater are cut down by a barrage of bullets: |
