I think it just a waste airing this, good thing Ghost adventure crew realized it's fake. This is why I hate seeing investigations of supposed demonic possessions of house. Like that Demons of Seattle. I rate this as 3 because any other ghost show will milk this crap as real. 3 stars for finding out the truth of the lies.

When I was a kid growing up in the 80s, this show was the most popular show. I remember doing a writing on the show in grade 3, and the class responded well when i said the title, So it was popular. My favourite was Christine and Lisa. Those 2 backs must been sore, they carried the show during its heyday in the early 80s. When they left and most of the original cast from its heyday, it wasn't the same. I assume the kids grew up and pursue other passions or too old to be on the show, but that would be a crock I would loved to see Christine as a late 20s as the 3rd adult on the show. I like Les Lye, what a true star doing all adult male skits. RIP.

My favourite skits were the opposite skits where they show what wouldn't happen in real life like the mother allowing her teenage daughter with makeup on and look like a tramp. And the running gags of whats in Barthy Burger Overall from a 34 year old man looking back on YouTube episodes for nostalgia, I still get a laugh here and there. But I find some skits are too fast or repetitive, if the skits were more thorough it would been better. Generally it is a good show. But one beef I have is, it's theme is "You can't do that on Television." hence its name, trying too hard to push the boundaries with it's risqué content. Like the boy's audition for the show where he can't wear white as a rule, he had to strip his shirt, T-shirt, then pants, it came close to his underpants, where it could of been paedophilia. It is trying to hard to be controversial. Then there's the banned Adoption episode, and this is supposed to be a kids show.

I don't know why all the negative reviews here. This show was really funny 1st 5 years or so, but all good shows run out of steam, especially when you recycle jokes or scenes. Mike from Canmore scenes what I remember the show. If this show was terrible it would be gone long time ago, but it's been on since 90's and even way before hat on radio. Yeah the show got stale, and I don't watch no more. When I watch it, I found it funny and entertaining. Ever since John Morgan retired and passed way (RIP) it wasn't the same, and Roger Abbott's passing, his skits were truly funny and delivered well. Now the show has new faces, the show moved on. May not be the same as 1993, "but the show must go on." I give it a 5 of 10, which is fair or average. Not terrible as many would say.
