@deesyphrr My mother is the touchiest woman in the world,but she never said boo about us watching this.I never thought of the Firing Squads skits as inappropriate at the time,but this show sure was cutting edge for the 80’s.
This show was awesome!It help take the anxiety of divorce and made it funny!I only wish that they would release it in a dvd set! I would love for my children to watch it!
icarly and spongebob i love those shows those shows are good expect for true jackson vp that show is totally stupid
@only257 Not to mention iCarly or spongebob.
they sould bring back these episodes on nick…..
I love the part when Lisa got slimed with half a slime.
great show thanks for uploading this episode bringing back memories, man has nick gone dumb down with true jackson vp that show is stupid and pointless!
Its Snoopy in a sombrero, leaning against a cactus!
I’m 30 and I still laugh anytime someone says “water”.
Whats that picture of on 6:12 in the background..
Ross: I’m going to give her a piece of my mind!
Moose: Sure you can spare it?
LOL
Its not as controversial as current shows, such as South Park, certain episodies of King of the Hill, Family Guy and American Dad.
Well yea, of course THOSE shows push the envelope, but I mean kids shows on like you said pussified Nick. This stuff is racy in todays kid show standards
and in turn, i see your point, but also south park does not have a child-dominated cast on a regular basis.
you’ve got a point there, but you should check out the Pokemon episode in Season 3 of south park. The spoof Alabama Man commercial uses kid actors who do and say things that are at least as controversial as anything that took place on this show. The Christmas episode in Season 1 has another spoof commercial that uses kids for a Mr. Hanky doll, which is quite risque.
i agree.. they are very controversial shows – however, using kids in skits that are controversial is something you really couldn’t do on television
Moose was her real life child nickname cause she was ironically small for mer age. At least thats’s what the Slime TV website and interviews said.
well, South Park and Family Guy have done a lot that’s similar. You are right, however, that you truly couldn’t do this on Nickelodeon anymore. I seriously hate Nick. It got it’s balls ripped off and became so goddamn sanitized.
ummm I don’t know. ACK! *tries to dodge the slime*
fuck i love the execution parts, haha
what made them get slimed again?
I love how you truely couldn’t do this on television now. One of the greatest shows of all time.
one of the three reasons this show is awesome
HAHA! This was great TV back in the day. Golden stuff that would never see the airwaves to this day since it is not considered ‘P.C.’
I don’t know. *gets slimed*
Best part is 1:25 to 1:37 – Marjorie ALMOST called Alasdair a “bastard” (“DON’T SAY IT!) LOL
