Next
to the cast, the most popular feature of You Can't
Do That On Television was the green slime.
Anytime
anyone would utter the words, "I don't know," green slime
would fall mysteriously from the heavens above on the unsuspecting
victims. Although slime was by far the messiest, the show
also, of course, used plenty of other things to dump and
throw at its cast members. Two of the other most popular
elements used were water and pies. Water was at first triggered
by the words "water" and "wet", but "wet" was later removed,
leaving "water" the only word triggering a cold bath from
the sky. Pies weren't regularly triggered by a word or phrase,
but they did seem to pop up quite a few times.

that was dumped, tossed or splashed on the set during the
