you can't do that on television

A show that started out on local TV in Canada on CJOH.
Executives of a station called "The Pinwheel Channel" in the US happened upon it and decided it was just what their station need. Then The Pinwheel Channel became Nickelodeon.
Then they had a hit.
Not only boosted the lulling stations ratings but also gave them their trademark slime scheme. Nick doesn't acknowledge this, perhaps because publicizing it will do no good to them. The slime would fall on someone when they said "I don't know." Water would also fall on someone who said "water."
It ran in the US from 1981-1990. It was such a big hit in the US, it left Canadians scratching their heads. Most Canadian children found the show disgusting and it never had a wide audience in its homeland.
Supposedly was cancelled because the show went through kids like a revolving door on crack and it was a tedious task to send royalty checks to 200+ different children.
Alanis Morissette appeared on about six episodes of the show in 1986, as a minor character.
GUY #1: Moose on You Can't Do That On Television was my first crush.
GUY #2: How 'bout Lisa Ruddy?
GUY #3: I don't know... (Glop...)
GUY #1: I'm so thirsty.
GUY #3: Would you like a glass of water? (Splash)

Parents Television Council

Hey, have you heard about the Parents Television Council?

Yeah, they hate on shows with sexual themes because even though they don't have any children at all. They're just gays in denial and hate being reminded of it.

White Entertainment Television

1) White Entertainment Television or WET is the fictional opposite of BET, Black Entertainment Television. Many white people think it's unfair that there's not a white version of BET.

2) The fictional TV station that has reruns of Friends, All in the Family, and Blue Collar Comedy. Reality shows like My Redneck Wedding, Rock of Love, Jersey Shore, and yet to be produced Recycled Trailer Trash (about people born and raised in trailers trying to live in the suburbs and enter corporate America), Survivor: Hood Version (a bunch of white people who think the worst about the hood try to survive in the hood).

Movies shown on the channel include Birth of a Nation, Beerfest, Song of the South, Driving Miss Daisy, Valley Girl, etc. There’s an interactive video countdown show featuring rock, pop, and country music. At night they show Lisa Lampanelli and Jeff Dunham at night, followed by Girls Gone Wild. They also have indie videos and death metal videos and have a 1/2 hour block of ICP videos. On Sunday Mornings they show Joel Olsteen and white preachers knocking people (usually women) on the forehead. Christen music videos by white artists play until 12pm and then it's back to regularly scheduled programming. Many of the fictional white people who know about this fictional channel hate it because most of the station shows white people in a terrible light. However WET’s founder sees it as an accomplishment because he feels he's giving the people what they want, a white version of BET.
Person 1: Why can't we have White Entertainment Television? It's not fair that there's Black Entertainment Television and not White Entertainment Television

Person 2: Dude, have you watched BET? Do you seriously want a white version of that?

elemental television series

a tv series where the central characters have the ability to manipulate the classical elements (water, fire, earth, air/wind, and aether/metal depending on the culture). some series include extra elements, such as ice, spirit, darkness, light, thunder, metal, etc.

in the series, the elementalists must battle an evil, and when one element is absent, they usually cannot carry out their objective. they are strongest when united.

also, each character's personality is usually reflected on their element. ex: fire is rash and impulsive; water is calm and collective; earth is nurturing and loyal; air is inquisitive and curious
some examples of elemental television series are:

Avatar: The Last Airbender
W.I.T.C.H.
Sailor Moon
Captain Planet
Xiaolin Showdown

of course, avatar and w.i.t.c.h are the best. :)
