Les Lye 1924-2009

From CTV Otawa:

"CTV Ottawa legend Les Lye passes away

Actor and broadcaster Les Lye passed away on Tuesday at the age of 84.

Born in Toronto, Lye came to Ottawa after graduating from Lorne Greene's Academy of Radio Arts in 1948.

He joined CFRA Radio, where he served listeners for more than a decade. It was at CFRA, that he worked with Rich Little and they collaborated on a comedy album, 'My Fellow Canadians' - a spoof of the Diefenbaker years.

In 1961, he joined CJOH-TV as a freelance writer and performer. It was here, that he forged a long-lasting partnership with Bill Luxton. Together, they created the popular 'Willy & Floyd,' which ran for more than 20 years. Such personalities as Alanis Morissette, Klea Scott, Bruno Gerussi and Margaret Trudeau would drop by for surprise guest appearances.

Opportunity knocked when producers of 'You Can't Do That on Television' were looking for a versatile actor to play the many adult "foils" for the kids. Lye answered the call and instantly became a household name around the world.

Lye is survived by his wife Johnni, three children Brett, Daralyn and Emily."

I was a huge fan of his when I was a kid since You Can't Do That on Television was on Nickelodeon very often. I'm very sad to see him go, he was always my favorite actor on the show. I'll try and get some more episodes of YCDTOT uploaded in honor of Les. Until then, I do have a few episodes already posted.

You Still Can't Do That On Television

I thought it was time to warp more of your minds with a few more episodes of You Can't Do That On Television. The best Canadian show ever made with the word Television in the title. No Alanis this time, but we do have Vanessa and Dougie, they're pretty good too. They were both in a program called UFO Kidnapped before YCDTOT - if anyone knows where to find that please let me know, I'm not having any luck.

Three episodes (touching on subjects such as Outer Space & Space Travel, Pessimism & Optimism, and Fears, Worries & Anxieties) on Megaupload. You can download them, or just watch them using the MegaVideo feature. Enjoy, and here are a few things to watch for:

The Return of the Trapezoidal Hitler
Alasdair in Chains
Super Monster Theatre - From The Makers of Monster Chiller Horror Theatre!
The Incredible....Spock?
Durand Durand: The Early Years. You know, minus the wings.

You Can't Do That On Television

This is Barth, Alasdair, Alanis, Christine (weird name, right?) and the rest of the gang from the strangest young adult sketch program to ever come out of Canada: You Can't Do That On Television

Nickelodeon announced about a year ago that they would be releasing DVD sets, but I'm pretty sure they decided to drop that idea for whatever reason. It's actually a bit odd considering the show was actually on for a decade. I'm sure it would sell at least as well as Clarissa.

The show is probably best known for the early appearances of one Alanis Morissette. Who ever would've thought that young, half Wolverine/half Fats the Dummy haircut-having Alanis from You Can't Do That On Television would grow up to sell 55 million albums, then star as God in a Kevin Smith movie? I for one, did not see that one coming. She actually wasn't in all that many episodes, but I did include two of hers here today. She's in Parties (anyone?) and IRONICALLY* she's also in the Pop Music episode. Well, I guess that's more coincidental than ironic, really. Oh well, I'm not changing it.

I'd go into more detail aboot the show, but YCDTOTV.com has everything you could possibly ever need to know about the show. Including current photos of many of the 100+ cast members who appeared on the show over the years.
