Rare 1986 Clip Shows Young Alanis Morissette Getting Slimed on Iconic 80s TV Show
A recently resurfaced video clip from the classic 1980s children's television show 'You Can't Do That on Television' is delighting fans with a rare glimpse of a young Alanis Morissette. The clip, dating back to 1986, shows the future Grammy-winning singer-songwriter participating in one of the show's signature segments, where she is famously doused in green slime. 'You Can't Do That on Television,' which originated in Canada in 1979 before airing on Nickelodeon in the U.S. in 1982, was renowned for its irreverent humor and, of course, its iconic green slime. According to historical accounts, the notorious slime was initially made from rotten food but was later changed to a mixture of lime-green gelatin powder, oatmeal, and water following cast complaints. The show's unique approach to children's programming and its memorable moments, like the one featuring Morissette, continue to resonate with audiences, highlighting its enduring legacy in pop culture.
