-Available on DVD: yes *

-Bib occurrence: medium
-Rating:  6/10
-Rating: ******
-Comment: About 8 or 9 yo dark haired Rodney Helal (pics 2+3) mainly in dark blue bibs, blond and female looking Jonathan "Jono" Gebert (maybe around 13 yo pic 1, also in dark blue bibs) and 15 or 16 yo Christine "Moose" McGlade (pic 4). They all also appeared in the "You Can't Do That on Television" shows or series (but I don't remember them in bibs except Christine).

Thanks very much db1 for pointing out this series. I wasn't aware of this or couldn't remember.

The show is almost the same as YCDTOTV (rating 6+) but that had much more seasons and so better 80s fashion and haircut.

I don't like boys with dark or longer hair and don't like the 70s. Almost every episode has some overalls appearance but in total rather few (see comment on YCDTOTV Christmas post linked in the Info 310 update. I only checked that episodes and some episode# are wrong). Mainly scenes with younger Rodney. Best for me is of course Jono.

So rating 5-6 only.

Pics: 1: Episode "Fan Letters & Summer Camps", 2: Trouble With Social Workers, 3: Winning the Lottery, 4: Boss Helal.

Another good episodes showing Jono: "Kevin Somers, Rock Star" with 2 good scenes sitting side/above scene and standing with 1 leg standing on top of a stage block.

There's a DVD available but not in perfect image quality (tape 7-8/10). Maybe similar than the YouTube clips.

An entry on my bedroom blog coming soon (rating 8) with boys in shiny shorts.
