You may not know the name, but if you were a pre-teen in the 80′s and had cable, you certainly know the face. Or if you’re a resident of Canada maybe you are familiar with this great entertainer’s voice and writing talent.
But for me, Les Lye will always be the folly of many foils as pretty much the only adult (aside from the one lady) cast member of Nickelodeon’s “You Can’t Do That On Television.” What else is there to say? I haven’t thought about the guy in years, but when I ran across this news today I have to admit it was a bit of a blow. Staple is maybe too strong of a word, but his passing has certainly brought a lot of memories flooding back. He will be missed.
Rest in peace sir! And thanks for the bundles of laughs and fond fond memories…

They could never make a show for CHILDREN like this anymore. Do you remember what they did to the students in detention?
