Don't Look Now is an American national children's sketch comedy show[1] produced for PBS[2] by WGBH-TV in Boston, Massachusetts, and created by Geoffrey Darby and Roger Price.[3] It is a clone of their program for CTV and Nickelodeon, You Can't Do That on Television. The first episode[4] aired on October 2, 1983, and showed its final episode[5] on October 30, 1983. It was originally slated to be called Don't Tell Your Mother, but was later changed to its final title, Don't Look Now, due to PBS executive's concern that the title would encourage children to keep secrets from their parents. It was created out of uncertainty that their top show You Can't Do That on Television would continue,[6] and was cancelled possibly due to the complaints of parents for its content, and also Nickelodeon's concern that if had it not been cancelled it may have spelled the end of You Can't Do That on Television.
