SlimeCon was the first official cast reunion and fan convention held in 2002 to celebrate the 1980s kids TV show You Can't Do That on Television. Held at the studios of CJOH-TV in Ottawa, Ontario, Canada, the three-day convention featured discussion forums, contests, episode showings, and appearances/participation by over several dozen cast members from the show.
SlimeCon was remarkably successful and drew attendees from across the United States and Canada to the very studios where YCDTOTV was created, taped and edited.
In 2004, a second SlimeCon was planned, marking the 25th anniversary of YCDTOTV. While many of the events that made the original SlimeCon successful were repeated, the highlight of the convention was the release of Project 131, the official final episode of You Can't Do That on Television. Highly-anticipated by YCDTOTV's fans, the completed Project 131 was shown twice at the end of SlimeCon 2004 and was in negotiations to be included with Nickelodeon's release of the series as a bonus feature before the project was shelved. Today, a copy of Project 131 resides with the master tapes of You Can't Do That on Television at CJOH-TV in Ottawa.
Two DVDs, containing convention interviews and archival footage from both the original SlimeCon and SlimeCon 2004, were released in 2005 but are no longer available to be purchased.
A third and final SlimeCon is in the preliminary stages of being planned for summer 2009, to mark the show's 30th anniversary. The fruition of SlimeCon 2009 solely depends on the voices of the fans, so let yours be heard!
