You Can’t Do That On Television

  • Season 5, Episode 17 “Colleges” [Jan. 4, 1985]

Each episode of this Canadian kids’ show (that aired on Nickelodeon in the States) had a collection of sketches organized around a common theme. On the episode about colleges, there were three jokes about Vassar. This was at a point when men could certainly attend (and it never awarded doctorates) so the jokes don’t quite work, but it’s interesting to see Vassar on a show aimed at middle schoolers.
