System Crash is a Canadian youth sketch comedy television series, which aired on YTV from March 14, 1999 to December 9, 2001. [1]

The series centred on a group of students in a junior high school media club, telling the events of their fictional school, Lambton Junior High, in the past week. [2] Each episode usually had a theme, e.g. parents.
