Any SCTV fans out there?

[StaggerLee]

I just rented volume one of SCTV's network 90 episodes and I get to keep them for a whole week!

Does anyone else love this stuff?

Also- are there other SCTV compilation DVDs that you know of?

Show me the love if you have it!

:hi:

1. I LOVE it! Don't have any DVDs, but TVLand is showing 4 episodes every

Friday night!

[StaggerLee]

6. I don't have cable

But it's stuff like this that makes me consider turning it back on again.

:hi:

[NYCGirl]

9. There's precious little on TV, but little things like this are golden.

I TiVo the episodes every Friday night, and I'm transferring them to DVDs. Hope they run these long enough to make a SCTV library! (They're still in the pre-Martin Short early Harold Ramis versions now.)

2. I loved SCTV. Joe Flaherty's vampire host of horror movies was funny as

and Andrea Martin as Perini Scleroso was hilarious.

[StaggerLee]

7. Yah!

Joe Flaherty is a king and Andrea Martin is incredible!

:hi:

[Hobarticus]

8. Count Floyd! AHHH-WOOOOO!!!!

That was some funny stuff.

[StaggerLee]

16. OmG

My bro and I seldom liked the same things when we were growing up but we both worshipped SCTV. Count Floyd always put us down for the laughing count. (no pun intended?)

:hi:

[AlCzervik]

20. You know Count Flyod was on the jumbtron when i saw Rush

at the Boston Garden. It was the Sub-divisions tour.

[StaggerLee]

22. that's too cool

Did the show rock? I'm guessing yes!

:hi:

[AlCzervik]

25. yup, it was excellent but Sub-divisions was about my least favorite Rush

album, i've seen them twice and both shows were great.

[swag]

3. There are two 5-DVD boxed sets

I own the first and hope to get the second.

When I was a teenager and first saw SCTV on Canadian TV (I grew up in northcentral Montana), they just blew my mind. So superior to anything SNL has ever done. Brilliant comedy.

[StaggerLee]

11. Me too

I grew up here in Michigan and I was a teen when these came out. I am happy to say that they helped me appreciate the fine art of comedy and helped round me out to the fine individual that you see before you today. I am guessing that I can say the same for you!

:hi:

[evlbstrd]

4. The Call of the North!

Hoser!

[StaggerLee]

12. Those guys slay me!

eh?

:hi:

[evlbstrd]

14. Why do American beers have twist-off caps

but Canadian beers don't, eh?
edit for spelling dammit.
twist, not twit.

[meegbear]

5. TVLand is showing SCTV

Friday nites midnite to 2am.

[StaggerLee]

13. See my post above

No cable meeg. But man I am wrestling with the idea of firin' it back up.

:hi:

[Bunny]

10. Edith Prickley here.

[StaggerLee]

15. Ha!

Edith rocks!

:hi:

[Rick Myers]

[StaggerLee]

23. What a great comedian!

I love her!!

:hi:

[VOX]

21. "The Sammy Maudlin Show." With guest Bobby Bittman.

SCTV is **classic**!!!!! :thumbsup:

[terrya]

24. And Lola Heatherton!

:-)

[StaggerLee]

46. Indeed!

Wow I can't believe how much of this stuff I had forgotten.

:hi:

[Missy Vixen]

52. "I love you all!

I want to bear all your children!"

It's Lola Heatherton time!

Julie

[StaggerLee]

54. lol

I can't wait to see more of Lola. I've only watched the first disk of this volume so far and it's hilarious!

I had to wipe tears from my eyes twice this evening I laughed so hard.

:hi:

[StaggerLee]

27. ahhh

such good memories!!

:rofl:

[bullwinkle428]

37. John Candy as William B. Williams,

the toadying sidekick to Sammy Maudlin, was the perfect parody of Ed McMahon, capturing the whole Carson/McMahon dynamic perfectly!

[StaggerLee]

41. Indeed!

My God but John Candy was hilarious in that role.

:rofl:

[bullwinkle428]

39. I also forgot to mention appearances on later editions of

the Maudlin show by Martin Short's octegenarian Jewish songwriter whose roots traced back to Vaudeville, "Irving R. Cohen". "GIVE ME A C...A BOUNCY C!!!" High-freaking-larious! :rofl:

[sallydallas124]

26. YES!

Love it. I used to watch it as a kid with my dad. In the '80s they used to show it on our local PBS station. It was the first show I put on video tape, which I later, argh, taped over as a teenager. A couple years ago they were showing it late night on NBC, I think, and I understood a little more than I had as a kid & was impressed by how smart it was. Love "Mrs Falbo's Tiny Town" among many other sketches.

[StaggerLee]

33. PBS

Yup. That's how we got the bulk of or SCTV diet.

SCTV. Another reason to love Canada. (like we really need any more reasons)

:hi:

[progressoid]

35. Oh God, Mrs. Falbo!

I forgot about her. Priceless.

[Chicago Democrat]

28. My video rental place sucks.

I have to buy it I guess

[peekaloo]

29. Look out! Johnny Pavarotti just arrived and is making a bee line

for the lasagna!

Better than SNL in its hey day.

[StaggerLee]

36. what a great line!

:rofl:

[LiberallyInclined]

30. i BOUGHT volume one- so i get to keep it forever...

i'm waiting for the ones with "The Happy Hour" with happy marsdale to come out- i want to see "six-gun justice"...

[progressoid]

31. The Fishin Musician -

Love those guys!

Dont forget the Schmenge Brothers:

""Hello, I'm Yosh Shmenge."
"And I'm Stan Shmenge."
"And we are the Happy Wanderers!"

And Edith Prickley.
CCCP1.
Dr Tongue.
Tex & Edna Boil.

Geez I miss those shows. I'm going to have to start taping friday nights I guess.

[StaggerLee]

43. wow

I had forgotten about those characters.

:hi:

[TheMightyFavog]

32. I'm Guy Cabalerro, President of SCTV...

Couldn't find a pic of him in his wheelchair, unfortunatley.

[StaggerLee]

34. but he doesn't really need it anyway remember?

I use it to get respect!

:hi:

[Gidney N Cloyd]

38. Loved it EXCEPT

"The Days of the Week" soap opera they leaned on a little too much toward the end of the run.


"NO CRANE SHOTS!!!!"
--g.c.

[StaggerLee]

44. ha ha!

That's how Johnny La Rue went waaaay overbudget. Crane shots!

:hi:

[bullwinkle428]

40. Another great SCTV miniseries:

THE LONG, HARD WAR!

[redqueen]

42. Yeah I miss that show.

Used to watch it as a kid... so much talent.

[StaggerLee]

45. I agree

So much talent in such a small space! Those shows were a real pick-me-up for me as a teenager.

Ahh the sweet memories. I wonder if my fifteen year old nephew would appreciate them if I exposed him to some of it.

:hi:

[Zing Zing Zingbah]

47. SCTV is great! n/t

[Berry Cool]

48. SCTV is the best!!

and actually, TV Land is mixing reruns of the older episodes with the newer ones. The older ones tend to be during the first hour or hour and a half and the last half hour tends to be from one of the newer shows.

For example, last week they ran a half-hour of their Emmy-winning "Moral Majority Show" episode, in which Guy Caballero sells out SCTV to a soap manufacturer just for the advertising bucks, and then has to dance to their tune in terms of program content. Gosh, this doesn't remind us at ALL of real TV, does it?? Nah!

[TK421]

49. I used to love that show

I'm also the proud owner of Bob and Doug MacKenzie's Great White North album..hold on...I'm getting some jelly doughnuts and some back bacon

[StaggerLee]

58. What a great duo!

I already saw one instance in the first disk of this volume where you can tell they just want to crack up in front of the camera. What discipline!

:hi:

[TK421]

50. TAKE OFF YOU HOSER

[sasquatch]

55. COOOOO, coo, coo, coo , coo, coo, coo!!

:beer:

[BlackVelvetElvis]

51. My favorite show of all time.

I loved Andrea's Libby Wolfson character (the play episode if on Vol. 3).
There are volumes 1-3. I hear the next series to be released will be the 30 minute eps. with Ramis.
My favorite bit from Vol. 1 has to be "Cooking with Edith Prickley" and the Tex and Edna Boil's Organ Emporium.

[StaggerLee]

53. thanks for the info

I've just watched the first disk of volume one and I should get to the other two disks by this weekend.

Looking forward to those two skit 'cause they weren't on the first disk.


:hi:

[BlackVelvetElvis]

56. Volume 3 has a bit missing- they couldn't get the rights to

"Stairway to Heaven". I hate that, that always cracked me up.
It's a K-tel record of your favorite stars singing versions of it.
Catherine O'Hara does a wicked impersonation of Rickie Lee Jones.

[StaggerLee]

57. Geeze

That's damn unfortunate. I would've loved to have seen that. Catherine OHara blows me away. Heck they all do.

If I didn't have to work tomorrow I'd stay up to watch the rest of the volume.

:)
