Product Information
An edgier version of SATURDAY NIGHT LIVE, the Canadian sketch comedy series SCTV premiered in 1977 and ran for three seasons in a half-hour format before being picked up by NBC and expanded to 90 minutes in 1981. Unusual for a sketch comedy series, SCTV's skits were tied together by the framing device of a fictional television network populated by feuding newscasters, dishonest talk show hosts, failed cabaret singers, fishing musicians, and other eccentric show biz types. In between were sketches of biting contemporary satire delivered by an inspired cast of future stars: Joe Flaherty, Eugene Levy, Andrea Martin, Rick Moranis, Catherine O'Hara, Dave Thomas, and the late-great John Candy. This collection includes the first disc of SCTV - VOLUME ONE for a total of two 90-minute episodes: "One on the Town," which features the skits "Leave it to Beaver 25th Anniversary," "Masterpiece Theatre: All the Long-Leggedy Beasties," and "Play It Again Bob;" as well as "Polynesiantown," featuring the 5 Neat Guys and "The Sammy Maudlin Show."Product Identifiers
