SCTV is on the air! - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

Until the end of March, NBC is showing the classic comedy series SCTV after Conan O'Brien at 1:35 a.m, Monday-Thursday. If you haven't seen this show, you need to put a tape in the VCR tonight. Put a tape in the VCR and watch it tommorrow. You won't regret it, "I must say", to quote the great Martin Short.

One of the great things about SCTV is how even though many of it's celebrity references are dated now, they're still funny. It's still funny to see the late John Candy as Merlin Olson punch out an ultra-annoying Jamie Farr, played by Martin Short.

That's another thing about SCTV. The show had one of the most talented casts ever on TV. You had Candy, Short, Joe Flaherty, Eugene Levy, Andrea Martin, Catherine O'Hara, Rick Moranis, and Dave Thomas all on one show. They were also the show's main writers.

I can't believe there aren't any other SCTV fans here.

OH MY GAWD!!! Are you sure this an action by NBC, and not just your local NBC Affiliate? I'm gonna stay up late tonight just to see, even though I haven't watched Connan since Andy Richter left... it just seems like an empty show, ya know?

Wasn't SCTV an hour program and NBC cut it down to a half hour ?

I fell in love with Catherine O'Hara watching the 1970s episodes.

It's basically sketch comedy, mostly about TV. You can find it all over YouTube.
