Those original SCTV shows were syndicated in the US. One of our stations in
Portland, OR carried them. I loved the show (and Dave Thomas as the Beaver).
I remember the first time I saw it... all those TV's flying out the
windows.. I could identify. *I was truly ROTFL.

An outstanding comedy show! Great writing and fantastic character
acting by a top notch all Canadian cast. My favorites were Rick
Moranis playing Dick Cavett, Eugene Levy as Sid Dithers, Dave Thomas
doing William F. Buckley and John Candy in everything.

Saturday Night Live wasn't even close to this classic. Canada hit a
home run with SCTV!.

Or maybe it was Joe Flaherty who did William F. Buckley. Eugene Levy
as Henry Kissinger and Floyd the Barber. Rick Moranis doing Merv
Griffin and Woody Allen. Cathrine O'Hara as Lola Hetherton. Martin
Short doing Jerry Lewis and David Steinberg. Dave Thomas doing Bob
Hope. All hilarious. What a body of work!

I liked Jerry Todd, the VJ who ran his own board.
