There seems to be more interest in SCTV on the net than I had thought.
SCTV was at its best during its very first season, when it ran half an
hour a week on Global Television here in Ontario.  It's never completely
re-captured that same freshness, though they have done some remarkably
funny things during the course of the series.
Don't misunderstand; I *like* SCTV, and hope it thrives; it's just that
I know how much better it could be if they didn't have to crank out
material for the show at the enormous rate they do.  Anyone who's seen
the Toronto or Chicago stage shows of Second City will know what I mean;
putting together a show every six months or whatever means that the entire
show is *good*, and well worth watching.  I can't always say the same for
SCTV.
