Their stage show is extremely good; I only wish I could say the same for SCTV. I can sympathize with them, though; churning out an hour and a half of comedy every week for a few seasons is difficult to do, and losing Moranis and Thomas was a bit of a blow. For those who like revue-type comedy, there's another group here in Southern Ontario called the "Acme Harpoon Company". They do stuff much like what you'd see in Second City's stage show, plus some genuinely good improvisational comedy (lots better than Second City's). There's also a group called Theatresports, which is entirely improvisational and which performs regularly in Waterloo, Toronto, Hamilton, Calgary, Vancouver, Seattle and probably elsewhere. --Bernie Roehl ...decvax!watmath!watarts!bernie
