RIP Joe Flaherty. You continue to bring heartfelt laughter.

The Leave it to Beaver sketch is one of the best that SCTV ever made.

[@antrygis1]

I know Harold Ramis was not on SCTV that long but I got to meet him. Sort of. He went on to Stripes and Ghostbusters, etc. Behind the scenes. But I had this bizarre relationship with a woman and her two adopted kids and they went to the #1 privileged school in Winnetka Illinois. Oh, so spoiled. They had 3-4 Xmas specials etc. On some night, there was the prez of Motorola, too busy in the hallway to see his kids show, etc. I sat down as they were going thru grade 1...when I sat and looked over, (There were 5 or 6 seats in between) I saw Harold. It was between shows and I felt like saying, "Hey, Harold, loved you in striped and SCTV!" but I just nodded and gave him the thumbs up and tilted my head towards the stage waiting for the next grades shop to come on until my Jessica's grades show came up. It was a moment. I mean, there was this guy who was so cool for being in SCTV etc. but he was just a dad there for his kids show, just like me. I met a few more celebs impromptu, but him and Richard Dent the Chicago Bears linebacker who got the MVP in that 1986 Superbowl, (Yes, the last one they one) were my favorites. Two guys who made it big who I was glad to see jut being two normal Joes.

[@witzelasper2821]

"Let me get a clear shot at him"..... hilarious

[@anthonyarguien7785]

Library Police was off the wall. Exorcising With Linda Blair was a scream. Earl's son was a hoot. The chicken filler was ahead of its time. The Leave It To Beaver spoof is classic comedy. The 2 ditzy housewives was golden. Kids On Booze was hilarious. That Bruce Lee spoof was the epitome of SCTV. An early appearance by Dr. Tongue. Family Detective was lame. Dialing For Dollars was amusing. In short, this was the Best Episode of Season 1.

[@anthonyarguien7785]

That EXORCIST spoof was LMFAO!

[@will27ns]

They were very funny. This wasn't their best.

[@wmbrown6]

I have to wonder if this particular SCTV News sketch was a little dig at the pairing of Bill Burns with his daughter, Patti Burns, on the noon news at KDKA-TV in Pittsburgh. They made plenty of headlines when she first joined him at the midday anchor desk in 1976 (after his prior co-anchor in that time slot, Marie Torre, left KDKA to do TV work in New York), and some wags branded them (not too kindly) as "Patti and Daddy," but the pairing ultimately made them institutions in Pittsburgh (and, eventually, she became a TV news legend in her own right and on her own merits, lasting eight more years at "KD" after her "old man" retired). No "budding media journalist" she, Ms. Burns had the same exacting journalistic standards as her dad who'd been a constant presence on Pittsburgh TV since 1953 (no doubt Joe Flaherty would've been familiar with him).

Eh, it's a parody of board game commercials.

[@ihavefallenandicantreachmy2113]

"Dollar Bill" and "Magnifying Glass" are not included, apparently. $15.95, in 1977, for Two used Mugs and a Cardboard Box. I "Detect" a Bargain.

[@deborahblackvideoediting8697]

There's nothing to the game. So many board game tv ads would make games look ultra exciting...then you'd buy it and play it, and some were really boring. So basically, for $15.95 (way more expensive than games were back in the 70s), you get a box containing only a dollar bill and a super-cheap toy magnifying glass. I love what ihavefallen said about the money and magnifying glass not being included! 😂
