[@robertcombs55]

STILL better than ANYTHING on TV today!!

God these guys were brilliant. Best Comedy skit show of all time. I remember staying up late on Sat nights when I was 10, 11, 12 years old.

[@iscariot666]

Exactly. I was that age as well, and at the time the show seemed magical!

[@briantjepkema7758]

@@iscariot666 Me too. We used to watch them over and over again because we had the shows on VHS. I still remember most of it word for word 40 years later. Comedy gold? Comedy platinum!

The Sergeant Peppers of sketch comedy… complete masterpiece… BRILLIANT.

[@fredhurst2528]

Now I remember why I always thought most network sit-coms sucked, because I grew up with this.

[@drgustaf2450]

Yes. I watched an episode of Family Ties on a flight a little while ago and couldn’t believe how poorly it’s aged. The SCTV stuff, by contrast, has only become better with time ! Eugene Levy playing Henry Kissinger 💯

[@Seidelus]

SCTV is still so great! I miss John Candy!

[@Logan-py8we]

Pure genius...!!!!!

[@stvitalkid7981]

Only thing missing: any promos for The Days of the Week. Brilliant nonetheless!

[@eric7922]

Rocco and Mojo were the best...didn’t see “Battle of the PBS Stars” either... a classic.

[@fridaythe13thpartx]

What made SCTV unique was they didn’t have producers breathing down their necks telling them what they could and couldn’t do.There were no network exec. talentless egos in the way.Shooting up in Edmonton,Alberta had its advantages in that they could let their talent run wild and do whatever their imaginations let them,no matter how insane or outlandish it seemed.They were so far out of touch or put upon by what was currently hip or considered mainstream cool they in effect created their own brand of cool and hip.Talented artists that were allowed to create on their own terms resulted in something quite brilliant that has stood the test of time.

[@ErikPortland]

Edmonton?

[@mr.pavone9719]

What also helped was how they played every part and performed every sketch like it was serious.

[@199gonzo]

Pure genius...

Too many great comedians coming at me from all directions. Gotta hit the pause button periodically to save myself from laughter convulsions!

Martin Scorsese directed 'An Afternoon With SCTV' in 2018 at the Elgin Theatre in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. Jimmy Kimmel was the host. The release date is yet to be determined.

Beauty and the Beets was one of my mom's favorite sketches!

[@finch45lear]

Nothing has made me laugh as hard as SCTV.

[@BluePedal]

25:19 - The Midnight Express Special! John Denver singing Rocky Mountain High from the dank depths of the Turkish Prison. Anne Murray singing Snowbird as she endlessly circles the walking pillar. Pure 100% Grade A comedy right there.

[@juliansmith9503]

SCTV was more funner than Saturday night live on NBC

[@KyleRuggles]

The thing is, they both came from the same mind :) Lorne Michaels, Canadian :)

[@joecomer8275]

+Kyle Ruggles Although Lorne Michaels was Canadian, he had nothing to do with SCTV. He did, however, produce another iconic sketch show-"The Kids in the Hall"-for HBO.

[@Danimal77]

More funner? Really? Dude, that's HORRIBLE English. Something isn't more funner. The word funner already implies that it is MORE fun.

Nothing like SCTV or many other old TV shows could ever be made again because real humor and laughter has been silenced! 😢 So Thanks for archiving these episodes and uploading them to KZbin to show people what our censored but FUNNY and not Politically Correct TV looked like and what real laughter feels like!

[@marcd7543]

I don't know why people keep comparing SNL and SCTV... these shows are apples and oranges... One is LIVE.. and "constructed"in a week that difference allows for SCTV to be far more satirical and cerebral. When they are recreating a old TV show or movie etc...the attention to detail is incredible. Most all of it filled with very obscure references... SNL goes for the easy laugh generally.....broad strokes ..almost by necessity They wouldn't have time to ever do what SCTV did. If they were created similarly ....the SNL.casts would have been able to explore those themes. Just watch the old Belushi dancing on the graves segment.

[@tuskedbeast]

It's weird how there's this craze of comparing the two shows on KZbin comments now. Tedious too.

[@alcoholya]

the 'madtv is so much better than snl' comment is so annoying as well. Just enjoy the comedy you geniuses of criticism.

[@jesshay1180]

Nobody would be comparing if SNL hadn’t been so awful for so long, perpetrated by its own “necessity”

[@Dr.Quarex]

Unpopular opinion: some of these are not funny at all, BUT it is purely because they did such a great job nailing the inanity of television movies and specials that they could easily be mistaken for normal early-1980s programming. I definitely laughed out loud at "Magnum P.E.I." and other scenes, and have fond memories of watching SCTV reruns on... A&E? with my parents as a young kid.

[@user-xq5vx7rs4w]

When the show is indicated it was very funny. And inventive. And they did lift some of their material. And it’s later years it turned out to be something like what you’re saying here. That’s why John Candy left. The show ended up with poor ratings and getting canceled. Think about that. When they started to develop these characters and have this long segments with the same characters that were sort of cynical versions of pop-culture singers and performers that you would see on talk shows the show took a nose dive.
