Elsewhere in the episode, John Candy shows up as a hippie with a
walkman and a weird accent. "Hey, are you guys 'up'? I sure am. I'm
listening to The Quicksilver Messenger Service right now!"
thanks for the heads-up; i haven't gotten that far in my DVD set yet...

Does he get blown up?
This would make a GREAT Christmas or Birthday Present for my older brother
who remembers the series quite well.
SCTV was some of the best television comedy ever produced. Proof is the long
line of top notch comics who went on to bigger if not better things: Andrea
Martin (simply brilliant), John Candy, Eugene Levy, Rick Moranis, Dave
Thomas and, of course, Martin Short. Funny, funny stuff.
My favorite was always the "Halfwits" bit. I hurt myself laughing the first
time I saw it

I had many favorites but probably the single fav is Andrea Martin playing a
on-the-spot reporter with a jungle scene in the background and the associate
noises and she's talking it up about something going on in the African
jungle when a 9-10 year old boy rides across the set in the background.
Still cracks me up thinking about it.
>The Tubes are the musical guests in Episode 8 of the season 1 DVDs of
>"SCTV Network 90". They appear in a skit called "The Fishing
>Musician",
The very next episode of Fishin' Musician was supposed to have Rush as
their guest. Unfortunately, the show got canceled before the new
season started. Count Floyd did the intro to "The Weapon" for Rush
live.
One of my favorite things on the show was when the Canadian Gov't got
on their case because there wasn't enough "distinctly Canadian"
content. They responded with Great White North.

I'm glad someone else noticed that! I kept meaning to post about Vince
& The Tubes on SCTV, but some how kept forgetting. The SCTV set has
made my year!

Supposedly, those will be coming eventually. The second cycle of the
first NBC season is next up, in late September. I've read they plan to
release everything. Of course, a lot of sketches from the syndicated
seasons were re-used for the 90 minute NBC shows.
