Second City Television, commonly shortened to SCTV and later known as SCTV Network and SCTV Channel, is a Canadian television sketch comedy show that ran between 1976 and 1984. It was created as an offshoot from Toronto’s Second City troupe. It is an example of a Canadian show that moved successfully to American TV.

The original SCTV cast consisted of John Candy, Joe Flaherty, Eugene Levy, Andrea Martin, Catherine O’Hara, Harold Ramis, and Dave Thomas. All also served as writers on the show, although Martin and O’Hara did not receive writing credits on the first four episodes. Ramis served as SCTV’s original head writer, but only appeared on-screen as a regular during the first season (spread out over two years).

The show was off the air for the 1979–80 season, but returned to production after Andrew Alexander and Charles Allard, owner of the independent station CITV in Edmonton, Alberta, struck a deal to produce SCTV at CITV’s facilities.

Candy, O’Hara, and Ramis dropped out at this juncture, and Dave Thomas was promoted to head writer. Added to the cast (and writing room) were Tony Rosato, Robin Duke, and Rick Moranis. Moranis, a friend of Dave Thomas primarily known as a radio personality in Canada, was the only cast member not to have come from the ranks of Second City. John Blanchard became the series director at this point.

This season of the show was seen in Canada on the CBC, and in scattered markets in the U.S. in syndication.
