  1. Interesting that in the early days they kind of took a page out of Monty Python's Flying Circus, in that themes could continue between otherwise unrelated sketches. (Dan Money and Earl Camembert having to bribe people for information in separate sketches.)

  2. It wasn't until decades later that I heard some of the radio series "Dan Money" was making fun of: "Yours Truly, Johnny Dollar". Johnny Dollar was an insurance investigator whose stories were recapped as entries in his expense reports. It in turn aired decades before "Second City Television", but clearly they knew about it, possibly being familiar with it from the childhood of some of the writers.
