I love 5 Neat Guys!
In my senior year in highschool, on Friday night, we had to wait up…. literally… until 12:30 at night…to find out if sctv was on. It was not announced on the tv guide, and sometimes they would show the midnight special, but other times it was sctv. NBC never let us know ahead of time and literally it was like every other week or every third week that we could watch sctv…. that's how much we loved it and thats how important it was. It was a FAR BETTER television show than SNL….not even close. We grew up in Pennsylvania and sctv to us was like the most important thing on tv.
The “Best View In Town” indeed!
Now we know where "Hellooo!" came from, way before Chandler Bing. Bobby, baby, yer the best!
32:22 Can't help but think that Mike Myers was probably watching "Pre-Teen World" and got the idea for his Wayne Campbell character, complete with the vocal inflections.
After reading comments…I was 10 in 1969 and found Monty Python's flying circus ….
Living North of Detroit. CBC Ch. 9. Where the world turned sideways .. my buddies couldn't believe what we found !!
Ch.9 made me a curling fan !!!!
Another thing CBC does NOT air anymore.
WTH is happening to Canada ??????
It's hard to differentiate from the actual show and some of those old channel 9 promos
Did anyone else scan through this quickly and for a second think that it was John Candy and Rick Moranis at 18:05 ?
The Band feels like its part of the comedy instead of a real band…
"So if you're obsessed with feminine gentleness that only a feminine woman can know what I'm talking about right now …"
A feminine woman?!
That wouldn't fly in 2023 where they can't even define what a woman is, anymore. I'm glad that SCTV got this message out before trudeau got involved with it and had them all imprisoned for stating facts contrary to his little rainbow-farting unicorn world. =)
Legends❤
Rona Barrett impression was impressive.
Carole Pope self censored that song.
The placement of the commercial for Halfwi… I mean, Reach for the Top, during SCTV, was perfect!
The real commercials could double as sketches for the show! I never knew the car was pronounced “Toyota Ce-LEE-ka” though, lol!
TV was so good, yet bizarre and authentic back in those days, of course, it wasn't as good as the 90s era, but still very fun to watch, way superior to the sh1t that tv has become nowadays
The actual CBC commercial showing the Racquetball could easily have been introduced by Guy Cabellero! The commercials were a nice add! ThankS!
Remember when there was something worth seeing on CBC TV? Long LONG ago.
at about 9:38 in, there's an ad for the canadian network broadcasting the SCTV prrogram. for quite a while, i thought it was really a faux ad from "SCTV" (and not a legitimate ad promoting a canadian tv network).
OMG, the actual Canadian commercials are almost as good as the show itself!
