About The Museum of Classic Chicago Television:
The MCCTv (FuzzyMemoriesTV) is a 501(c)(3) non-profit whose primary mission is the preservation and display of off-air, early home videotape recordings (70s to early 80s, mostly) recorded off of TV (in Chicago or other cities now too); things which would likely be lost if not sought out and preserved digitally. If you have any old 1970s videotapes recorded off of TV please email: tapes@fuzzy.tv Even though (mostly) short clips are displayed here, we preserve the entire broadcasts in our archives – the complete programs with breaks (or however much is present on the tape), for historical preservation. For information on how to help in our mission, to donate or lend tapes to be converted to DVD, please e-mail tapes@fuzzy.tv Thank you for your help!

Chuck Barris America's favorite CIA assassin.
"Second City Television" was produced in Canada. This early episode was made at the Global TV studios, on Barber Green Road, in Don Mills, a suburb northeast of Toronto, Ontario, Canada.
The cast were exhausted, because they spent their days writing, rehearsing, and taping the TV series, then rushing downtown to perform at the Second City (at 110 Lombard St.) until midnight. Then, they'd be back at Global the next morning.
Subsequent series of "SCTV" were produced at the WIC TV studios in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada; then at Magder (now Showline) Studios in the Scarborough suburb of Toronto.
Milton DeLug nails the opening!
Also...I need more Chuck Barris sunny attitude in my day!
