      Edmonton is my hometown. No offence but why did they start here, maybe it was a tryout, to see how it would go. Then they headed to Toronto. But really the best sketches were probably first two seasons. Maybe Edmonton first season. Toronto liked. They headed there. But proud it started here. Well original started in Chicago. But this a Canadian version. Canadian s excellent at parody. Great take off on smaltchy kiss ass talk show s. Maybe we see outside what America didn’t see. No offence

I consider them to be one of the great comedy teams of the last 50 years, their individual talents are formidable but put them together, hilarity will ensue, guaranteed. Two amazingly funny and talented actors/comedians that have demonstrated a wonderful friendship all the while. Role models for any aspiring artists!

      ​@@Jim_Lthey're ALL fantastic in their own right! I remember watching SCTV after SNL was over in my best friends' room on their little portable TV set. And to make it even better, The Carol Burnett Show came on at 10 pm, to start the great Saturday night line up! I could be wrong on the timeline, but the way I remember it, all three of these shows came on on Saturday nights. And PBS played Monty Python reruns too, not sure if it was Saturdays or not... but if TV networks still broadcast shows that we're half as good, I might still tune in!

      @@klmullins65 I don't remember The Carol Burnett Show in the early '80s. I loved that show, but it would have been circa 1975 to 1978 for me. I checked Wiki, and sure enough, the show ended after 11 seasons in 1978. I'm guessing you were probably catching reruns, if you were watching in the '80s.
      Correct me if I'm wrong, but I think the SCTV we've all come to know was picked up by NBC in 1981. If you were catching the show earlier, back in the mid-'70s, then you are one lucky dawg. I never saw those.
      I do remember those first few seasons of SNL, which first aired in 1975. I don't know about you, but I've caught clips of some of those shows on TH-cam now that I'm an adult, and they are painfully unfunny, for the most part. A few laughs here and there, but yeah, humor that hasn't aged well at all.

      @@Jim_L this would’ve been in the late 1970s. SCTV was played at 1 am after SNL went off. It was probably syndicated at the time, and the air time was up to the local station to decide.
      The old SNLs usually depended on who was hosting that week …Steve Martin, Buck Henry, and any of the Monty Pythons members were always hilarious. I think the late 80s-early 90s was the best SNL era (Phil Hartman, Jan Hooks, John Lovitz, Victoria Jackson, etc)
