SCTV was probably one of the best comedy TV shows ever. They nailed satire, had solid characters, from a very talented cast, well written and most of all, extremely funny.
Yes, it's a classic parody and compelling in its own right because the SCTV cast are such great actors on top of being first class comics. The funny thing is, surreal as it gets, so much actual daytime drama is even more insanely weird but played straight without satire, and it enhances the sheer fun madness...
Used to watch SCTV on NBC as a teen but never remembered this part. As a late 1970s80s soap opera viewer, this has it all, the amnesia, wedding chaos, evil imposter. I'd watch a whole season of this today.
The sheer amount of talent that came out of SCTV is unbelievable. John Candy, Andrea Martin, Catherine O'Hara, Eugene Levy, Martin Short etc. And almost all of them still in the business. Schitt's Creek, Only Murders in the Building...two massive hit shows.
Back when SCTV was new, I missed the wedding episode. I didn't see it in the summer reruns either. 40 years later, I finally got to see the episode here--and Bill Murray was in it! That was a nice surprise after all this time. Thanks for posting this!
Your comment is the highlight of my day. I had never heard of this before and bam, here I am. 40 years to wait for the wedding episode. you are awesome. lol
i was searching for the clip of the unforgettable lines from catherine ohara: 'all they want is sex and that's all i give them'. Then i found the whole series condensed in this youtube video. Second City TV is Timeless comedy
I know you're referring to the "Violet McKay" character, but the way she annunciates the word 'fiancé" as "Sue Ellen" @19:08 is hilarious-very Joan Cusak.
Everybody was on-track playing melodrama for a soap, except Andrea Martin was playing for a laugh-track on a kids' show. Really dropped the penny on that one.
Okay, I'm six minutes in and I'm totally involved with this story. Everyone in SCTV is so talented and they all have great range. I used to watch soaps in the 1970s becaise the ladies lounge in the office building had a TV. Women would come spend their lunch hour either napping or watching the soaps and then go back to their office. This is just like those terribly serious stories. They were addictive. Thanks for posting!
I grew up in the 80's in Britain and so annoyed that no British Channel broadcast SCTV back in the day. Thank you uploader for taking the time to put this together. Man Canada was brimming with amazing comedy talent back then
Same here - some of the crap we got instead. I would've loved this cos it had people I loved to see in the films of the day - like John Candy, Rick Moranis, Catherine O'Hara. I feel like the internet was invented to let us play catch up in Britain how to join the dots with how all those people go into the movies.
They perfexted all of the lowered gazes, the pregnant pauses...the kind of timing that was needed to build "'suspense" 🤣 The characters' names - perfect.
Now THIS is MY era of tv and I'll always treasure these sketches and my memories of the laughter this show brought me. This was possibly the best and most complete parody of soap opera cliches and stereotypes of all time. It just distilled all the elements in one hilarious skit. Brilliant.
@@whateverheather655 You're 50 and asking if SCTV was shown on HBO or Showtime? Anyway, if it aired in your town or city you'd have found it late night on a local station, not CBS, NBC, or ABC.
@user-ug4jp8lp4q like I said I do not remember this being on TV. Yes we had HBO in the early 80s and showtime in the 80s. I came from a very very strict home so that's probably another reaon I don't remember this show
Clay Collins is at the top of that list of music genius’ who left us way too young ( Hendrix,Cobain, Duane Allman etc)and leaves us music lovers to ponder what could of been. If Buddy Holly’s death was the day the music died,well Clay’s death was surely the day music fans stopped being turned on to the music. I cry whenever I think about how many pretty girls will never get turned on by his music in the future
Clay''s unreleased work is finally going to see the light of day in a double album. I think it's going to be called his "Wide" album because the records are both being released in that format that didn't last too long, ie on oblong discs that are almost twice as wide on one axis than the other. One of Clay's never-finished songs---I AM GLASS WALRUS NUMBER 9---was just completed by the Queen Haters. At least we'll all have this to help quell the tears of our' unending sorrow at his loss.
@@RSEFX If you believe in forever,then Clay’s life was just a one night stand. If there’s a rock & roll heaven,with Clay they’ll have a helluva of a band
The over the top “acting”, dramatic pauses, constant drinking and 70/80s musical sound track are so spot on, it’s funny how a 40 year old soap opera parody I watched the first time around has sucked me in again all these years later 🤣🤣🤣
John Candy is fantastic in the second season as he gets more hysterical and Eugene Levy is so spot on as the upright guy. I just wish I knew what happened to Clay Collins and Sue Ellen!
Clay Collins played by Rick Moranis from Ghost Busters and Honey I shrunk the Kids. He died at the Alter.

Fewer people know, however, that there have been tons of SCTV semi-reunions over the years, with John Candy, Eugene Levy, Rick Moranis, Joe Flaherty, Andrew Martin, Martin Short & Catherine O'Hara getting together in various formations and doing classic SCTV characters and/or their spiritual successors. Most of the shows below can be found on TH-cam and do not disappoint: 1983 *Bob & Doug McKenzie:* Strange Brew (DT/RM) 1984 The New Show (DT w/JC, CO'H) 1985 *Schmenge Brothers:* The Last Polka (JC/EL w/RM, CO'H, DT) 1985 Comedy Week (eps. w/EL, JF, RM, DT, CO'H) 1985 Concert for the North Americas (MS w/JC, JF, EL, AM, DT) 1987 Really Weird Tales (JF w/JC, MS, CO'H) 1988 Biographies: The Enigma of *Bobby Bittman* (EL) 1988 Completely Mental Misadv's of *Ed Grimley* (MS w/AM, CO'H, JF) 1989 I, Martin Short, Goes Hollywood (MS w/CO'H, EL, JF, DT) 1989 Andrea Martin...Together Again (AM w/DT, CO'H, MS) 1990 The Dave Thomas Show (DT w/JC, MS, CO'H) 1994, 1995, 1999 The Martin Short Shows (MS w/AM, EL, JF) 2001-2005 Primetime Glick (MS w/CO'H, AM, EL, JF, AM) 2007 Bob & Doug McKenzie's Two-Four Anniversary (DT/RM) 2012 I, Martin Short, Goes Home (MS w/JF, EL, AM)
To me SNL has always been hit and miss when it comes to skits and even cast members but SCTV was gold every time. Funniest show and best cast. And their still killing it today. Anyone who watches the brilliant Catherine O'Hara and Eugene Levy on Schitt's Creek can attest to that.
@@georgesabol459 - Yes! 100%. This is because SCTV and MADTV were all about the comedy, poking fun at all sides equally. SNL is continually hell bent on lecturing me about politics. I haven't watched it in about as long.
I love the little moments -- like when at 31:10 Eugene Levy, playing the doctor, dials a whole lot of numbers on his rotary phone just to get to the secretary, so he can ask her to...dial a number. Ha!
He was amazing, even when he took on a serious role in that movie with Ally Sheedy and the serious, as well as the funny parts of Planes, Trains, and Automobiles!
I recall watching this when it first aired that when Bill Murray's character was shown Simon and Garfunkel doing "Mrs. Robinson" was playing. Guess they couldn't get rights to have that here! Love this show! Incredibly talented folks, everyone of them!
I haven't seen Billy since he was no bigger than..."this cup?" and Mojo taking the oath... "high ho?" Love Mojo. And even Rocco understood that "high ho" was funny. This kind of satirical parody is sadly, almost non existent nowadays. Thank you SCTV! (and many thanks to whoever posted this)
Eugene Levy and Catherine O Hara Pre Schitts Creek! Love this what a gem. Bill Murray,Rick Moranis, Martin Short and John Candy too. Loved Levy and Candy especially in Splash😄This is just too fun 🤩 thx for uploading!❤
Reminds me of a "Golden Girls" bit, where Blanche was reading a serial comic strip I forget the name of. Dorothy said she hadn't read that strip since the early '60s, or some such long ago decade. "Well, you haven't missed much, Dorothy; let's see....it's later that same afternoon......."

I am just beyond delighted to find that the entire series is on TH-cam! This and “As the Stomach Turns” on the Carol Burnett Show were always my go-to as a kid when I needed a laugh. Thank you for sharing 👏
Andrea Martin is the funniest woman ever . That bit where she's attempting suicide dangling from the rope whilst holding a conversation with Dave Thomas like it was the most natural thing on earth is absolutely hilarious.
Both Martin and Catherine O’Hara are comic icons, and they didn’t even get paid for their writing contributions for the entire first season, because they were women, even though they wrote their own characters and sketches. And all of the guys didn’t stand up for them, they just took their extra pay as though it was the most natural thing in the world.
When you think about the money they made - even me even the guys at the time kind of ridiculous - def not 100000 an episode or 10,000 I bet , hope they get something from you tube
Omg, I just came across this tonight. I LOVED Second City TV...John Candy, Catherine O'Hara, Eugene Levy & the rest of the gang were the best, absolutely HILARIOUS. Watched it everytime it was on. Can't find comedy like this anymore.
Your comment took me back to when my Mom used to be glued to the television for Another World! Lol! So funny. It was a short period of my childhood. Many of my Mothers obsessions only lasted a short time but obsessed she would become just the same. Like the time she had over 40 finches residing in decked out cages all over our house. Lol. Good times.
I watched this show religiously back in the 80"s. I never realized there was an actual plot to these shorts. As well, Rocco goes into a phone booth with the old AGT logo, lol
I think that logo was for Edmonton Telephones which was the city-owned telephone service back then. Thunder Bay also had a municipal telephone company at one time-at least into the 1980’s.
Yeah, smoke some reefer after work and wait with eager anticipation. My favorite show was with Joe Walsh and the Fishin' Musician. They went Snipe hunting and left Gill in the bushes lost and crying, lol!

Yup! And the drama in Days of the Week shows the quality in the actors and how much range and dedication they had.
And . . . we must not overlook THE DIRECTOR and the SCREEN WRITERS. Without them . . . nothing happens.
@@rockyhill9965 Absolutely !
Most excellent, I must say 😎
What years was this shown? It's so funny, but I don't remember it!
"Do you love your son more than me?"
"Well he is my son."
"Am I your son?"
Pure gold.
"Sometimes I forget who I am."
"Well, you shouldn't. You're my maid."
My favourite is the guy who walks in with the violin case. "Which side are you, the bride or the groom?" "I'm the violinist." x
That part had me in tears
Don't you have something to clean?
My fave so far; about chemical warfare: "It's no more dangerous than sticking a baby's head through a buzz saw."

So good!!!
Wait, it's a parody..?
🤯
If something it truly funny, it doesn't need a laugh track.
This was actually captivating. Since they are all comics, one is constantly expecting a one-liner or a zinger, but the story actually seems to work.
Absolute Masterpiece! I watched it when it first aired, it was riveting. Now, in 2023, it's still a masterpiece.
Agreed!!!

30 mins in and so invested in this wonderful tale. Hope it all works out for Clay. 🤞🤞🤞
"you telling me I've only got two weeks to live?". "Well, give or take a couple of days".
I remember these from the 80s! I had a big-time crush on Catherine O'Hara - we're the same age to boot!

Me too🤔🧐😂😂😂🤓
As well as the dramatic music & closeups.
I wonder what they could have done with the truly batshit insane plots that came in the decades since.
We’re so proud of SCTV ❤️🇨🇦
The background music, audio and tones of voice used by the cast makes The Days of the Week an auditory carnival for the ears. Perfect soap opera satire.
Only Andrea Martin could make someone trying to hang themselves funny!!
She had me rolling on the floor trying to be the perfect hostess with a noose around her neck.
"Hope I haven't come at a bad time. "
This is pretty much every soap opera!

I am just beyond delighted to find that the entire series is on TH-cam! This and “As the Stomach Turns” on the Carol Burnett Show were always my go-to as a kid when I needed a laugh. Thank you for sharing 👏
And she has that extremely understated cameo in the courtroom near the very end.

Andrea Martin is such talented comedic actress.
Agreed - the concept of timing and subtlety are a lost art today.
And so cute! As was Catherine O'Hara! What a great cast and show they were!!
No she isn’t. And this is a soap opera not a comedy. Sorry to shatter your precious illusions. Refill?
@@juliusward5291 Are you…stupid?
Andrea Martin is the funniest woman ever . That bit where she's attempting suicide dangling from the rope whilst holding a conversation with Dave Thomas like it was the most natural thing on earth is absolutely hilarious.
Both Martin and Catherine O’Hara are comic icons, and they didn’t even get paid for their writing contributions for the entire first season, because they were women, even though they wrote their own characters and sketches. And all of the guys didn’t stand up for them, they just took their extra pay as though it was the most natural thing in the world.
When you think about the money they made - even me even the guys at the time kind of ridiculous - def not 100000 an episode or 10,000 I bet , hope they get something from you tube
Omg, I just came across this tonight. I LOVED Second City TV...John Candy, Catherine O'Hara, Eugene Levy & the rest of the gang were the best, absolutely HILARIOUS. Watched it everytime it was on. Can't find comedy like this anymore.
perfect spoof of soap operas back when there were like 20 differnt ones that they took themselves SOOOO SERIOUSLY
EXTREMELY seriously lol.
Your comment took me back to when my Mom used to be glued to the television for Another World! Lol! So funny. It was a short period of my childhood. Many of my Mothers obsessions only lasted a short time but obsessed she would become just the same. Like the time she had over 40 finches residing in decked out cages all over our house. Lol. Good times.
"How do I know what's in it? It's sandwich stuff... I made it."
Oh my God, the number of star comedians in this is crazy! Rick Moranis, then Eugene Levy and John Candy, and then Catharine O'Hara?! Very cool.
I loved the Carol Burnett cameo!
Well...it's SCTV. That's the cast of that show lol
Oh, honey, you must be so young! SCTV was a seminal humor show
I actually find watching this in ten minute shots relaxing and funny
Agreed. Relaxing & a bit of silly does the soul good....but poor Clay Collins. His plight puts the edge into the mix, sadly.
🚬😎
Strangely true!
I watched this show religiously back in the 80"s. I never realized there was an actual plot to these shorts. As well, Rocco goes into a phone booth with the old AGT logo, lol
Trevor Provencher w/rotary dial!
I think that logo was for Edmonton Telephones which was the city-owned telephone service back then. Thunder Bay also had a municipal telephone company at one time-at least into the 1980’s.
I’ve missed this brilliant show for sooo long. Thank you !
“You’ve been no help whatsoever. Now get the hell out.”
I've purposely used this line. It's genius.
I want that carved on my tombstone!
The best parody of General Hospital/Days Of Our Lives ever made
"Hi-Ho". Haha! Everytime I hear that I burst out laughing out loud. Even when I'm by myself in public.
I'm just now realizing how many episodes of SCTV I've missed.
Bourbon and tomato juice - STRAIGHT UP! LOL
You go ahead and order that yourself! LMAO 😆
This is something I've wanted to do, but you did it. So, thank you! SCTV was Friday night, back in the 80's!
Yeah, smoke some reefer after work and wait with eager anticipation. My favorite show was with Joe Walsh and the Fishin' Musician. They went Snipe hunting and left Gill in the bushes lost and crying, lol!
This gets better every time I watch it, and I have watched it many, many times.
I'll always remember where I was when Billy McKay fired Mojo...
Thank you VERY much for compiling this.
Man, this is golden comedy material. I loved SCTV.
