Right?! I even thought that was Andy Kaufman playin the clarinet there for a second. Lol! Was trying to think if I remembered him being on the show growing up. Lol. Never missed it.
Wow, as a kid I taped the audio of this episode on cassette tape and listened to it over and over. Haven'e seen the video since it was broadcast, 1980 or so. Thanks for posting this!
Taken from then-ABC affiliate WPEC CBS 12 in West Palm ✋🏻 Beach 😎, Florida, in the wee hours of July 26, 1986, and originally broadcast 🔊 at 3:30 🕞 am Eastern.
@@QuadMochaMatti WPEC was forced to switch its affiliation from ABC to CBS on January 1 (New Year 🎊🎆🍾’s Day), 1989, in order 📑 to compensate for the fact WCIX (which had switched from Fox 🦊 to CBS as part of the 1989 South Florida affiliation switch) had a weaker signal 🚥 north of Miami than the other Miami TV 📺 stations 🚉🚉🚉🚉🚉🚉🚉🚉🚉🚉.
@@VHScape thanks for reminding me! But I meant more serious and thoughtful, not slapstick comedy. His poirot exposes how perfect that sort of part would have been for his acting style.
Hmm... I just noticed while letting the theme run on this episode, there’s Dave Thomas and in the upper right it shows Doug McKenzie ? well before series 3 and Rick Moranis joining ! I’m guessing these later syndicated tapings weren’t always using the themes as originally broadcast. But by the time we get to series 6 every episode shows characters unique to that particular airing.
The REAL polka ad fits in Perfectly with an SCTV show !

Don't forget the Schmenges.
"They're a bunch of Schmengees."
"he's mean."

The polka collection isn't available anymore. I tried.
For a comedy show on a shoestring budget, I am always impressed with the costuming they did for period piece sketches. Everyone looks stunning here!
Is Earl Camembert the original Ron Bergundy?! 😂
These Real and Older Commercials are just a Bonus to the Actual Episode. I Honestly thought for a Min that the Polka Commercial was Fake Lmao!
Eugene Levy is a triumph!
I thought the polka-record commercial was part of the show.
Edit: of course Dave Thomas would have been narrating, had the volume a bit low.
What on earth was the logic of the TV station pledging a commitment ‘to people’ …as opposed to real estate ? Asparagus ? Navel lint ?
"...playthings for ghetto kids.." Yes, thats how we used to pass the day as kids, playing with bent nails lol.

What did they do wrong to cease to be an affiliate of the American Broadcasting Company?

@@QuadMochaMatti Well, it's true.
Blew upreel good!
Hey!
Hey.
John Candy was so good as Poirot I suddenly feel eternally ripped off to never get a proper John Candy detective story
See "Who's Harry Crumb".
