I remember watching this episode as a little kid, my brother and I put cabbage leaves on the back of our heads and spoke like we were under Zontar's control. My mom just flipped out. It was funny when I was 10. It's funny now.
Bwahahah What a great story and family memory to have! Thanks for sharing! Totally cracked me up! I was older when I saw it. But everyone at the bars and costume parties the next night, Halloween were wearing cabbage leaves on the backs of their heads and acting like they were under Zontar's control. One guy actually pulled off a Zontar costume and Won the Best Costume Prize at one bar! I Love that you two kids were getting into acting outthe show too! Bwahahah!

@ Bryan G... well I have a friend who pays bad money to go to the movies but since he only goes so he can make out with his girlfriend he could care less how bad the movie is
Growing up watching this show in northern Ontario Canada, I couldn't wait to get to school the next day to laugh again with my buds and impersonate the amazing characters and bits. So long ago and the comedy still stands up !!
hello from Dallas..we grew up near Houston @ Conroe/McCullough High School also raced home via Speech & Debate..UIL Actor's Classes SCTV was our muse, our inspiration and we saw the Actors go to the Lower 48, star in movies films and tv...especially: Rick Moranis, John Candy and Catherine O'Hara...utterly BRILLIAN it STILL amazes us...GO SCTV!! :)
To be fair, I grew up when Moranis was mostly typecast as nerds in movies (and then quit showbiz because his wife died and he decided to raise his children out of the spotlight). Yeah, TVLand did air SCTV reruns, but I don't think they aired the seasons with Moranis as a cast member (and if they did, then they were cut for syndication).
@@canaisyoung3601 Interesting personal details! I had no idea about Rick's wife passing and him deciding to be a stay at home Dad. Because until recently I haven't had time to delve into old shows and movies or the personal details of any actors comedians or artists. Thanks to the pandemic! Anyway Rick Moranis was a fabulous actor and truly an honourable man and father to step away from his career to dedicate his time to his family! God knows you certainly don't get those year's at home back once the become adults and are out trying to survive their journey through life! Good for him. Again thanks for sharing this information. 💞🇨🇦🤣😂
there's an issue of Mad Magazine, & DeForest was going to go mountain climbing, & he broke his leg... ...trying on hiking boots in the shoe store & i dunno why but that was the funniest thing ever when i was a kid just cracked me up so much!
such a bizzaro parallel UHF TV universe...Mrs Falbo and Mr Messenger...with guest G. Gordon Liddy CLASSIC....a troope of thespians extraordinaire via CANADA!
SCTV One of my favorite shows of all times. Brings back so many memories of the early, early 80's and staying up late on the weekend for some great Canadian TV.
Funny thing about John. I did some online research in regards to the cast and could not find a site that listed him as a cast member. I have to wonder why.
I used to come home from work on friday and it was my favourite show. I'd put my feet up, open a beer and laugh with the SCTV guys and gals. Thanks for sharing with us.
an amazing talent to seque, keep the energy going all are theatre and tv actors as an ensemble they REALLY play well so well off one another..the energy is amazing. :)
I used to watch this show every week...Looking back at it now, it seems to be an incredibly demanding show for the performers. Great job everyone and thanks for the memories!!
I just came here for the comments...oh, and Hank Bain, G. Gordon Liddy, Brian Johns, Natalie Cole....oh, who am I kidding, I love all of this!! SCTV, simply the best!
'Saw this when it first aired at age 11. Was fascinated by the concept of a network taking over NBC for 90 minutes. I understood maybe 60% of the comedy at the time. I loved it.
Seeing Falbo’s Tiny House bit…In 1982 I owned a 1971 Plymouth Roadrunner with the 440 six pack and air grabber hood. It was jacked up just like the car she drove with Cragar SS wheels and Big assed meats w/ladder bars. Just seeing this car brought back many memories of my first year of college and racing my car. Great looking car! 🤙🤙🤙
When I originally watched this, I assumed "Hank Bain" was just Conrad Bain using a pseudonym. Even seeing "Bonar Bain" in the credits didn't convince me otherwise. I think it was a decade or so before I found out Bonar was Conrad's twin brother.
Matt Killeen, it wasn’t until THIS moment - reading your post - that I found out Conrad Bain even had a twin! I too just assumed from that first viewing decades ago, and even watching it again today, that this was just a joke to play off the cheapness of the fictional Caballero station: they couldn’t afford stars so they’d get star siblings. Watching the end credits moments ago I thought Bonar was a joke credit playing off on Zontar. What a revelation. Didn’t have IMDB back then.
Way past my bedtime when it first aired. In the Nineties, though, I was in college out west and it was syndicated in late afternoon/early evening. That was when I first really got to see so many of these gems.
Jez…the comedy is just so all over the place. So many chances being taken and that whole cheesiness low budget vibe is perfect. Forgot how funny all of these bit were with an amazing amount of talent.
I had skipped the first portion of the video. SCTV aired '76-84 . I think Falbo's muscle car was 1976 Ford Torino. Might have been used on "Starsky & Hutch."
SCTV Never gets old! If anything it gets better! Thank you for sharing this episode! I remember watching it the night it aired because the next night was Halloween and this episode had big impact! Because several people wore the cabbage leaves on the backs of their heads some dressed up like SCTV characters all walking around possessed, at all the Bar dances with costume parties and at the after parties, that I went to over that night! One person even dressed up as Zontar! It was really great! Bwahahah !

I love how Mrs Falbo shuts the door on her skirt. There's an '80s Sniglet for that...the 'hem pennant.' When I do an occasional hem pennant , it always cracks me up.
Thank you for posting these SCTV gems. Natalie Cole was wonderful. She is missed! Interesting to know that Zontar had tried to take over Canada before becoming U.S. President in 2020!😮
I used to sneak downstairs to the TV at midnight when SCTV would broadcast, early 1980's. I almost remember this episode. Too classic. Put a smile on my face. I miss this TV & especially Bob & Doug McKenzie. Top comedy no one can match. And all Canadian. I didn't know Bob & Doug was recorded in Edmonton Alberta. As a kid back then I would of begged, pleaded, stole a car to visit their set.(I was raised in Alberta, Canada, also never stole a car in my life) :)... Lol... Too funny. But for Bob and Doug.... humm???? They are not criminals, unless they raise a mouse in a beer bottle to get free beer, because if they found a mouse in their beer bottle they get a free beer case... Too funny. Top Comedy that makes me laugh. And it is good to have a laugh now.
No, that was Casa Loma in Toronto, aka Guy's mansion Casa Del Forgio. Also the R.C. Harris water treatment plant, aka the Melonville Maximum Security Prison.
''You know this is an advent screen. Get in the front so I can see you!'' Still love that and the show. I saw this when it premiered way back when I was but 19. Where did the years go? lol.
I loved SCTV. I remember the TVs that were thrown out windows, the Great White North, teaching poodles how to fly, Guy Caballero in his w/c then standing up and walking away, Mrs. Falbo, Monster Chiller Horror Theater, Johnny LaRue, all of the episodes. They were classic and so funny. Joe Flaherty was from Pittsburgh. We had a late night show called Chiller Theater that showed scary movies. John Candy and all the actors were amazing.
I hear ya...there were many main stream things I missed in my youth from just living my own life. TV wasn't that important when the world was your oyster.
the best mrs. falbo's tiny town is when she was visiting prisoners and there was a riot/jailbreak. mr. messenger left her ass and she got stuck in lockdown! my laughter tears were flowing when i watched that ep!
How do I not remember John Candy as Julia Childs? This is awesome. I have quite the collection of the cookware she used and promoted, now I''ll chuckle over it. Straight into Mu Mus and plush 70s playpen sofas. I could have done without Henna's hairdo. My god, Dippitydo and hair roller memories of the moms around me. I am in heaven finding these episodes, thank you
On another note, the running plot is a funny take on "It Conquered the World", complete with a human traitor who communicates with the aliens, humans being controlled by something in their necks, the law enforcement authority who uses his gun when someone won't listen... even the big, self-righteous speech at the end. (Of course there are some nods to "Invasion of the Body Snatchers" as well, with cabbages instead of pods, and the ending line, "Keep watching the stars!")

On another note, the running plot is a funny take on "It Conquered the World", complete with a human traitor who communicates with the aliens, humans being controlled by something in their necks, the law enforcement authority who uses his gun when someone won't listen... even the big, self-righteous speech at the end.
(Of course there are some nods to "Invasion of the Body Snatchers" as well, with cabbages instead of pods, and the ending line, "Keep watching the stars!")
