    God. I can't believe it's almost 40 years since I was staying up late on Sat nights (when 11, 12 years old) watching this show. Seems like yesterday. Good times.

    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.

      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!

      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).

      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!

    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.

    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 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.

    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.

    • @37view37
      @37view37 3 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      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.

I think I'd read that Conrad Bain had an identical twin, and I thought Bonar looked & sounded slightly different from Conrad. This was a fun show.
