You are so right! SCTV was 1,000 times better than SNL..some of the funniest stuff I've ever seen was on SCTV. Can you recall Guy Cabellero, Tex and Edna's Organ Emporium, Lola Heatherton and Edith Prickley, to name a few, without a smile? Do you know if they are available on DVD?
I see replays on the tube every once in awhile. I also liked CCCTV with Soviet minicams the size of gigigantic cameras.
