"SCTV is at least one of the few funniest shows in TV history."

You bet. It was 30 minutes that seemed to go by in 5 minutes. I know everyone talks about "I love Lucy" and Jackie Gleason's "The Honeymoners" but for me the era of "SCTV", "Benny Hill", "Monty Pyton" and the first two seasons of "Saturday Night Live" was the golden age of television comedy.

i would add Fawty Towers to your list. Ramis was really a great comedic talent. Not necessarily a household name, but he was brilliant in almost any phase of filmmaking. Acting, writing, directing...he could do it all.

I think Harold was the only Chicago-based member of SCTV, the rest were from Toronto.
