. . the original Ocean's Eleven gave rise to a hilarious SCTV parody . .

To quote funnyman Bobby Bittman:

HOW ARE YAH?

The OE parody I didn't see, but by-the-by, I think SCTV and The Simpsons are the two best (best, not merely funniest) shows in the history of television.

Bobby B. in On the Waterfront!! With first-rate support from deeply-troubled, multi-talented Lola H.

I cried right along with Sammy Maudlin, and I'm not ashamed to admit it.

LOL I still go around quoting Bobby B.

You're dead on. SCTV and Simpsons are two of the top programs ever to appear on TV.
