I'm in heaven...
So long I've waited. Living on the memories and videotapes that were slowly fading into gray snow. Exchanging code words with the few others who shared the secret knowledge ("blowed up real good"). Enduring disappointment after disappointment as rumors of disks would float, only to be dispelled by harsh reality.
And now they're here! And they're better than I remembered.
I'm talking about SCTV, of course. The funniest show ever. I've only watched the first (of nine) episodes, and I'm already blown away. I sat there not believing that it was still so incredibly funny. "English for Beginners" ALONE is worth the entire list price of the set ($89), and it's selling in stores for under $65.
If you like comedy at all, go grab this set! It's an absolute do-not-miss. Of course, if you saw SCTV back in the 1980's you don't need me to tell you that. But if you didn't, this is your chance to see the show that helped inspire (among other things) The Simpsons.
John Candy, Dave Thomas, Martin Short (although he's not in the season that has just been released - he joined later), Rick Moranis, Catherine O'Hara, Andrea Martin, Joe Flaherty, Eugene Levy...some of the greatest comedians of the 20th century, back when they were just starting their careers. What more can I say?
