The variety series took shots at celebrities and some cultures for which, from 1976 to 1984, were relevant for the times. (Well, some if it isn’t limiting to just that particular period of time. There is some content, from these videos, which would or would not play here in 2018.)
Among the cast of SCTV: John Candy, Joe Flaherty, Eugene Levy, Andrea Martin (whose performance was nominated for a 1982 Emmy), Rick Moranis, Catherine O’Hara, Martin Short, and Dave Thomas. (The cast were among the staff who won Emmys in 1982 and 1983 for Outstanding Writing in a Variety Series; well, Moranis, O’Hara, and Thomas won in 1982 while Short won in 1983. I have not posted any videos including Short.)
Due to the fact that next week is Christmas, and the following week is New Year’s, I am letting those particular weeks have just one thread each [Mondays, December 24 and 31, 2018]. This one blog topic, good for the weekend, will tie in with Christmas. (Other videos have nothing to do with Christmas. This is mostly an entertainment-related blog topic.)
