I remember back in the seventies when SCTV first aired. There was nothing like it then, and it hasn't been equaled since. SNL was good but much more erratic. I especially remember the spoof of Fantasy Island, and How the Middle East Was Won. It was hilarious from start to finish. The original cast was truly special, with Harold Ramis soon stepping back to direct from behind the scenes. I was thinking the other day that John Candy never had an over-the-top movie, they didn't seem capable of casting him where he could have really plied his talents. I would like to have seen him do a no holds barred film starring as Louisiana governor Huey Long. He would have been a natural.
