I, like the other reviewers, am a huge fan of SCTV. This video consists of clips of John Candy from SCTV, but you just can't chop this kind of satire up and still make it work -- it's like the "Beatles' Greatest Hits"; like making Fred and Ginger dance in a refrigerator box; like "Julia Child Cooks Celery" or "Hamlet, the Readers' Digest Version."

They need to either reproduce the SCTV programs whole, or not at all.

Except for classic Saturday Night Live (1975-80), SCTV is one of the most funniest, creative and most inventive television comedy shows ever to be broadcast. From Dr. Tounge to Jonny LaRue, Candy exhibits his great talent in one scene after the other. Why is there not more SCTV on video? Why are we forced to watch garbage and untalented people like Tom Green when we could spend the rest of our lives watching Candy doing something really funny (and things that don't hurt people!) Put more SCTV on video! PLEASE! If I could put 10 stars for this one, I would. Rent it, laugh at it and tell everyone: John Candy lives!

I just heard from a very reliable source that there will indeed be a video release of SCTV scetches shortly. Finally we get to see more of the great Candy, as seen here, but the brilliant Andrea Martin and Catherine O'Hara. These actors all deserved to be greater sucesses. The closest one was O'Hara in the hilarious classic Waiting For Guffman/
