How rad is it that Mrs. Falbo drives the gnarliest, cherry bad-ass muscle car ever??? i always loved that.

John Candy as Mr. Messenger just rounds out the sketch.

That opening segment always cracks me up - I have to think the old guy is just a street resident who walked by and his 'what the hell?' reaction is real.

I first saw this skit when I was about 12 years old. The bit where the convict says he's in for manslaughter, and Candy's reaction shot are still hilarious. I still feel that SCTV was the greatest TV ever made in Canada.

The building used for the prison was the RC Harris water filtration plant in Toronto's east end in the Beach community. It was also used in a couple of movies including Strange Brew and John Carpenter's In the Mouth of Madness. I grew up just up the street from it and I also went to Neil McNeil H.S. also just up the street from the plant. John Candy graduated from the same H.S.

Saw her one-woman show at the Public Theater around then as well. [This was all in NYC, you rubes.] I'm not easily impressed, but she's the real deal.

Thank you so much for this. SCTV rocked. It is great to see it again.

Ah SCTV! Thanks for posting this , I always got a good laugh from these skits.

SwankSong There was a similar building in Sandusky, OH, we could see it from my godmother's backyard on Sandusky Bay. It was the water treatment plant, but its fortress-like appearance always made us think it was a prison, we used to talk about what the prisoners were having for dinner that night. (Privately my family would agree it should be my godmother's cooking, she was not as nearly good as she thought she was.)

"i'll have LOTS please!"

She comes out and gets into a massive Mopar with jacked up rear and big fat tires! Awesome!

I haven't seen this in years! And Andrea Martin apparently reprised Mrs Falbo on "Sesame Street" in the late 90s. "That was very foolhardy, Mrs. Falbo"

What a voice. Opera quality.

Wow! I haven't seen this in years, and it's the first time I ever noticed that's the RC Harris Filtration Plant!

I feel lucky that I was around to watch this after midnight on NBC Saturday nights backin the early 80s. We had good shows back then when compared to these fake reality shows which are "dumbing" down the nation.

After the 1993 Melonville Prison riots, inmates had to wear jester suits for 1 month. Kept the prison tailors busy.

Candy almost laughing when the sign starts to tilt.
