    @@Alsatiagent Agree. For one thing, comedy just had much more range back then. It's too bad that comedy is being censored ....or pressured to censor....these days....due to political sensitivities. Comedy should always have pretty free reign....unless there is clear desire to mock those who are fairly powerless. There is so much humour to be had in topics that are on the edge politically. Satire like All In The Family....was just amazing...and it got it's point across, regardless of those who are dumb enough to think it was meant to support racist or bigoted Americans.

    I've been trying to give SCTV a shot lately. I was born in '83, so I wasn't watching any of this when it was current. Some of the short sketches are funny, but then you get sketches like 'The Towering Inferno,' or that one making a network war into an installment of the Godfather - both of which go on for 15-20 minutes without anything worth a laugh. And it's not that I only 'get' stuff like the new SNL (which I don't watch). Marx, Hope, Skelton, Rickles, Benny, Burns & Allen, the Dean Martin Roasts - all good stuff, but a lot of the early SNL, and most of SCTV falls flat for me.

Also, some of it was more aimed at a Canadian audience (of which I am one), at least in the earlier shows. I was around when SCTV was new, and mostly liked it, but some sketches were not great. But overall, was a good show that I watched every time it was on.

    I suspect people today don’t know that this was a satire of an older, actual program called “Kids Say The Darndest Things”. On that, children were interviewed by the real Art Linkletter who tried his best to get the contestants to say the embarrassing stuff their parents told them NOT to say on the air. There was a heavy overlay of Christianity as well, as Art often asked about Bible stories which the kids would comically misunderstand or mess up. Viewers of this satire in 1979 would have remembered the original from the late 1950s into the ‘60s.

    SCTV was way ahead of its time. They had some really outrageous satirical bits. CBC radio’s version of satire was the Royal Canadian Air Farce, which was milquetoast humour at its worst. This was followed by The Hour Has 22 Minutes which was funny at first, but then was swallowed up by the mediocrity of Toronto, and only the least talented and unfunniest members survived and went on to make bland, PC humour that was sure to offend no one. I wish someone would digitally remaster all of SCTV’s shows. They were on the cutting edge.

    Are you nuts? Both _This Hour Has 20 Minutes_ and Royal Canadian Air Farce_ have the best humor ever from Canada ever. Also, This Hour.. was/is made in Newfoundland, IIRC. Are SCTV fans always so disdainful of humor shows that comment on politics? And do you people live in a Never Never Land, or what?

    @@johnbrowne3950 THis Hour moved to Toronto a few years ago. But comedy is relatively subjective, the fact is that both Royal Air Farce and This hour were shows that went on DECADES. This was six years, and its not like SCTV didn't have its dodgy bits. Especially the soap opera 'satires' that were essentially, well, soap operas. I thought Greg Thomey was the funniest one on SCTV, and I stopped watching pretty early on. Once both shows started getting politicians as guests then it was pretty obvious the satire wasn't exactly going to be cut throat. But SCTV had lots of just silliness, it wasn't always edgy. But no need to try to elevate one show by shitting on others. THose others certainly had audiences who enjoyed them, even this isn't exactly hard hitting by todays standards.

    @Mister Bister Thank you for your comments. While true from your perspective, I remember a very different attitude towards working women in the 70’s and 80’s. This was especially true for women entering into traditionally male dominated fields, such as public safety, engineering, and defense. I remember very vividly how my mother was treated at while working as a paramedic in the 70’s and police officer in the 80’s and 90’s. By the 90’s things were beginning to change but there were nowhere near the opportunities for women there are today. It is almost possible the pendulum has swung too far and women are now suffering a new form of discrimination as you eluded to.

    How are people in the comments saying this couldn't be aired today? This is totally something that could be aired today. The only reason I could see it not working is because the current generation might not be familiar with the "Kids Say the Darnedest Things" format, so they wouldn't understand what its parodying. Subject matter wise though, I don't see any disconnect. It's commenting on how we treat women, not about women themselves, and the sarcasm's pretty on-the-nose to miss.

    @@johnprovince5304 Those shows you mentioned are gone for the usual reasons: poor ratings, cast members wanting to move on, creative differences. I enjoyed them all but I remember how the seams were showing in all of them at the end. As for SNL, everyone has a reason for liking/hating it. I was a faithful fan from 1976 to the January Jones episode in 2009. They did a parody sketch of the making of Rear Window and when they explained to the studio audience who each character was including Hitchcock himself, I knew I was no longer in the target age group. But I don't bash the show like so many do. My observation has been that many people rate the "funniness" of the show over the decades based on who the President was when a particular sketch was performed.
