The only time SNL came close to SCTV was season 10 with Martin Short, Billy Crystal, Rich Hall, Harry Shearer and Christopher Guest. Foregoing the "young, newcomer cast" for seasoned veterans willing to take chances and adding more prerecorded segments over the live sketches. The tone was intentionally more SCTV and creative and, coincidentally, my favorite season, by far. Sadly, Lorne Michaels returned the next season and blew the whole thing up and went back to the more miss-than-hit sketch format.

Wow! All 88 albums? What a true shmenge enthusiast! I only own 73 of them.

While many say The Beatles were the greatest band of all time, I think it was The Shmenges. Their "Composite Sole" album was a musical breakthrough. With such hits as "Drive My Ox Cart Polka," "Lutonian Wood Polka," "No? Then Where, Man? Polka," Mitchell Polka" "I'm :Looking Through Your Sox Drawer Polka" and "Run for Your Borscht Polka," it changed music forever. And they are still the only band ever to sell out the Schaumberg Ice Arena in Bismark, ND three nights in a row.

Florence Jucker, the violinist in the Happy Wanderers band, passed away July 24 this past summer. She was an extremely talented performer, playing violin since she was 6 years old. She could play anything on that fiddle/violin and did. Performing with her younger sister Andrea, as the Hansen Sisters in the 1950's with notables as Guy Lombardo, George Burns, and at Expo 67. They did TV shows such as the Tommy Hunter show, and performed for the Canadian Armed Forces. After her sister left for the USA with her husband, Florence convinced her daughter Deb to play with her as the Hansen Singing Strings. That's Deb playing the acoustic guitar in the band here as well.

Mary Coleman I hope this isn't too much of an inside story, but you may know that the Shmenge act is partly a send-up of the ultra-square Lawrence Welk show. The Lemon Sisters are based on the Lennon Sisters who performed each week with Welk's band. Anyway, the character of Linsk Minyk, who left the Shmenges to carve out a name for himself as a solo, is a bow to popular clarinetist Pete Fountain, who departed the Welk show for bigger things and made good. Fountain was a jazz musician trapped in a polka scene, rather like Minyk who longed to enter the musical mainstream of his day.

They never actually make fun of the music, I noticed, and this cadenza/drum solo shines a light on the talent involved in Polka music. What a brilliant hour of entertainment all around. Just genius the economy they achieve with these antics. Can’t believe it..

I remember at one of their concerts, they brought out a Tshirt cannon. They had no tshirts and since Leutonia didn't have their own 'national food', the Schmenges just shot pierogi into the audience. What a hoot that was. It brings tears to my eyes just thinking about it. 😭

I was a young fan in 1984. After the Jordan, Ontario show I was invited backstage by one of the violin players. It was one of the most depraved yet liberating experiences of my young life. To this day I can’t see a cabbage roll without intense feelings.

It was a special thing they had going there with SCTV. What a talented bunch. I always looked forward to the Schmenges skits. Not only were Candy and Levy hilarious but I actually enjoyed the Polka music.

From the little bit of Leutonian in us all, thank you Stan and Yosh!

Back to the Road Again. Rick Moranis you are great. And of course John and Eugene were perfection.

That looked like a real concert with the Happy Wanderers, i would pay to see them☺ Rick Moranis terrific as the singer too. Those SCTV guys put it all on the line, the greatest.

I thought Val Babbyit was being interviewed in the upper floors of an office building, until I saw various legs walking by the window. It’s little details like this that makes this movie so enjoyable to me.

I saw them at a polka festival in Toledo, Ohio. They were fabulous. I think their eleven encores were the greatest spectacle I've ever witnessed. They reach deep into our hearts every time they take the stage. Best live performance I've ever seen!!

Shh.... Don't tell anybody but I have an original copy of the Shmenge's Lost Basement Tapes 1967-1969. These are golden. Alternate versions of some of their greatest polkas, with rare audio of them arguing over who can boil the best cabbage. This is what Shmenge aficionados around the world are drooling for.

I thought no one could top Lawrence Welk, that is, until the Smenges tood stage late at night, 10:00, as half the crowd nodded off by that time. Stan laid on his back going crazy on the accordion and Yosh spinning in circles while blowing his clarinet. The crowd went crazy. 1500 people must have showed up.

The shave and a haircut endings the tuba solo where they walk of stage...these guys did their musical homework, which is great! It makes it that much better

On my gosh, I had this VHS forever. Somebody took it. So thanks for posting.

I can’t believe I watched the whole thing...my face hurts now from the smiling and laughing. Hate that when that happens! These two together was gold. We all miss JC bad. Bet EL does too. Imagine them together on Schitts creek? Thanks for this

I’m 65 years old. SCTV 👍🏻

John was exceptional man. He'll be missed for generations by his fans for sure.

love the tuba solo at 31:10 (devil horns, and lighters ignite!!!)

I have never seen this before. I've been a fan of SCTV for a long time, never saw this before. Loved these characters of Eugene Levy and John Candy. Thank you for sharing this, it made me laugh ,appreciated.

The tuba solo killed me 😂😂😂

I remember my first Schmenges concert. My life would never be the same.
