since you are the comedy expert around here, i would like to know your opinions of sctv and how it holds up 20 years later. I hate buying something I remeber being good and then it just sucking :(

thank you.

i dont remember really liking this show as a kid, but for $30, i'm gonna try to get it anyways :(

I'm totally planning to buy this. I love SCTV. 30 dollars is a way awesome price, too. I watched it a lot in reruns after Conan before Carson Daly got a show. Not EVERY sketch is great, and some of the material is dated beyond my memory. But it is definately worth 30 bucks. DEFINATELY.

I was very willing to shell out 60 bucks for this, so if I can buy these at 30 bucks a peice, I'm gonna buy two and give one as a gift. :(

I like the old SCTV shows before they moved to I think Calgary to film. they play re-runs here very often and they have a infomercial of Guy Cabalero selling Rogers cable stuff so it's like it still lives on here.

I use to watch it after conan too, although the title music was freaky :eek

I dont think the $30 deal is going to work. I had to insist on paying now and after I did he told me there is just a credit on my account for it, so I guess that means its not paid for officially. shit. :( i hope i am wrong :(

I went to the Blockbuster here, and it didn't show up in the computor :(

[whoreable]

i will try and check tommorow.

$30? Holy shit.

SCTV DVD Set 1 - What's Changed
While it appears Shout has done a pretty good job securing music for the new set, there have been some edits on the new set. Blow by blow:

Episode 1: The end credits music has been changed to a generic theme; the original had a recording of "Thanks for the Memories."
Episode 2: Part 1 of Polynesiantown has been moved forward, swapped with Brenda Vaccaro commercial and Sammy Maudlin. Again, the end credits music has been changed to a generic theme.
Episode 3: The Star Wars music in Empires Are A Girl's Best Friend has been changed to a similar-sounding theme.
Episode 4: Clean!
Episode 5: Clean!
Episode 6: The repeat of Indira has been removed. The Crosby, Stills, Nash, and Young music (Gerry Todd Show) has been changed, though the "White Christmas" vocals remain.
Episode 7: The bumper for The Nobel has been moved from the first break to the very last piece in the show. The Kovak Expert commercial has been moved from segment 2 to segment 5. The bumper for The Tubes on Scuttlebutt Lodge has been removed. A seemingly new (?) bumper for Roy Orbison has been inserted before his performance of "Working for the Man." Bumpers for The Silly Bastard and One On the Town have been reshuffled throughout the show.
Episode 8: Clean!
Episode 9: Max Lax and Shakespeare in the park have been swapped in the running order. The Mckenzie Brothers National Anthem music has been replaced with the GWN theme. Fantasy Island has been moved to the end of the show and its SCTV Afternoon Movie identifier has been removed. Finally, many bumpers have been shuffled.
