This iconic Canadian comedy show is now on streaming for the first time ever

It was known across the comedy universe and is still an iconic and hilarious show today! A show that kicked off the massive careers of all of its stars! How many shows can say that! I’m talking about SCTV! John Candy, Catherine O’Hara, Rick Moranis, Eugene Levy, Joe Flaherty, Harold Ramis, and Martin Short! That was just a few of the incredible cast that all turned into comedy legends and all got their start on a Canadian sketch comedy show called Second City Television or SCTV! It ran from 1976 to 1984. The show centered around a fake TV station and the programming on the station!

When it went off the air in 1984, it became almost impossible to find full episodes anywhere, just a few snippets on YouTube. Until now! You can now stream all 6 seasons of comedy gold on Amazon Prime! I know what I’m doing this weekend! Here’s one of my favorite scenes!
