Was that post cleared for release by Edith Prickly ?
The first SCTV skit I ever saw had John Candy doing a Rocky parody. It was actually pretty funny. Unfortunately, I can't find it anywhere now.
I bought the 4 volume DVD set at a local Dollar General ($10 each as opposed to the $60 each Amazon price), and it doesn't have the skit. It is only the hour long shows after NBC bought the show. There is a set on The Early Years, that I haven't purchased, but that skit isn't included.
I think the character was Husky instead of Rocky.
The SCTV guys did a few movies too. Strange Brew has the Moranis/Thomas characters. Another one would be The Last Polka (Candy and Levy characters), but I haven't seen that one.

I liked the 'remake' of 'On the Waterfront' by Bobby Bitman. His promo of it on 'The Sammy Maudlin Show' was excellent writting.
Originally posted by expuddlepirateI haven't used the commentary, but I will next time. I like that older music too. John Candy's fisherman character introduces some nice musical acts. I liked Jimmy Buffet's "Slow Boat To China" for example.

I don't remember the Waterfront sketch that much. I'll have to go back and watch it. Do you remember where it was? I bought all of those in the same day and devoured them one night after another in a row. I remember skipping the soap opera sketches after watching a few (The Heys Of Our Lives), but that was pretty much the only thing I skipped.
Originally posted by paulbuchmanfromficsMy bad, I went back and looked at the set and couldn't find 'On the Waterfront' unless it was inbedded in a Sammy Maudlin skit. I think SCTV had a better set up on their music guests being written into a sketch rather than doing their segment cold.
