I didn't see SCTV until the rerun period and by then, all it's stars were so familiar. Harold Ramis and Rick Moranis were in Ghostbusters. John Candy's career had taken off. Catherine O'Hara was in Home Alone. Joe Flahrety was in Maniac Mansion. Then later on, many of them appeared in American Pie.
As I mentioned, there are DVDs of the NBC shows and some of the Global shows, but none of the Superchannel episodes are available.
I haven't found a torrent of the missing shows. Maybe youtube has some VHS sourced eps.
Yeah, it's been about 3 years since i've done a hard search, so I was hoping that something else might have surfaced... Is there any particular reason the stuff is not available? I actually had 6 or 7 6-hour VHS tapes that I recorded, but they must have been rubbished during one of the moves years ago, and I am sure that would have deteriorated the point of not being worth digitizing...
The company that did the NBC DVD release lost money on it, so I don't think there's a big market for the show.
It's been a while since it was syndicated too. If that were to start up again maybe someone would upload episodes. I'd love for Netflix to pick it up. That would be ideal, but that's up to the right holders I guess.
Does anybody remember the other Canadian sketch comedy show from the early 80s?
Bizarre?
NSFW!
I think it was on Showtime here in the states.

Seems more likely he got the idea here, celebrity jeopardy is pretty much an exact clone.
Lawrence made his way to SNL too in the infamous Synchronized Swimming sketch with Christopher Guest and Harry Shearer .
