With my 2nd round pick I am proud to select, in the category of CANADIAN, SCTV!
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0075578/
I was so lucky to be exposed to this show via horrible VHS recordings in junior high. We watched these tapes until they didnt' play anymore and could recite many of the skits line by line. I have to admit, that I do love the fact (especially as a kid) that almost nobody I know has any idea what SCTV is or that Rick Moranis, Eugene Levy and Catherine O'Hara had careers before their blockbuster movies!
The talent on this show is unrivaled by any single season of SNL IMHO. So original and I think the premise of a TV network allowed the talent to explore beyond the classic 'skit' format. I will never forget many lines from the show and still use some of them to this day even though nobody has a clue what I'm talking about!
There's a real shortage of clips on youtube but here are a few good ones!
Gordon Lightfoot sings every song ever made!
