I've been thinking about this show lately. I dug up the final episode from 1997 on YouTube. There are some really funny moments. I love it when Toth's "prop" drink was replaced with real whiskey.

I liked the halloween episode where Toth was Elvis and Lansborough (sp?) went as Ed Whalen.

MALFUNCTION AT THE JUNCTION! HE HEA!

Actually, Toth was the Honky Tonk Man, a wrestling Elvis impersonator who had many great exchanges with Whalen when he was in Stampede Wrestling.

I stand corrected. That's even funnier.

I sure wish I could find an audio file of Ed Whalen doing "Ring a ding dong dandy" or "Malfunction at the Junction" during a hockey game.

It would make the best ringtone ever.

EDIT - SWEET! It is in the last couple minutes of the 4th vid.

That was hilarious - I used to have that on Video along with the time I sent a question in to Leif Petterson during the TSN game of the week under my brother's name. The Ed Whalen impression was hilarious.

I loved watching Sports @ 11:30. Brings back good memories. Toth and Lounsbrough (sp? lol) made a great duo.

Back when The Score first arrived, anyone remember Greg Sansone and Mark Hebscher? I always thought they reminded me of Toth and Launsbhhaiusdqha whatever his name is. Hebscher would have my brother and I in tears some nights with the vids he'd come up with.

I liked the show a lot, but when the pop was replaced with liquor, it was not funny and Lowensbrough went over the line. Toth does not drink, so to do that to someone knowing that fact, shows no respect for that person.

That makes it more funny in my opinion....but Lownsbrough was fired for over stepping the line on practical jokes, it was his thing I guess.

Does anyone remember when they had Graham James live in the studio and Lownsborough started really grilling James about what happened in Swift Current, asking him really pointed questions about why they practically drove him out of town with pitchforks? After a bit of this line of questioning by Lownsbrough, James said he wasn't going to put up with such treatment, tore his mic off his collar and stomped off the set. When he stood up it became apparent he was wearing nothing below the belt except Speedo swim suit bottoms!! He had a regular shirt on, but he'd been sitting there behind the desk wearing frikin Speedos ... what a creep. It's no wonder Lownsbrough was letting him have it.

This all occurred a quite a while before the whole Graham James scandal broke ... about a year before as I recall. At the time I was kind of amazed at how agressive and down right rude Lownsbrough was being to him, but it all made sense when the whole story broke. Lownsbrough is a good ole Saskatchewan boy from Carnduff, which isn't too far from Oxbox, if you know what I mean. He obviously had his connections to junior hockey in Sask and knew what was going on with that creep James, but didn't have anyone who would go on the record and come right out and accuse James of being a pedophile.

That's the one episode of Sport At 11/11:30 that I'll always remember, just because Lownsbrough labelled that SOB James, and James knew it. Aside from that though, the jokes and humour were great too.
