SCTV: Best Of The Early Years is a collection of SCTV's best half-hour episodes and a tribute to the new talent and limitless creativity of the people who built the SCTV network.
SCTV began humbly in late 1976 with a low-to-no-budget half-hour show airing monthly in Canada on the Global Television network, then a struggling startup. It didn't take long for the exceptional cast and writers to make their mark on the comedy-loving counterculture - by its third SCTV was airing weekly on the CBC and syndicated in the U.S.
Guy Caballero and Edith Prickley were born on these shows. The McKenzie Brothers were created. Earl Camembert, Floyd Robertson, Johnny LaRue, Sammy Maudlin and Bobby Bittman - characters who were destined to become household names - were first beamed into consciousness here.
