I remember SCTV very well. A lot of todays big names in comedy passed through that show. Loved "The Count"
and his "Monster Chiller Horror Theater" in "3D".
Those TV sets hitting the ground were just so much junk when they did that show some 25 years ago. Now it kinda hurts to see it, as they're becoming so rare.
I used to watch that show on a 15" magnavox B&W set (1962 model I think). I salvaged it from a guys back yard when I was in high school. Was full of sticky stuff (Coke maybe.....I hope) so I took it apart and hosed it out with hot water in grandmas' back yard, let it dry in the sun for a few days and put it back together. Worked like a champ for several years. I had to be careful though....if I didn't have the non-polarized plug in the right way, I got a nasty tingle off of the metal case.
