Doc 'SCTV: The Greatest Show You've Never Heard Of' Official Trailer

"How do you even assemble all of those people at one time... in Canada?!" Netflix debuted the full official trailer for the comedy history doc titled SCTV: The Greatest Show You've Never Heard Of. It's out to watch streaming on Netflix this week. SCTV is an influential Canadian sketch comedy show that was kind of the Canadian version of Saturday Night Live. Short for "Second City Television", SCTV ran intermittently between 1976 and 1984 about a fictional television station. It was created as an offshoot of Toronto's Second City troupe. Eventually it played on American TV airing on NBC from 1981-1983. This doc explores SCTV's rise & legacy through cast interviews and a Toronto reunion, revealing how the sketch comedy series became influential and launched comedy icons while examining the lasting creative partnerships. Featuring comedy icons like Catherine O'Hara (RIP), Eugene Levy, Rick Moranis, Martin Short, Joe Flaherty (RIP), and John Candy (RIP). Tom Hanks is a massive fan of the show, too. This doc connects right in with the other Toronto comedy doc this year - You Had to Be There about Toronto's Godspell. The film about SCTV is a funny and heartfelt celebration of how a scrappy Canadian show changed comedy forever. ?? Have fun. // Continue Reading ›
