SCTV Network 90(1981)

Comedy parody about TV.

SCTV Network 90 is a sketch comedy series that brought Canada's beloved Second City TV cast to NBC in the late 1980s. The ensemble transplanted their signature absurdist humor and recurring characters to American television, building on the success of their earlier Canadian broadcasts. Dick Blasucci joined as a staff writer and occasional foil to the cast's eccentric personalities. Though Tony Rosato and Robin Duke departed early to work on Saturday Night Live, the show's strength remained its stellar lineup of performers whose sharp wit and inventive sketches defined the series. SCTV Network 90 showcased the cast's talent for character work and satirical comedy that had made them Canadian television icons.
