Taken from then-ABC affiliate WPEC CBS 12 in West Palm ✋🏻 Beach 🏖️, Florida, in the wee hours of June 19, 1986, and originally broadcast 🔉 at 3:30 🕞 am Eastern.
Hey James, thanks for noting the broadcast times of these recordings! It was not easy staying up every night to capture them. (setting the vcr timer was unreliable.)
Does anyone who knows the history of local TV news in selected markets get the sense that this particular SCTV News sketch seemed like a little dig at the pairing of Bill Burns with his daughter, Patti Burns, on the noon newscast at KDKA-TV in Pittsburgh? I know that combo made headlines when she first joined him at the midday anchor desk in 1976 (after Bill's prior noon co-anchor, Marie Torre, left KDKA to do TV work in New York), and some wags were none too impressed, referring to them as "Patti and Daddy" - but she was every bit the journalistic professional he was (with the same perfectionistic streak and exacting standards), and eventually she became a Pittsburgh TV news legend in her own right and on her own merits. Unlike Earl Jr., she was no "budding media journalist" when the pairing came to be, she already had quite a bit of seasoning aforehand.
Well no under the kid is drunk.. I would be too if I lived in the same house where they shot "Leave It to Beaver"... Not mention... a house were a murder had taken place!!!
John Candy's nephew, he played a lot of kid roles on the show. Apparently he had a lot of fun too, which is nice! My guess is because that due to being low budget hiring family was cheaper lol, of course he was a good actor too!
I miss SCTV.
