03 Merv Griffin, The Special Edition [077] [SCTV - Seasons 4 & 5]

These videos are in no way meant to replace the purchasing of commercially produced DVDs of SCTV. Making this series available is in no way meant to break copyright law. I am hoping fans of the series will have renewed interest in SCTV and will spread the word about this Classic Canadian Comedy Legend.
I have included all 185 episodes of the Syndicated Series of SCTV. Please note that the Syndicated Series has material not available on the current crop of DVDs, and also that the DVDs have material not available in the Syndicated Series. Please note that there is also material not available in either.
This means that at this time, the complete series is not commercially available for purchase. I hope you will consider signing the online petition at www.change.org/p/shout-factor...

This is about as good as it gets. Almost too brilliant for TV.

Pure genius...

Just the opening sketch with that over-the-top impersonation of Angie Dickenson and all the violence going on in the background (nod to Police story and Police Woman) is hilarious. I and my friends in high school were right about SCTV back when so many dismissed it. In one of our senior year classes several of us responded with a Merv-like "Oooooo" to his referencing the MIRV-missile and the teacher acknowledged it with "I see there are some fans of SCTV here." That alone was vindication, as this teacher seemed pretty cool to us at the time.

Merv Griffin meets Close Encounters and 2001 A Space Odyssey?!? Just goes to show you. NBC. Big network. Big bucks. Right? So SCTV had to be elevated in quality. Acting, writing, etc. And it shows. Keep watching. The Emmys are coming their way...

I love how HAL the computer was sick and by the time he got well Jack Nicholson had got his part in The Shining.

Merv Griffith. Combining merv griffin and Andy Griffith. Only sctv could come up with something so brilliant and funny

My cousin said of course George Lucas is more powerful than Vader he created the shit

Shameless plug for Intelevision! LMAO! Yes kiddies, before Playstation, there was Atari, Intelevision, and Odyssey. Then came Colecovision, and Nintendo. Then Playstation.

Dr. Kinsey, she still isn't putting out! We've been married 5 years and have 3 kids, what gives?

[@paulhawkins4895]

The gratuitous butt padding is just the icing on the cake, way over the top. And hilarious.

That set has a lot going on. This was ahead of its time. God Bless SCTV for existing in the memory of Lorne Michaels' because it's raising the bar for SNL, even at the end of 2022.

Wow, the way they worked over the Stunt Double! Makes you wonder: What all does the actor do?
