i miss him but more from his SCTV days ..
none of the SCTV alumni were ever as good in their respective movies as they were in that brilliant series.

with SCTV they each had a hundred different characters they played ..

better than SNL in my opinion ... WAY better.

probably neck and neck with Monty Python - where Python was more cerebral, SCTV had the edge on different characters.
Some amazing immitations and funny stereotypical manifestations of their own..

We never got that program over here. Do they have it on video or anything?

it origionated in canada and after a couple of years it moved to the USA and was a 90min TV show.
Although the earlier episodes are not available they've started to release the 90 minute shows to DVD.
So far 2 seasons have been released (5 DVDs each)

its the kind of show that most people would find annoying at first but once you got to know the characters it becomes a lot of fun.

also - younger people might not get a lot of the jokes because they are based on people who arent around now (its a pretty old show)

John Candy, Rick Moranis (ghostbusters), Martin Short, Harold Ramis (also ghostbusters) all got their start here.

Ivan Reitman (ghostbusters, stripes, heavy metal) used these guys a lot.

The shows always remained Canadian - even when in the USA - and referred to local landmarks constantly as canadian in-jokes.

you might just think it was stupid (and anyone outside of Canada and under 30 - i wouldnt blame them) but its cool to see where these actors started out.

Other people you might know to see but maybe not by name : Joe Flaherty, Eugene Levy, Andrea Martin, Catherine O'Hara.

I sounds pretty cool I grew up watching a lot of those guys so I think I'd get into it. I've gotta get around to getting a DVD player so I can check a lot of this stuff out.

I loved HM both the magazine and the movie. My favorite part of the movie were the aliens snorting space coke.
