Admittedly, I haven’t seen a lot of SCTV. This is my favorite of the sketches I’ve seen, though. Thanks for showing it to me, Nate!

That was a sketch I didn’t remember until reading it in Dave Thomas’s SCTV book in 1999 or so. I asked my dad about it and he told me how great it was. I wanted to see it so badly. Then, NBC started running SCTV after SNL in 2001 or so. I taped them, and there it was, opening an episode! I was so excited that I kept the tape cued to that so I could show it to people, all of whom enjoyed it.
Then one night, I accidentally taped over it. I figured out what I was doing and stopped the recording just in time for the sketch to be completely wiped away.
Thankfully, SCTV is on DVD. This sketch is on Volume 2 (purple case). All of the SCTV DVDs are remaindered at Dollar General stores nationwide for $10 a pop - a steal!
Wait. $10 for a whole volume of SCTV DVDs that sell for $50+?
Where can I find this Dollar General store you speak of?
