SCTV: Volume 3
This volume offers nine 90 minute shows from the fourth season to feed the demand for more SCTV. Broadcast on NBC in 1982, these episodes introduce new cast member Martin Short and Chronicle the height of success for characters Bob & Doug. It is here where the Shmenge Brothers (John Candy and Eugene Levy) make their first appearance and the Great White North gets the special Treatment in the "Great White North Palace" featuring Tony Bennett. Celebrities Bill Murray and Carl Perkins join the fray and musical guest Bennett, Jimmy Buffett and Hall And Oates offer classic performances.

SCTV Volume 3 - mxr200
The cast and characters of the fictional SCTV network just gets better. I remember watching it on Global and other network years ago. It is hard to pick out a favourite character as all of them are great. The company Guy who uses the wheel chair for respect or Edith, the VP or the Great White North show to symbolize our Canadian heritage. It is still one of the great shows.Good - rnhaas
For some reason this seems to be more consistent than the earlier years. I guess maybe they were finally getting used to the hour and a half (really 65 minutes) format that seemed way too long initially. There are a few classics, but on the whole the consistency is much more apparent than in previous years. I'm not sure but this might be the peak. There are still a number of gags that don't work though.
