Martin Scorsese to Direct SCTV Retrospective Special for Netflix

I'd prefer a reissue of the Cinemax years, because I haven't seen them, augmented with the various spinoff one-off cable specials, like THE LAST POLKA, the Bobby Bitman documentary, etc.

 

Interesting that it mentions Robin Duke will be present "in the audience" but will not participate. When they did their SCTV reunion benefit show in 2009, Robin Duke was part of the show, but she performed with Women Fully Clothed, not with SCTV. There were two panel discussion type things included as extras on the SCTV DVDs. She took part in one, but not the other. (Been a while since I watched, but as I recall she didn't have a lot to say during the one she attended.)

Of course, I would not expect John Candy, Harold Ramis or Tony Rosato to be there. Don't know about people like Mary Charlotte Wilcox, John Hemphill and Mike Short.

 

Here's a recent picture.

 

And where’s Rick Moranis this time? I wonder why he’s not in the picture.

 

whenever I see this thread pop up I go on a sctv bender, the early eps had some great ones

 

That was great. John Candy as a sadistic prison matron. I loved that man!

 

Yes, would love to see a reissue of the Cinemax years...loved Six Gun Justice!

 

He will be part of this after all.

Rick Moranis Joins 'SCTV' Reunion Documentary for Netflix

 

I loved John Candy and Catherine O'Hara without question and I will brook no babbling etc.

 

That’s great to know. So everyone will be back together again.

 

Attended the taping today. Netflix has asked for spoilers to not be leaked (although they are out there if you look) but will say that Rick Moranis got the biggest ovation when they came out on stage, John Candy's spirit and artistry will be a huge part of this special, clips from the original show were well-chosen, Jimmy Kimmel did a good job moderating, and you can feel the love and respect they all have for each other (and Harold Ramis and John Candy).

It's going to be a great special from what I saw.

 

Very jealous! I was tempted to try to go, but Toronto is a bit of a hike!

 

Where is this documentary?? We need it already.

 

How did I miss this thread and this news?

I'm on this like Johnny Pavoratti on provolone.

 

I know, it's been almost a year since the taping I attended.

 

Werner Herzog!

 

Its been a year now..whatever happened to this special??

 

I always wondered if a certain member of The Who saw this skit.

 

It's still on Scorsese's IMDB page but... that's it. No release date, nothing.

 

I wonder if it got shelved for some reason, or maybe theyre waiting for a certain date?

 

I'm starting to wonder if maybe there is an issue with the clips? Some of the songs they did were covers. Although you can easily find many of these clips on YouTube and I am not always clear with licenses for songs, so it's just a suggestion. It's just strange that everything has gone quiet a year later.

 

And where's my "Cinemax & Spinoffs" DVD box set? I mean, this is capitalism, right? Supply meets demand?

 

I hope there is a fair use clause for this stuff. But if there isn't there is no way this clip will make it. The Rich Little version does it in.
