Legendary sketch show SCTV makes Canadian comeback on Prime Video

From a media release:

Today, Prime Video and The Second City announced that the complete catalog of SCTV (Second City Television) will be available exclusively on Prime Video in Canada beginning March 3. One of Canada’s most influential and groundbreaking sketch comedy series will be available to stream in its entirety for the first time, with six seasons and 135 episodes available to Prime members nationwide.

Created by Toronto’s renowned comedy institution The Second City, SCTV originally aired from 1976 to 1984 and became a cultural phenomenon, launching the careers of Canadian comedy icons Catherine O’Hara, Eugene Levy, John Candy, Martin Short, Rick Moranis, Andrea Martin, and Dave Thomas. The series’ sharp satire and distinctly Canadian point of view earned it multiple awards and a permanent place in television history.

Additionally, on March 24, The Second City Toronto will open its 91st Mainstage Revue where the City of Toronto will honour The Second City with a heritage plaque, with an official unveiling ahead of the performance, recognizing the theatre’s historic contribution to Canadian comedy.
