Eugene Levy, Catherine O'Hara, Joe Flaherty, John Candy, Andrea Martin, Dave Thomas are a gift from god. I was able to watch SCTV after school on Global TV in the late 70's.. Even thoguh we lived on the US side of Lake Ontario, the signal still reached. Considering what a cultural desert WNY was, I often wonder what my life would have been like without Canadian TV.
