I just found out that a 5 disc set of sctv comes out June 8. now I just need to find a good way to waste 3 months
I hear ya! I only wish they were releasing the whole series at once-- This way, we have to wait to see any Ed Grimley or Bob & Doug!
Still, I ain't complaining-- The fact that SCTV is coming to DVD, and that they're doing full episodes instead of a "best-of" treatment, is enough to make my year!
This will be a true treasure. I have fond memories of watching SCTV late Saturday Nights around 1980.
Are they going by season, or just a bunch of random episodes ala MST3K?

It's supposedly going to be the season where the shows were 90 minutes. There's some classic long-form satire there, although I'd really love the show's first season, when Harold Ramis was a member and the budgets were about ten dollars a show. Canadian.
The box features not the entire season, but nine of the 90 minute shows. Press release here:

Here's an extended review of the forthcoming set:

They should just air the show after Conan like they used to.They did before that Carson Daly tool started his show.
