Second City documentary available on iTunes



The wonderful documentary 'The Second City - First Family of Comedy', which has been released to DVD (see image above), is now available to download on iTunes.

Join hosts (and Second City alums) Dave Thomas, Scott Thompson, and Joe Flaherty for an uproarious, behind-the-scenes history of the troupe that incubated more than four decades’ worth of funny people. Meet the producers who introduced the world to John Belushi, John Candy, Bill Murray, Gilda Radner, Fred Willard, Eugene Levy, and more. See rare archival clips of early performances. Hear Dan Aykroyd, Rachel Dratch, Tina Fey, Patrick McKenna, Mike Myers, Colin Mochrie, Catherine O’Hara, Harold Ramis, Paul Shaffer, Martin Short, Ryan Stiles, and others reminisce about their salad days. You’ll learn why so many performers call Second City the "university" that gave them a higher education in hilarity.

  1. Was SCTV broadcast on television in the Netherlands?

  2. Not sure, but I guess not. A lot of Dutch people don't even seem to know SCTV. They are familiar with Saturday Night Live. It's time for a Dutch DVD release of SCTV. But.... which company wants to take the risk?

  3. I have the first season of SCTV on dvd. I've also read the book about SCTV by cast member Dave Thomas.
