[net.tv] SCTV

ernie@nmtvax.UUCP (09/25/84)

Just to let you know:

	SCTV is no longer on Cinemax, in fact, it is no longer in
	production, a situation that has not been true for eight years.
	I guess it didn't have enough viewers on the 'Max to warrant
	renewal.

There is, however, a package of over 150 half-hoursof SCTV available
for syndication. These shows are edited from the old syndicated show and
the NBC years, possibly the year on Cinemax as well, but I haven't seen
anything from there.

The shows in this package are well put-together.  Just this afternoon
I saw "The Merv Griffin Show - The Special Edition" and a "Great White
North".

Lotsa luck in everyone's searches for Comedic Satisfaction.

   Umm, excuse me, but I have Cinemax and they have been running promos
lately for SCTV: The Second Coming (or something like that) and they have
already run a couple of shows in the second season.  Many of the segments
seem to be repeats, maybe everything.  Maybe they have gone out of 
production, but the shows are running now.

Attention shoppers, our blue-light special today is RooAway...
