SCTV : Behind the Scenes
- Book Review,
by DAVE THOMAS
Amazon.com
If you're like me you only watch "Saturday Night Live" if you're bored our of your gourd or some of your friends are in the featured band. I hate to say it, but the show is simply not funny anymore. And even during the frenetic heyday of SNL, there was a similar show based in Chicago, self-consciously called "Second City TV" that many media afficianados feel was vastly superior to SNL (and in fact, many SNL cast and production staff came to Gotham by way of SCTV, only to be eaten alive). This is a fun book about an important period of American televisied humor and the people that made it worth watching.
