Does anyone remember SCTV?

[Fantasia Girl]

There is this one skit I remember and the family always got scared really easy, and when they did they would scream and their hair would stand straight up. I remember watching it and laughing so hard I couldn't breathe! My husband thinks I'm nuts, but I remember it. Does anyone know what I'm talking about?

A great show it was, the start for many careers.

SCTV was my favorite. And I remember the skit that you are talking about. Seeing Dave Thomas' hair standing straight up was hillarious. I checked the internet, but the only reference that I found mentioned a program from 1984 called "The New Show" that starred a lot of the SCTV players. Maybe that's where I saw the "hair raising" skit.

I don't remember that particular skit, but I do remember SCTV.

YEARS ago, when I was in college in Erie PA, I had a small portable TV in my room that had rabbit ears. No completely wired dorm rooms in THOSE days.
One of the few stations that I got was a station from Ontario that carried SCTV on Saturday nights. (I believe? )

When I saw My Big Fat Greek Wedding, as soon as I saw Andrea Martin, I said "SCTV!"

I also remember watching Mary Hartman, Mary Hartman.

Good memories for me. I loved my college years...

Don't remember that skit. My favorites were Rick Moranis as Andy Griffith and Eugene Levy as Floyd the barber. Also when Andrea Martin was Indira Ghandi doing a spoof of "Evita".

I loved SCTV as well.. it was a very late night staple for me as well.

I don't remember that skit either.

And yes, I saw Andrea Marton on Greek Wedding, and I said to my DH.. that s SCTV!

And did you know Mia (the star of Greek Wedding).. was on a more recent SCTV?

The Doug and Bob Mackenzie brothers skits were always hilarious. Eugene Levy is a genius.

Sorry for the late reply

I am so glad someone remembers that skit!! Now my husband won't think I'm so crazy! I can say Krisu and Towncrier remember it too! I did similar searches last night, but couldn't come up with that skit anywhere!

Oh well..at least I didn't dream it

I loved SCTV.
I don't remember that skit though.
My favorite skit was "Half Wits" - a spoof on "Jeopardy." My sister and I still quote it to this day.
