Sat Dec 18, 2021: I loved this show but

I can never find the Christmas episode when Johnny LaRue wanted a string of paloponies from Santa and ended up dead drunk in the gutter. R.I.P. John Candy.

No problem.

1. I haven't seen that in forever. Thanks for posting. N/t

2. SCTV was the best

My favorite was the much underrated Joe Flaherty as Count Floyd. I discovered it in my late teens accidentally on our local independent station when they were showing the original 30 minute shows. Early 80s IIRC.

3. And John Candy as Yorgi.
