Coming to SCTV: Taxi Driver with Woody Allen!
5 August 2017
If you love satire comedy, you will love SCTV with this marvelous cast including John Candy, Andrea Martin, Catherine O'Hara, Joe Flaherty, Dave Thomas, Rick Moranis, Harold Ramis and more. This sketch comedy series rivaled "Saturday Night Live" and was just as good maybe even better. Second City in Chicago, Illinois is still a force to be reckon with today in the theater circuit. Many of Saturday Night Live famous alums and others have begun their comedic careers at Second City. This show was the late seventies and covers many of the issues and topics today. Perhaps most of today's audience's wouldn't understand unless they know the culture and history. Satire like "Taxi Driver" with Woody Allen or Gregory Peck in the Robert DeNiro roles is a classic. The "Howard and Melvins" promos include Howard Hughes, Howard Cosell and the Melvins. It's classic comedy from the late seventies.
