Second City Television
Second City Television, commonly shortened to SCTV, is a Canadian television sketch comedy show that ran between 1976 and 1984. It was created as an offshoot from Toronto's Second City troupe. The premise of the show is the broadcast day of a fictitious TV station (later network) in the town of Melonville. The location of Melonville is left unspecified; the very earliest episodes imply it's somewhere in Canada, though most later episodes place it in the US. A typical episode of SCTV presents a compendium of programming seen on the station throughout its broadcast day. A given episode could contain anything from SCTV news broadcasts to sitcoms, dramas, movies, talk shows, kid shows, commercial send-ups hawking non-existent products, and game shows.
SCTV (Indonesia)
Surya Citra Televisi (SCTV) is Indonesia's second privately owned television network. It is broadcast nationwide on UHF and is able to be received throughout the Indonesian archipelago on analog PAL television sets. SCTV began broadcasting on August 24, 1990, in Surabaya, East Java as Surabaya Centra Televisi, broadcasting to the city and the surrounding area. At first, the programming was similar to that of RCTI, using some of their news programs until they could produce their own. On August 1, 1993, SCTV obtained a national license and eventually moved its operations to Jakarta, changing its name to Surya Citra Televisi.
Racking Horse
The Racking Horse is a horse breed derived from the Tennessee Walking Horse, recognized by the USDA in 1971. It is known for a distinctive singlefoot gait. In 1971, the Racking Horse Breeders' Association of America, headquartered in Decatur, Alabama, was formed as the breed registry. Its goal is to preserve the breed in a natural state with little or no artificial devices that enhance gait. The horse's tail is naturally raised without nicking or tail sets. Some classes allow special shoes that enhance action, and a relatively newer class allows the use of chains, six ounces and under as action devices.
Floyd Robertson
Floyd Robertson is a fictional news anchor and reporter, portrayed by Joe Flaherty on the Canadian sketch comedy series "SCTV" in the 1970s and 1980s. He was a co-anchor, with Earl Camembert (another fictional newscaster, played by Eugene Levy), of the "SCTV News". In addition, he doubled as the long-running horror host Count Floyd on "Monster Chiller Horror Theatre". Floyd Robertson's name was originally derived from that of CBC news anchor Lloyd Robertson. Shortly after Floyd Robertson debuted, Lloyd Robertson changed networks, and became the longtime "CTV National News" anchor. Other than the name and occupation, the character shares no real similarities with the Canadian news anchor.
Catherine O'Hara
Catherine Anne O'Hara (born March 4, 1954) is a Canadian-American actress, writer, and comedian. She first drew notice as an actress in 1974 as a member of The Second City improvisational comedy troupe in Toronto. She landed her first significant television role in 1975 starring opposite John Candy and Dan Aykroyd in the main cast of the Canadian sitcom "Coming Up Rosie" (1975-1978). The following year she and Candy began work on "Second City Television" (1976–84) where she drew acclaim for both her work as a comedic actress and writer, notably winning a Primetime Emmy Award for Outstanding Writing for a Variety Series in 1981.
Earl Camembert
Earl Camembert (pronounced "Canen-bare") is a fictional news reporter and anchorman portrayed by Eugene Levy on the Canadian sketch comedy show "SCTV", which aired in the 1970s and 1980s. Camembert, named after Canadian broadcaster Earl Cameron and after camembert cheese, was actually modelled more closely as a parody of Buffalo, New York newscaster Irv Weinstein (both Weinstein and Levy were Jewish and lived in the Buffalo Niagara Region most of their lives). He was a recurring character alongside Joe Flaherty's character of Floyd Robertson; the two co-anchored the SCTV Network's "SCTV News" program.
