RX_Sith Title: C&G Game Host Registered: Mar '06	Date Posted: 7/14/06 5:57am Subject: RE: TV Variety Shows: (Now Discussing "In Living Color")
	This time I will discuss the variety show that feature the Wayans and was also produced by Keenan Ivory Wayans. In Living Color In Living Color was the brainchild of Keenen Ivory Wayans, the eldest sibling of a large and extremely talented family whose guidance toward his brothers and sisters would help shape his creation into something truly memorable, the likes of which had never been seen prior on US television. In 1989, Keenen set about making a pilot episode for something he knew was going to be different. It wasn't just going to be a show performed by black people for black people but was to be a multi-ethnic series. Using this as his basis he recruited two white actors who were fairly unknown at the time - James Carrey (now known as Jim) and Kelly Coffield. In addition, the show introduced more upcoming talent, in the form of Tommy Davidson, Kim Coles, David Alan Grier, T'keyah "Crystal" Keymah and finally his siblings Kim Wayans and Damon Wayans. The cast was formed and the pilot was filmed. Things went quiet for a while until word of mouth spread about this amazing new show that dared to be different and one year later FOX television picked it up. In Spring 1990 In Living Color premiered on prime-time television and became a smash sensation overnight. It's easy to consider In Living Color as being a groundbreaking show, so truthful in that its approach to many issues attributed to its huge success in America, thanks in part to the cast's delivery. Keenen Ivory Wayans has always been passionate about dealing with current world issues, states of affairs and how every man or woman is treated in the world today, no matter the colour of their skin. It wasn't until it first aired that people got a taste of what Keenen and his crew were trying to achieve. By being let loose to run wild and bring their separate talents to the screen, improvising and bringing fresh, new lovable characters along the way they would help to get the message across to a wide audience in a no-holds barred satire that defied the set conventions of most TV shows being produced. Saturday Night Live was their only main contender but the advantage of In Living Color being videotaped meant that they had more freedom to get away with whatever they liked, Keenen would later deal with the censors and the show would air without much outside intervention. They simply didn't care about what the critics or public would think. If the show was deemed offensive then it was simply misunderstood, such has been the case for many a satirical show finding itself under fire. However, In Living Color was embraced whole heartedly and after the first season's run (13 episodes) it had become a phenomenon. Characters such as Damon's Homey the Clown, Carrey's Vera De Milo and again Damon's Anton to name but a few stayed in the public's mind. Season 2 would follow in the fall of that same year, such was popular demand. From episode one it was clear to see that this cast had an amazing chemistry and it stuck all the way. Audiences fell in love with James Carrey and Damon Wayans, both of whom would later go on to achieve massive success in their careers ahead. The show paved the way for new talent and those who love Carrey, the Wayans brothers and co today may have missed out on their earlier work. The series was aired in the UK courtesy of Sky One back in the early 90's but few actually remember the show following its relegation to post midnight slots. Popular Recurring Sketches •Homey D. Clown (Damon Wayans) - A convict who works as a clown for his parole agreement, but violently lashes out at any attempt to make him perform the standard antics of the role. - "I don't think so...Homie don't play that!" •The Buttmans - A family modeled after The Cosby Show characters, only they have buttocks on their foreheads. •Fire Marshall Bill (Jim Carrey) - A Fire Marshall with a manic grin whose safety advisories usually cause the very disaster he was warning against. •Men on Film (Damon Wayans, David Alan Grier) - In this parody of Siskel & Ebert, a pair of extremely effeminate gay men review films in their own distinctive way. - "Three snaps in Z formation, the ZORRO! snap." Trivia for In Living Color •Homie D. Clown's real name is Herman Simpson. •The show earned instant credibility by making fun of whites, blacks, Asians, gays, straights, you name it. •The Wayans family left the show in the middle of the 1992-93 season after a dispute with Fox over repeats, and the show muddled through for one more season, managing even without its founder to hit more than miss. •For the first few episodes, an exotic In Living Color logo, different from what we see today in reruns, was used. After the band Living Color threatened to sue because they claimed the show stole the logo from them, the show changed the logo, which would remain for the next two years. However, on the "In Living Color Season 1" DVD, after the second Fly Girls performance, you can see the old logo flash right before the commercial break. •The dance troop on this show was called The Fly Girls. In the third season of production, Jennifer Lopez, now a famous actress and pop singer, was cast as one of the Fly Girls. Discuss. -----signature----- Chief of Staff - The SWC Rebel Scum

	I think this was the first sketch comedy show I watched regularly, back in 6th grade or so. It certainly did introduce a lot of talent. Aside from the ones you mentioned, Jamie Foxx was on the show. Never would have guessed that he'd be considered a major talent 15 years later. My favorite bits usually involved Damon: Homie, the homeless guy, Handiman, Men On Film. There was a Foxx/Davidson sketch where they play a Laurel & Hardy-style lovable loser duo that I liked. David Alan Grier did a great bluesman impersonation. Chris Rock occasionally showed up with a good cheapskate bit. In the last season or so, there was a bit where this tubby guy would be hired to play songs for a happy event and sing depressing lyrics. I haven't seen the show for ages. I wonder if they still hold up. -----signature----- I had all bases covered. I had the Hulkamaniacs watching DiBiase. I had Virgil in his place.

	I've only seen isolated shows in reruns, but from what I've seen, it was funny, and Wayans obviously had an eye for talent.

	Another thing this show did was give some hip-hop artists some mainstream exposure. Much like Dave Chappelle did on his show, there was sometimes a musical guest at the end to lead into the credits. I used to love this show and it was definitely a refreshing change from SNL which was in one of its stale periods (which seems to be more and more the case lately). I remember the Milli Vanilli skit they did once that scandal hit. Hilarious. -----signature----- Greenville, NC - http://www.emeraldcityempire.com

	This time I will discuss the best known variety show from Canada. Second City Television (SCTV) Tagline: Don't touch that dial! Don't touch that one either! And stop touching yourself! SCTV is on the air! The show's original cast included: John Candy (1976–79, 1981–83) Joe Flaherty (1976–84) Eugene Levy (1976–84) Andrea Martin (1976–84) Catherine O'Hara (1976–79, 1981–82) Harold Ramis (1976–78) Dave Thomas (1976–82) Many of them had previously been regulars on The David Steinberg Show. All of the original featured cast went on to successful careers in American film and television. Rick Moranis (1980–82), Tony Rosato (1980–81) and Robin Duke (1980–81) joined the cast for Season 3 to replace Candy and O'Hara. Rosato and Duke were called upon by Dick Ebersol to help fix Saturday Night Live in the spring of 1981, while Candy and O'Hara returned for SCTV's network debut on NBC. Martin Short (1982–84) joined the cast at the tail-end of Season 4 to replace Thomas and Moranis, while John Hemphill and Mary Charlotte Wilcox (now an Anglican priest in Edmonton, Alberta), though never full cast members, appeared regularly through Seasons 5 and 6. History SCTV first aired as a half-hour show on Global in Canada, starting in 1976, for two seasons. In 1980, after a one year hiatus, the show moved to the CBC for its third season. The first three seasons also aired in syndication in the United States starting in 1977. In 1981, it was picked up as a 90 minute show by NBC as a mid-season replacement (for The Midnight Special), airing first as SCTV Network 90, then as SCTV. During its network run, the show garnered 15 Emmy nominations, winning two (both for outstanding writing in a variety or music program). The show continued to air on the CBC in Canada as a full hour, compiled from the NBC shows. In the fall of 1983, for its final season, the show moved to pay-TV channels Superchannel in Canada and Cinemax in the United States, changing the name slightly to SCTV Channel. Premise The basic premise of SCTV is that it is the television station for the city of Melonville. Rather than broadcast the usual TV rerun fare, the business, run by the greedy Guy Caballero (Joe Flaherty) who sits in a wheelchair only to gain sympathy and leverage in business and staff negotiations, puts on a bizarre and humorously incompetent range of cheap local programming. This can range from a soap opera called "The Days of the Week", to game shows like "Shoot the Stars", in which celebrities are literally shot at like targets in a shooting gallery, to full blown movie spoofs like "Play it Again, Bob" in which Woody Allen (Moranis) tries to get Bob Hope (Thomas) to star in his next film. In-house media melodrama was also satirised with characters like Candy's vain, bloated variety star Johnny La Rue, Thomas' acerbic critic Bill Needle and Martin's flamboyant, leopard-skin clad station manager Mrs. Edith Prickley. See also UHF, a movie which used a similar premise to SCTV, but without the sketch comedy. Laugh Track One other point of contention between SCTV and several different networks they were on was the use of laugh tracks. As SCTV wasn't a live show, it paced its comedy accordingly, and several pieces were more outré than standard network fare. The use of a laugh track often stepped clumsily on the punchlines as a result, and there are some reports that the laugh track editor admitted to not getting SCTV's humor and just threw laughs in wherever they would fit. Syndication/Music Rights For years, SCTV was unavailable on video tape or in any form except by reedited half hour programs. This is because the producers and editors putting the original shows together never bothered to get clearance to use copyrighted music—for example, the "Fishin' Musician" show ended with Bing Crosby singing "Gone Fishin'", even though SCTV never got the rights to use the music or performance. As a result, the shows couldn't be reproduced on DVD or video tape until after the laborious rights issues were resolved and clearances were received. In some cases (as with the aforementioned Crosby song) clearances couldn't be secured after the fact and new music had to be edited in its place for the 2005 DVD releases of the 90-minute shows. In a few cases ("Stairways to Heaven" and "The Canadian National Anthem") where the music is intrinsic to the premise of the sketch and rights could not be obtained, sketches have been dropped from the DVDs. Significance SCTV initially adapted its comedy from existing sketches and improvisation from the Second City stage show. However, especially after expanding to a ninety minute format, SCTV quickly pushed the envelope on television sketch comedy. While showing some influence from Monty Python's Flying Circus and Saturday Night Live, SCTV eschewed either the live television format or even filming before a live studio audience. As a result, far more attention and care could be taken in building a premise and supporting it. Having a moderately low budget and limited resources (the most fertile years of the show's production occurred in Edmonton, Alberta, which saved on money but lacked a lot of the resources available in larger cities or more traditional production venues), SCTV got a reputation for making the most out of what it had, reusing sets and particularly taking advantage of makeup and prosthetic devices in the creation of characters. With the luxury of being able to take long periods of time in the makeup chair, elaborate characters could be built. Cast members credited their makeup artists as having helped create their characters, referring to the process in interviews as "improvisation in the chair." To add to the feel of the show—which after all was supposed to be a low budget local television station that went national—the SCTV crew recruited their dance troupe from the writers on the show, led by costumer Juul Haalmeyer. The "Juul Haalmeyer Dancers" were spectacularly inept, parodying dance teams on variety shows through their sheer ineptness, and ultimately attracting a cult fandom of their own. (Juul Haalmeyer himself reports still being asked for autographs years later.) The core premise of the show allowed for tremendous variety in presentation, but unlike Monty Python, which often would cut from one sketch to another without any resolution, the SCTV format required television style bridges. One technique they used was to build premises into "promos" for shows that would never run (such as "Melvin and Howards," a parody of the movie Melvin and Howard which featured Melvin Dummar, Howard Hughes, Howard Cosell, Curly Howard and others on a road trip singing old tunes). Another was to take longer pieces that failed and cut them into promos or trailers. However, the internal logic of the series—that this actually was a television station producing low budget programming—was never lost. SCTV's techniques helped inform and influence later shows, with clear influence on The State, the Upright Citizen's Brigade, and The Kids in the Hall. Later shows built a tight theme, sometimes acting as a metaparody—as in the Emmy-winning "Moral Majority" episode where advertisers and special interest groups forced significant changes to SCTV’s programming, "Zontar" (a parody of the John Agar film Zontar, Thing from Venus) which featured an alien race seeking to kidnap SCTV’s on air talent for "a nine show cycle plus three best-ofs" (which was the actual deal NBC worked out with SCTV that season), and an ambitious parody of The Godfather featuring an all out network war over pay television between SCTV, CBS, NBC, ABC and PBS. (The last featured mafia style hits on the sets of The Today Show, Three's Company and The NFL Today, as well as an extended sequence with guest star John Marley reprising his Godfather role.) While these shows continued to incorporate the broad range of television parodies the show was known for, they also had a strong narrative thread which set the show apart from other sketch comedy shows of the time.

	Knew nothing about SCTV when I was young until I saw "Strange Brew" and heard "Take Off!" with the McKenzie Brothers and Geddy Lee from Rush. I picked up the "Great White North" comedy album because of it. A friend of my mom told me about how they were on SCTV and he had a bunch of them taped. I pretty much just scanned through them though, looking for Great White North sketches, so I can't really comment on the complete show. But I still find "Strange Brew" to be one of the most hilarious movies I've seen. It's definitely an acquired taste, but I liked it. Take off you hosers! Eh! -----signature----- Greenville, NC - http://www.emeraldcityempire.com

	The Mackenzies rule ,eh,and don't forget the donuts and the tukes..... The New Years Eve 1984 episode is sheer brilliance. The SCTV troupe was the birthplace of a lot of the talent for Saturday Night Live as well. Belushi,Ackroyd, and I think Mike Meyers all went from SCTV to SNL.

	I've loved this show since I first saw it on Nick At Night in the late eighties/early nineties. I got all the DVD box sets currently available,and there's supposed to be another one coming out soon,Best of The Early Years,which is supposed to be a compilation of pre-Network 90 material.

	This time I will discuss a variety show that was shown on Nickelodean from August 15,1992 until January 27,1996. "Roadhouse" Roundhouse is a show that's hard to describe. The best way to explain it is to say that it was Saturday Night Live meets the Mickey Mouse Club--something that the entire family could enjoy. Roundhouse was filled with comical skits that used no real sets and cheap props (on purpose). The cast was made up of actors and actresses that were also extremely talented at singing and dancing. The lyrics to the theme song are as follows: Whenever my life keeps so down I know I can go down (down, down, down) To where the music and the fun never ends As long as that music keeps playing You know what I'm saying I know that I can find a friend... Down at the Roundhouse! In 1993, the entire cast won a Young Artist Award for their outstanding work on the series. Cast and Crew Natasha Pearce Herself (Season 4) John Crane Himself Julene Renee Herself Bryan Anthony Himself (Season 4) Mark David Himself David Sidoni Himself Alfred Carr, Jr. Himself Shawn Daywalt Herself Ivan Dudynsky Himself Micki Duran Herself Discuss. -----signature----- Chief of Staff - The SWC Rebel Scum
