Answers to 2 SCTV Fan questions
Q: Are there any plans to release the first year episodes in chronological order? The half hour episodes were some of the best.
A: I agree, and lots of fans have been asking for the release of the original episodes. Getting information about upcoming SCTV DVD releases has always proven difficult. It appears that after very robust sales of the first volume of DVDs, sales slowed for the subsequent volumes. The softish sales combined with the expense of obtaining music rights for many of the sketches combined with a less-than-stellar economy leads me to believe that we won't be seeing additional DVDs anytime soon. Here's the further negative scoop from Shout! Factory DVD producer Brian Ward:
"There is a HUGE issue with releasing these episodes. For starters, music licensing is an absolute nightmare. When they were producing the series, they never even thought twice about including super-expensive music, never once thinking about the repercussions of syndicating the series in the U.S. or--gasp--releasing them later on home video! Knowing that the fans would be ticked if we replaced music, we've had to regretfully admit that we cannot release the early years beyond what we already have.
Secondly, as most fans of the show will attest, much of those early episodes are included in the show's first season, but combined to create the longer format. Most of the sketches are there, so we'd be essentially re-hashing a set we've already released.
The ones I'd be most excited about are the later seasons, once they left network television. We're not saying it's not possible, but we have no immediate plans for future sets. Still, Dave Thomas recently announced and presented a quick teaser trailer for his and Rick Moranis' new animated series for the McKenzie brothers, so who knows??"
At the moment, we can enjoy several Series 2 and 3 episodes on The Best Of The Early Years

SCTV Cast Updates
For those of you who have been visiting SCTV.org over the years, I apologize for the infrequency of the cast updates. Those updates will now be available on a regular basis on this blog! As always, if you have news to share with fellow SCTV fans about the cast, please let me know (chris@sctv.org).
CATHERINE O'HARA
Ms. O'Hara is as busy as ever, with 5 upcoming projects. Among them are:
Temple Grandin with Claire Danes, Julia Ormond, and David Strathairn
Away We Go, directed by Sam Mendes
Voice work in Where the Wild Things Are, a Spike Jonze adaptation of the classic Maurice Sendak children's book.
EUGENE LEVY
Only Mr. Levy's career can span from Bobby Bittman to Albert Einstein!! Look for SCTV's comic genius as the genius genius in the May 2009 release Night at the Museum: Battle of the Smithsonian.
ANDREA MARTIN
A woman of many talents, Ms. Martin joined the cast of Eugene Ionesco's "Exit the King" in January. The Broadway run begins in March.
