List of SCTV episodes

The following is a list of episodes for the television series Second City Television (SCTV).

Season 1

Aired on Global

"Season 1" is actually produced in two distinct 13-episode blocks, over a fifteen month period. The cast consists of John Candy, Joe Flaherty, Eugene Levy, Andrea Martin, Catherine O'Hara, Harold Ramis, and Dave Thomas. All are also listed as writers (except Martin and O'Hara on the initial broadcasts of the first four episodes -- this was later corrected on syndicated prints), with Ramis as head writer.

Season 2

Aired on Global

After a nine-month break, the show returns for Season 2. The cast consists of John Candy, Joe Flaherty, Eugene Levy, Andrea Martin, Catherine O'Hara, and Dave Thomas. Harold Ramis also returns, but only appears in the first and third episodes of the season. He remains as head writer until close to the end of the season.

Season 3

Aired on CBC

After a year-and-a-half, SCTV returns for season three. Returning cast members are Joe Flaherty, Eugene Levy, Andrea Martin, and Dave Thomas; they are joined by new cast members Robin Duke, Rick Moranis, and Tony Rosato. (John Candy and Catherine O'Hara were not in the cast this year, but would return.) Although they appear in every episode, Levy and Andrea Martin film all their sketches and scenes on a "part-time" basis.

Season 4

Aired on CBC (Canada), NBC (U.S.)

Only two months after season 3 ends, season 4 starts. Tony Rosato and Robin Duke both leave the show to be cast members on Saturday Night Live, which was infamously doing poorly with critics and in the ratings at that time, so much so that NBC actually started airing SCTV (named SCTV Network 90) as a possible replacement for SNL. John Candy and Catherine O'Hara rejoin the cast, and Eugene Levy and Andrea Martin return to doing the show full-time.

The cast now consists of John Candy, Joe Flaherty, Eugene Levy, Andrea Martin, Rick Moranis, Catherine O'Hara, and Dave Thomas. Many of the early season 4 episodes contain rerun sketches from seasons one to three. Former cast members Harold Ramis, Tony Rosato and Robin Duke can sometimes be seen in these sketches, but are uncredited.

For the final three episodes of the season, Martin Short (who first appeared on the "Cisco Kid" episode in season three) is added to the cast.
