The 1983-84 season of SCTV was its last…but it was my first! Season six aired bi-weekly on Superchannel in Canada, where I was first introduced to the show. One of our favourite sketches was “2009: Jupiter and Beyond”, the “authorized” sequel to Stanley Kubrick’s 2001.
Starring “Paul Simon” (Rick Moranis), “Art Garfunkel” (Joe Flaherty) and “Ernest Borgnine” (Eugene Levy)! Co-starring Irving Cohen and Idella Voudry (Martin Short and Mary Charlotte Wilcox)! Directed by Woody Tobias, Jr (also Levy). That pesky monolith is up to no good again! Or is it?
I guess you’ll just have to watch 2009: Jupiter and Beyond yourself to understand the riddle of the monolith.

Absolutely — I watched one last night with Eugene Levy, John Candy and special guest Robin Williams. What talent in that trio alone!

That was pretty good for the times. Such talent at SCTV. And just about all from Southern Ontario, except for Flaherty.
