Re: Harold Ramis RIP
The initial few series of SCTV were shot in Toronto, at the Global Network's studio at 21 Barber Greene Road. I used to see the performers hanging out for dinners together, most often at Mr. Greenjeans. (Not at its current location (or even state of food), I think it was on Adelaide in the 1970s). I...

Re: Lost Keaton
I think I noticed one blooper on the set: In the stills section there is a photo of Myra Keaton that is identified as coming from Palooka from Paducah. I think the still is actually from Myra's appearance in Way up Thar. It might actually be the same dress in the closing scenes from both films but I...
