SCTV, 11/5/82: "GARTH AND GORD AND FIONA AND ALICE"

[mje2k]

Thanks to great Canadian Beer I have had a snootful many times in Toronto many times but never a pot full or a pot of gold.

This NEVER gets old. I've seen the original and the sentiment is right on target. I am a Canadian Maritimer and there are still lots of guys like these two who still have these dreams. I have known and still know several. Thanks for the posting.

I love it at the end..."Jobs, jobs, jobs!"

[Sue71]

LOL! Gotta love the 8 track tapes on the dashboard!!

"Doctoring jobs and lawyering jobs, jobs for me and you!" After seeing this classic parody I had to find a copy of "Goin Down The Road." It took some doing, but fortunately I was able to find one.

There's a rainbow in Toronto where the maritimers are bold. They always get a potfull-but they never get a pot of gold.

I love John Candy with his goofy Pete McGraw grin.

I haven't seen that in over 20 years. Ah Yonge St in the early eighties!

"it's dead.... OOOOOOOAAAAAAAH"

It was nice to see a glimpse of "the mistake by the lake"... Exhibition Stadium

Thanks for posting

@Rebelrider2460 Where was the glimpse of Exhibition Stadium? I missed it.

[Rebelrider24601]

@ter521fad You can find the "Mistake by the Lake" at the end on 11:18 to the left of the screen...It looks like a parking structure. My guess is the camera was situated on the western most bridge linking the CNE with Ontario place. The car is driving west-bound on Lakeshore Blvd.

[offmodel1973]

Wow, that was really filmed at the Maritime General Hospital too!

[chicobear]

Classic. A film by Canadians for Canadians produced by Americans. I live in Toronto, and Yonge St. has changed a lot since then but Yonge St. is still Yonge St.

those 12 mins contain more laughs than every adam sandler picture.

[chardman1]

I had no idea until today that this was a parody of an actual Canadian movie (Goin' Down the Road - 1970). I had always that it was more or less a send-up of typical Canadian films

Thank so much for sharing this! Such a great bit.
