Anyone remember a skit on SCTV with Ric Moranis playing a VJ..He played 2 videos. One was a Japanese band called The Plastics and the other was Talking Heads..There was another with John Candy featuring The Plasmatics...

SCTV, yeah - that was pretty cool back in the day... watched it religiously back in the 70's (beat the hell out of other Canadian programming of the time - like 'The Beachcombers'... although 'Kids In The Hall' would come 'round in the '90s and permanentl

"Rockin'" Mel Slurp on Mel's Rock Pile!
The Fishin' Musician with Gil Fisher (John Candy, he had The Plasmatics and The Tubes on).
The Rick Moranis character was Jerry someone, "On The New Wave Length".

Thought I was the only person on the planet, to know who the Plastics were, let alone know of the awsome SCTV appearance. I have it and the Talking Heads. Man oh man.

Wow, I'd seen a ton 'O SCTV episodes back in my early teens but I don't recall the aformentioned ones. I'd just recently discovered that there is a dvd compilation.

The latest SCTV DVD box (Vol. 2) includes the Rick Moranis/Plastics/Talking Heads skit, as well as the "To Sir, With Love" parody with the Boomtown Rats. Kinda pricey, but well worth it. I never missed an episode, back in the 70s and 80s.
