Thanks for the recommendation.

We used to watch the CBC on channel 9 out of Windsor when I was a kid.

One of my favorite shows was This is the Law ⚖️



They had a panelist that was really funny with a dry sense of humor .. Hart Pomerantz ..

I just recently learned that Hart Pomerantz was part of a Comedy team:

Hart & Lorne

Lorne was Lorne Michaels who went on to create a little show I like to call..

Saturday Night Live

I remember this 'Leave it to Beaver' skit just killed me when I first saw it..



SCTV was always my favorite over SNL. Although I since came to realize that, as with the Lorne Michaels backstory above, they came from the same comedy tree 🧬

Martin Short to the best of my recollection is the only one in the cast of both Saturday Night Live and SCTV 🇨🇦

rings truer to small town life than they could have imagined.

I think that Martin Short was the only one in both. And now he is in "Only Murders in the Building" which is great.
