I enjoy SCTV and that kind of humor. When I think about it, it's The Bob and Ray Show. Listening to their Radio show is better in a way. You need to use your imagination about the set and how the characters look. They could take you anyplace. I wonder how much of their work was improvised?
I didn't care for the radio sitcoms nearly as much, Jack Benny or Burns and Allen. The situation was fairly predictable but with Bob and Ray I could never predict what would happen next. And they never seemed to make each other laugh and break character.
They would close with "remember to write if you get work" and something about hanging by your thumbs.
