Joe Flaherty: (on the fans that loved SCTV) You'd get letters from prisoners and try to figure out: "Who's this show appealing to?" I remember our first national review was in High Times and they said, "This is a great show to watch." And we thought, "Oh well, at least somebody's watching." (edit)

 Joe Flaherty Biography :: Hollywood.com   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-23)
The 1980-set series was a heartbreakingly realistic take on the American high school experience, and Flaherty added enjoyable comic relief as Harold Weir, an overbearing father of freak Lindsey and geek Sam, who employed prophet of doom parenting tactics in an effort to scare his remarkably well-adjusted children into behaving.
As with many of Flaherty's portrayals, Harold's seemingly two-dimensional wackiness was fortified by sympathetic, human underpinnings that the actor evinced through subtle and unexpected peeks below the surface.
Winning even more fans through this portrayal, Flaherty was missed on the small screen, and when he returned for the 2001 NBC summer series "Go Fish", viewers were happy to see the bizarre dad on their sets again.

The station's personnel included the owner Guy Caballero (Flaherty), the station manager, Moe Green (Ramis), to be replaced by Edith Prickley (Martin), whose sister Enda Boil (also Martin) advertised her Organ Emporium with husband Tex (Thomas), in a parody of cheap late-night commercials.
