	Second City Television
		Second City Television (SCTV) was a popular comedy television show originating from Canada that ran in the late 1970s and early 1980s in a variety of incarnations.
		In effect, SCTV was a cross between a spoof of television and a loose parodic soap opera about the running of the fictional Melonville television station.
		Further, this program, with its markedly satirical view of television and North American culture in general, is an important contribution to the notion that Canadian humour is ironic, self-deprecatory and parodic.
