• SCTV Network 90: Volume One, courtesy Shout! Factory
Journey back with us to those glorious days of yesteryear, when a band of crazed
Second City alumni started their pseudo-television network. One can argue the
characters created by John Candy, Joe Flaherty, Andrea Martin, Harold Ramis,
Martin Short, Rick Moranis, and Dave Thomas rivaled if not surpassed their
Saturday Night Live counterparts. Two lucky winners will each receive a
copy of SCTV Network 90: Volume One, courtesy of our friends at Shout!
Factory.
• Eddie Presley: Two-Disc Special Edition, courtesy Tempe Video
When a down on his luck Elvis impersonator is offered a comeback gig at a seedy
Hollywood nightclub and proceeds to have a nervous breakdown on stage, the
audience is given a performance they will never forget. Five winners will each
receive a copy of Eddie Presley: Two-Disc Special Edition, courtesy of
the hound dogs at Tempe DVD.
• Northern Exposure: The Complete First Season, courtesy Universal
Cocky young doctor Joel Fleischman is expecting a cushy assignment in Alaska's
largest metropolis and winds up as the resident physician in the small, quirky,
character filled hamlet of Cicely. Two lucky patients will be treated with
copies of Northern Exposure: The Complete First Season, courtesy of
Universal Studios.
• Saturday Night Live: Biography, courtesy A&E
In 1975, producer Lorne Michaels pulled together a diverse group of improvisers
and debuted a late night sketch comedy series for NBC called Saturday Night
Live...and the rest, as they say, is history. A&E's Biography details the
rise, fall, and rebirth of America's longest running comedy series. Two lucky
winners will each receive a copy of Saturday Night Live: Biography,
courtesy of our funny friends at A&E Home Video.
• Winsor McCay: The Master Edition, courtesy Milestone Films
The first master of animation, Winsor McCay, created a pantheon of beloved
characters including Little Nemo, Flip, Impie, and Gertie the Dinosaur. His
beautiful and hilarious illustrations are brought to life in this collection of
charming, moving, surreal, and bizarre animated shorts. One winner will receive
a copy of Winsor McCay: The Master Edition, courtesy of our cartoonish
companions at Milestone Films.
• SCTV Preview Disc, courtesy Shout! Factory
