I grew up next to the Cuyahoga in the 1970s. It wasn’t the part that caught fire (which was in Cleveland) but I have no idea why not. The river was chock full of old tires, rusting oil and chemical barrels, and there was a sheen of oil (or god knows what) over everything. All the industries in the town along the river (which included and still includes the factory that makes that green foam shit florists stick flowers in) had giant pipes that emptied all their shit right into the river. People still used to fish there, which is just mind-boggling.
Funny I just watched the Kids in the Hall documentary the other day and they talk about Monty Python, but not SCTV at all, even saying that there was no sketch comedy between MP and KITH.

How did a GenX from Cleveland end up a KITH fan? I have to say, those guys taught me so much.
They were on HBO in the early '90s. They were basically Monty Python a generation later, and I don’t mean that as a slight in any way.
