Is anyone awayre that the "Nick Arpeggio" skits on SCTV was a send-up of Johnny Staccatto? Joe Flaherty (I think it was him) played the jazz-musician-detective who was often too stoned-out from "reefer" to solve crimes. It was pretty funny.
shareYes, I do remember the Vic (not Nick) Arpeggio skits on SCTV, and IIRC, he was just inept at his new job, as opposed to stoned (he didn't smoke reefer because he was framed for smoking it when he didn't smoke it, thus losing his music job.)
shareAny combination of the words SCTV and John Cassavetes is a-ok in my book.
Is SCTV a word?
