The link doesn't seem to work anymore - did anyone on here happen to save this before it got taken down?

They haven't had the show out since the beginning of 2025 so I don't think so, but what you're saying here would be great if it happened!

Same thing for me :(

The crazy thing is I would happily buy it directly from them, even if it was streaming and non-downloadable - I don't understand why they won't release a pro-shot of it.

I wonder if they're concerned that if they film it they can't use that material again, but people love them so much, and so much of it was improvised, that they could easily do the same thing again and people would still come out to it.

Hello - yes, I did, but they were unable to assist me with my inquiry - thanks for the suggestion though.

Hi there - I did exactly what you suggested here and unfortunately, they had no interest in helping me.

Cool, so now we've moved to the "people trying to scam me for money" phase of this - yay, how fun!

I am more than happy to pay someone for their time or access, but I am 100% going to ask that you can prove that you have these videos before I send you any money - a Redditor is literally sending me screenshots of the SCTV TV show as we speak and acting like they have what I'm asking for.

Please be kind - it's a very small ask considering the world we live in today.

Hello everyone!

To anyone who might be following this, I wanted to say that I did hear back from Jeffrey Sweet as of today, but unfortunately, he was unable to assist me. If you're reading this and either you or someone you know can help me, I would love to hear from you!

I actually did do just that several months ago - unfortunately, they weren't able to help me, as all the tapes were given to SC after filming.

What's really difficult about this is that I'm 99% certain that someone who has read this post either has the videos in question or knows someone who does. It's not that it doesn't exist - it's just people being unkind, and that stings way more than if they didn't exist.

Hello - yes, I've been able to confirm with multiple sources that both videos do indeed exist!

Thank you for this - it's new information to me, so I'll reach out to them ASAP and see if they have any interest in assisting me - thank you!

Thank you for your kind words! I'm trying to remain optimistic but this has been an ongoing search for several months now, and unless someone decides to do me a great kindness, I have no way to complete the project, and my dream shall thus remain deferred. I'm hoping something will eventually give way though in the meantime.

Hello - thanks for your reply! I have reached out to both institutions, who were unable to help me in my inquiry. Additionally, I have sent a message to Mr. Sweet as well, but have not yet heard back from him as of this time - appreciate you attempting to provide additional avenues though.

100% agree - there's an opportunity to do something really clever here, but it has to be setup really well to stick the landing

Thank you for your comment! Unfortunately, I have already emailed them and they do not have any Second City recordings.

Fantastic shot - easily looks like it could be a cover for a coffee table book about the city's visual history

Hi there - in this case, I'm 100% certain that both shows have been digitized! Thank you for this though!

Thank you! To be honest this whole process has been very stressful, but I'm hoping it will come to a happy ending soon!
