Odd bit of information about Wayne & Schuster

They were an iconic comedy team for Canadians of a certain age, despite which as far as I can tell [1], only one DVD's worth of the their material has ever been released. It can't be that they are too dated: I've seen TOPPER episodes on DVD.

1: I was looking for the exact wording on "Don't worry. It's just a bunch of crazies who believe in only one
god. They're just this far away from atheism."

In my experience "TV series played for no discernable reason" generally means that it was cheap or if in Canada, that it satisfied CanCon requirements.

Ah yes, the reason I heard Anne Murray over and over on CKLW.
