Help me find the lost SCTV episode featuring The Cisco Kid.
A dear friend has raved about an SCTV episode in which they spoofed The Cisco Kid. He says they pulled the episode because SCTV neglected to get the rights to re-broadcast the The Cisco Kid, and it has grown in his memory to be the funniest thing EVAR.
I'm thinking it would make a nice holiday gift for a great human being, does anyone know where I could lay my hands on a copy?

If it was going to be legitimately released anywhere, it would be on the new Best of the Early Years set, and it looks like it isn't. Rights issues, presumably.

Holy cow - I barely remember this from seeing it in a sleep-deprived state at 1:00am when I was in high school.
There is an SCTV book by Dave Thomas. Might be a good place to start in terms of finding names of people who might have access to it.

Joe Flaherty used to post to the alt.tv.sctv group, too.
Anyway, here's a thread about that skit and the ownership of the season (and hence legal hurdles). Anyway, it is in Season 3 (25th episode, episode 77 overall).
Sadly it does not look like it appears on Best of the Early Years.

Response by poster: Thanks, kingfisher. From that info it looks like the Library of Congress has it here. Hmmm, now what....
