Various

Andrea Martin

Andrea Martin populated SCTV’s Melonville as championship sketch density — a fake television network where Second City Canada satirized the medium from inside the broadcast. John Candy, Catherine O’Hara, Eugene Levy, deep-cut characters, not just Hollywood alumni lore. TV Flash files her as 1970s satire that still out-writes the parodies.

Andrea Martin is a Melonville regular on SCTV, the fake network that let Second City Canada’s sharpest satirize television from inside the broadcast. Candy, O’Hara, Levy — writers’ sketch comedy at championship density. Various, on purpose: deep-cut characters, not a single mascot. She treats the medium as a job you can mock while doing it better. 1970s satire that still feels like a writers’ room with cameras. SCTV is a Global / Syndicated / NBC long game (1976–1984). Andrea is not pending a mid-run promotion; the hour already needs the work.

On-ramp: s01e01, filed as Backstage opens the fake television network. Second City Canada's sharpest already satirizing the medium from inside the broadcast: writers' sketch comedy, deep-cut characters, not. SCTV treats that hour as the open. Andrea is not a later garnish.

Keep s01e26 on the stack: Lust for Paint is a first-season named hour. Melonville craft at championship density: the local-affiliate parody still the joke, the troupe still the reason. If you want the last listed hour, s02e01 still reads Season 2 Premiere is the catalog's plain door. The fake network still expanding: Candy, O'Hara, Levy, Martin as a writers' room with faces, still. Position, not synopsis. Andrea does the weekly work while the poster sells something louder.

Hollywood alumni lore is the easy poster. On TV Flash Martin is the craft underneath — sketch as a network, characters as a city, the reason SCTV still photographs as television eating itself with taste. Do not flatten her into a filmography. The file is SCTV, 1976–1984, and the codes that still show the turn.
