SCTV Guide - After SCTV - Andrea Martin Together Again

Written by Andrea Martin and Mike Short, with special material by Dick Blasucci, Margaret Oberman and Catherine O'Hara. Directed by David Acomba. Featuring Edna Boil, Edith Prickley, Yolanda Devillbis and Dutch Leonard. Also features the return of Tex Boil and a brief appearance by Idella Voudry.

A pretty credible outing, all in all. Something of an Andrea Martin-centric episode of SCTV, featuring as it does many of her best characters, and good use of guest stars. And it's great to see Tex and Edna Boil back together again.

2 Andrea Martin A Celebration of Me I

Andrea's entrance to her own special, a celebration of the new her. Her friends, fellow inmates and therapy group (Idella Voudry, leader) are in the audience. She introduces her first guest, on tape, Dr August Allwoman, who helped Andrea recover from her breakdown.

3 Institute of Bold Movement

The doctor's technique is to expel tension through bold movement. Having read that Andrea had taken to her bed indefinitely, the doctor decided to intervene, and bring Andrea to his institute, bed and all. He eventually gets her on her feet (albeit still in bed), and then out of bed.
