When it comes to the history of the television show “SCTV,” a documentarian is going to need a lot more than 90 minutes to take it all in. Director Jason Hehir (“Andre the Giant”) doesn’t do himself any favors by making such a short movie, trying to pack in basically nine years of life into a single flow of information and interviews. “SCTV: The Greatest Show You’ve Never Heard Of” is a decent reminder of the sly comedic splendor the original series produced during its years of production, hitting viewers with intelligent writing and full commitment from the brilliant cast. Many of these actors reunite for parts of the feature, offering recollections and analysis of the program and its delightfully strange ways. Hehir catches the spirit here and there with “The Greatest Show You’ve Never Heard Of,” but the endeavor is not made for die-hard fans of “SCTV,” with lots of information missing or untouched, but there’s joy to be found when the documentary highlights incredible talent finding their way through a very special show.
