Cat Out of the Bag Alert!  This review contains spoilers for this episode!

Synopsis: The comedy series spoofs The Godfather with an epic tale in which SCTV head Guy Caballero (Joe Flaherty) finds himself at war with the other networks.

Cat Burglar (Scene Stealer): In a classic scene parodying the original movie, Floyd the barber (Eugene Levy) meets with Guy the day of the wedding and asks him to take revenge on Opie and the thugs who broke his barber pole. As the camera cuts to Guy we see he is holding a very restless white cat. He struggles with the cat for a moment before letting it jump down.

Final Mewsings: Cats don’t like listening to slow-talking barbers.

Many thanks to Ted Davis for reminding us of this classic TV moment!
