Second City Television Season 2 Episode 5

Something of a sequel to the first episode as Ernest Kirsch, SCTV writer, goes on strike, disrupting regular programming. At SCTV News, Floyd and Earl are forced to write their own copy. Caballero (still in a wheelchair with a phone) starts a tradition of giving speeches to the camera – as the show progressed, he would become more and more verbose, but here he’s brief and to the point.

Episode Title: Writer's Strike
