It looks like a new generation of television viewers may be introduced to Bob and Doug MacKenzie. The creations of SCTV alumni Rick Moranis and Dave Thomas have a new, animated life that will be broadcast on the Fox network.

Bob and Doug are two beer-swilling, touque-wearing Canadians who hosted their own show (a show-within-a-show on SCTV) called "The Great White North" (and originally called "Kanadian Korner"). They were created in 1980 as a result of a network request for more Canadian content on SCTV. The characters proved so successful that they subsequently released two albums based on the characters and the movie Strange Brew.
