Sports Bar (TV series)

Sports Bar is a sketch-comedy show that aired in first-run syndication  from 1997 to 1998. The series featured members of the Second City improvisational comedy troupe out of Chicago. This was the first television series since the end of SCTV in 1984, where creative control has been so firmly in the hands of the troupe. The Sports Bar was taped at WTTW's Chicago Production Center, who was a part owner of the program.

Format
The series follows the lives of the regulars at a sports bar, who serve as a leaping-off point for satirizing the world of sports, leisure and American culture as a whole. The TV sets in the bar allowed the show to offer up commercial parodies and snippets of newscasts.
