This particular sketch is intended to be a Canadian television special sponsored by McKenzie Paper Towels which is a Canadian rip off of The Wizard of Oz. Jennifer (Gilda Radner) is the Dorothy character and instead of a dog named Toto she carries around a white Persian cat named Tinky.
Jennifer hits her head on the headboard of her bed after singing about someplace over the clouds to Tinky the cat.
When she wakes up the scene has switched to color and she meets the good munchkin fairy (Jane Curtain) who tells her to see The Incredible Man to get home. To do this
she must follow the yellow line in the snow.But The Incredible Man does help her (by clubbing her on the head with a two by four) and she wakes up in her room, happy to say there is no place like Saskatchewan.

— Interesting idea for a Wizard of Oz knockoff.
— The altered “Over the Rainbow” lyrics started out pretty funny, though the humor in the song died down after a while.
— Gilda making her Catatonic Colleen face after knocking herself dizzy on her bed’s backboard.
— Jane playing a character named Gilda. Heh.
— Good voice on Jane.

The knockoff version of the yellow brick road being “the yellow line in the snow” is hilarious.— At first glance, I almost thought that was Dan Aykroyd as the frozen hockey player. Must be his brother Peter. I still have a hard time recognizing him in sketches.
— Seeing as how this IS a sketch about Canadians, I guess Peter’s a natural for this. In fact, I wouldn’t be surprised to find out he’s the one who wrote this.
— Garrett’s role as a flying monkey has often been said to be the most demeaning role he has EVER gotten on the show, and is also said to be a perfect example of how poorly used he was this season.
— I liked Laraine’s “I didn’t even get out of the castle and I’m melting!!” line.
— Funny how the Incredible Man’s headquarters are a cheap mobile home.
— I just spotted a stagehand accidentally entering the shot.
— Incredible Man knocking Gilda out with a board while Gilda’s in the middle of doing the “no place like home” knockoff was pretty funny.
— Another blooper, where during the dream-ending screen transition, they mistakenly cut back to the snowy forest set briefly and you can see Peter Aykroyd getting out of character.
