      @@MTVCOPS Arguably so, though personally I like the tight knit cast of 86-89. I think they could have trimmed the cast back a little for 1990-91. With Lovitz and Dunn gone by 1990 the chemistry was thrown off by suddenly having Rock, Spade and Farley there along with Hooks and Jackson. Sometimes it worked but other times not. Carvey seemed to be demoted to Meyers sidekick when not playing Bush. Also Dennis Miller left. So the 1990-91 season was definitely the end of this era while the 1991-92 season would see the newer kids come into their own while struggling to be noticed in such a bloated cast

    The Gilda Tribute monologue is still one of my favorite moments in the history of the show. The news actually broke of her passing that afternoon and they had to scrap the monologue they’d spent all week working on and rewrite the new one on the fly. The dress rehearsal was only about 3hrs away when they initially heard.

    • @cammy85
      @cammy85 2 місяці тому +3

      I fon't think it was so much scrapped, but moved later in the episode. Later on, Steve Martin does a bit on home base about his good and bad sides, which I assume was going gto be in his monologue before this sad news broke.

    This is when the show was becoming appointment television again.
    I played in a band and missed the show live most weekends, so my mom would tape-it for me and I’d watch when I stumbled in at 3:00am. I was 18-19 years-old.
    P.S. In 1992, I moved to Seattle and met my wife. She had a cat named “Toonces” when we met. That cat lived until 20007. ☮️

    The May 20, 1989 one with Steve Martin was one of my favorite SNL episodes. It had such classics:
    Carvey's Bush Sr.
    Martin's touching monologue
    "Get to know me!!!"
    Ode of a Love
    Hanz and Franz
    The introduction of Toonces
    And then there's musical guest Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers in which I was introduced to the song "Running Down a Dream"

    Ah, Tales of Ribaldry. Jon Lovitz went with the classical English.

    One of the great skits of the Dolly episode is where she recounts the great stories her hillbilly grandparents would tell her as a child (because they had no tv) and they were all episodes of classic tv sitcoms.

    Off the Rick moranis hosted show, “The big bitch bulldyke bust out of 89” is quite possibly my favorite SNL sketch of all time.

    This was the first season I watched in full. I was in 5th grade and had recently gotten into hard rock/metal, so I really related to Wayne and Garth.

    Still enjoying this series. It was actually through Wayne's World that I was introduced to SNL. I was born in the 90s so I was raised on the two movies. I'm in the UK so SNL never aired over here. In the 2000s, I was just doing random research for Mike Myers and Wayne's World and I learned it was originally part of a certain live TV show broadcast from New York. I decided to buy the Best of Mike Myers DVD and the rest is history. Shame they didn't put out more DVDs than they did... As for the first sketch of the show, it does seem a little rough around the edges, but to be fair, who knew it would return and become as big as it did. None of them could've seen that coming...

      From the UK too. Although SNL didn't air on UK TV for years, video stores in the 80s had 'The Best of Dan Aykroyd' and 'The Best of John Belushi' available to rent. The show reached our shores in the late 80s and through the 90s on MTV. In the wake of the success of 'Wayne's World', BBC 2 broadcast isolated 'Wayne's World' sketches on Thursday nights at 10.20pm in Jan and Feb of '93. The year before they had broadcast Season 18 (a month later than the US). The episodes were cut down to 30 minutes and, If memory serves, they didn't show the full season. Annoyingly, they never aired any consequent seasons after that. My guess is the BBC probably had to buy a season to get the package of Wayne's World sketches. The show then returned to the UK in the mid 2000s on ITV4 (with eps shown one week after the States), where it was aired for two years. Party on.

      @@danpalmer5451 Actually, I remember early seasons were aired abridged over here very infrequently a decade or so ago. I can't for the life of me remember the channel, it may have been Bravo, and they never went beyond the first five seasons. Not exactly an ideal way to experience the show...

    Mike Myers was the Mr. Beast of SNL. He knew how to game the algorithm perfectly. Pretty much EVERY single one of his characters were recurring character worthy.
