SNL (did it jump the great white - over the summer break?) can you remember where Jump the Shark came from?

Not related to SNL, but holy crap the Carol Burnette show was some funny funny comedy back in the day! I forgot all about that one, until I saw a clip recently.

That’s no joke. Those guys were hilarious on Carol Burnett. They’d crack themselves up so bad they could barely get through the sketch. :laughing:

The way to watch SNL is Youtube.

Me and my girl were watching clips of SNL on Youtube and cracking up for hours. She had never seen it and wanted to watch it live. I told her that it’s not so funny live. We watched it and that is exactly what happened. The show might have 15-20 minutes of funny stuff per hour and a half. Plus commercials. So little of the show is funny that it drains you.

Fuck that. I love the show, but I watch only the funny skits that make it to Youtube.

The first few years of SNL were basically a TV version of National Lampoon’s Radio Hour, which I would listen to every week on WNEW FM in NYC.

The real creative force propelling the first few years of SNL was Michael O’Donoghue from the magazine and the Radio Hour. After O’Donoghue left the show, it became less amusing to me. And with the departure of Eddie Murphy in 1984, I found it to be virtually unwatchable.

Since then I have seen a few purported highlights of the show, none of which piqued my interest or amused me in the least.

Red Skelton, Carol Burnett, Laugh In, and of course Bennie Hill and Monty Python all made me LOL back in the days of old. Not to mention the assorted comedy LPs available ( Bill Cosby, Firesign Theater, Cheech and Chong).

I remember listening to the National Lampoon Radio Hour as a kid, and cracking up. Firesign Theater was also good, George Carlin and of course Cheech and Chong - ah the golden age of comedy records, I miss those. We used to listen to them over and over again and they were still always funny, just like listneing to your favorite songs over and over.

not if you get canadian satellite it’s on there 24 hours a day pretty much
