I wasn’t allowed to watch SNL when it was first on. I do have a memory where we were visiting family friends and the normal rules went out the window, so I saw the B-52s on there, and that seemed wild. Later, they’d show edited episodes in syndication, and I had a little crush on Larraine Newman, as I had liked her in American Hot Wax.
By the time I could freely watch SNL, it was pretty bad, Joe Piscopo, etc.
Then I liked the season with Billy Crystal, Christopher Guest, Martin Short, etc. It’s been off and on since then, never a show I had to see, but I’ve liked some sketches.
