This was the first comedy programming I ever saw.  My parents had most of the first season of SNL on VHS (along with other random early SNL episodes) and I watched this when I was I think six or seven, and it is one of the defining moments of my childhood.  Sure, there was a lot of crap in the episode (god, that…
