I used to stay up at night and tape this show on a VCR that even at the time was old and decrepit. I would sit on the floor in front of the TV ignoring the pain in my knees so I could press the pause button when the commercials came on and have uninterrupted copies of all the episodes.
This aired in that era just before Mad TV began and slightly longer before it started to suck and when SNL was pretty much relying on a ceaseless parade of prop comedy. Like most sketch shows it was hit and miss as far as the comedy went. There were always the bits that dragged on, like the cop who could speak baby or those sketches that were obviously written so Stan Quash could scream at someone. But it was well worth sitting through to hear Tommy Blaze tell you what it was all about or when Shawn Alex Thompson made one of his hilarious films. And I always looked forward to the advice portion of the show with Abby and Andy.
As a sketch show it was pretty well done and it was rather a pity it didn't get a longer run. It was also a pity that most of the cast faded into obscurity because they were all quite talented, though I think Dan O'Connor and Brad Sherwood went on to do a few other things of note.
All in all it was a good show for the time and if you can find any bits on YouTube it's probably worth the three minutes of your life to watch.
