It was never "must see" for me.
Any way, I avoided the show since the Bill Buckner fiasco. Not because of game, but because
of guest host Rosanna Arquette trashing the Gipper.
Over the top.

I saw an old rerun of that episode once on cable, and I think the comments were made in the monologue right before the 1986 mid-term elections.
Rosanna was ignorant and wrong, to say the least, but that was only troublesome to me because nowhere in her liberal screed did she attempt to tell any kind of joke, therefore abusing the monologue format of SNL. I will give her one thing though: she was hotter than hell back then.
