3. SNL The first 3 seasons were great. After that they were just a drag.

Speaking of which - do you (or anyone) remember Fridays? It was ABC's answer to SNL. It was Michael Richards' first break, & also had Melanie Chartoff, who I thought would've gone farther afterwards. Also, IIRC, Larry David, who went on to co-write Seinfeld. Also Mitchell Laurance, last seen announcing women's pool on ESPN, and Mark Blankfield, who I haven't seen since.

Early SNL also had Jim Henson's muppets, but not the better known ones. These were R-rated, irreverent characters who worshipped the Mighty Favog. The Mighty Favog, an animated stone god, was fed live chickens in order to get his advice.

I don't recall the name of the king who ruled this bunch of misfits, but he was often addressed as "Your Flatulence" by his smarter toady.

I have never seen seen these puppets in SNL reruns, but they were one of the better features of the first, perhaps second season.

Anybody else remember these characters?

I agree on Fridays. I loved that series. Remember the pharmacist who partook in his own stock?
