It did have one of the best opening theme songs in the 90's in my opinion.
But Like others have said, the humor was very hit and miss.

opening theme

However, I always thought one of the relatable sketches to American and Canadian humor was this one...

Try It Now !

I'm 45, fat, and unmotivated. I wish I had a buddy of mine that would be like, "hey a-hole, you and me gym buddies starting now". It would help to have a someone that maybe helps you be accountable when you are years out of practice

I thought it was pretty cool. I really liked the guys who did Dan Aykroyd, John Belushi, and Chevy Chase, and also Lorne Michaels and Billy Chrystal. I thought they brought a good representation of them.

I also liked some of the staff people behind the scenes like Frankin/Davis, and how it depicted Michael O'Donoghue who was indeed a complete dark and disturbed nut.

It was of course a dramatic take on opening night so I'm sure most of the stuff didn't actually happen, but they wanted to also put some of the known history of those days as part of the overall feel of the show. For instance I don't think Milton Berle hosted the show for another 4 years or so. I doubt he was around that night and but he was indeed a notorious jerk and his episode is considered one of the worst ever and I don't think they even allow it in syndication anymore. Also they kept showing Dan Akroyd doing his Fred Garvin character which also didn't appear for another few years. Again I think this just added extra entertainment and set a tone for the time and groove of the show.

Although it wasn't completely distracting, but I thought it a little weird that they cast Greg from Succession as both Jim Henson AND Andy Kaufmann. Maybe it was a slight tongue in cheek tribute to Andy himself who of course had multiple characters he would portray, but not sure what the actual thought process was with that.

it depends on if I was born then or if i had a time machine because of what we know now...

as a late Gen x (early millennial by some charts) born in '80, I was a teenager in the '90's but didn't turn 18 until '98, and that I am history fan, I would totally go to the 70's and see the greatest music of all time and still have weed and the introduction to coke and pre-aids sex scene.

the fear and threat of aids was still a big deal in mid '90's...we still had our parents preaching NO SEX OR DRUGS OR YOU WILL GET AIDS type stuff in school and church, plus don't use condoms because its a SIN !...

however, even though the music in the 90's was cool and all but not like the 70's....specifically early to mid 70's pre-disco. I would have settled down by that time disco came around and got a job and just duck hunted and fished without a license and bought a house and boat and vehicle without a college education like my old man did and everyone else .

60's would be a second choice just because of the music scene but like someone said Vietnam would have scared the shite out of me and all the strife with protests and everything else with political unrest

frickin' A....i can hear him saying "vrrroooom!! vrrrooom!! swiiiishhhhh!!!" from here

When I was little I remember asking my dad “What’s your job?”

His response was “I make money.”

I literally thought he made dollar bills and coins.

My mom once said to me in the car while we passed the plants in Lake Charles, that this is where dad makes his bread and butter.

Literally thought dad worked for a bread and butter factory and brought it home for us to eat. Also told my teacher this when asked what my dad does...'he makes bread and butter", hahahaha

thank you for reminding me about this flick !

random story but for my buddies 15th birthday in 95 or 96 we rented this and Braveheart on VHS and must have rewound her topless scene at least 20 times ! after movie we then ran around and played hide and seek outside in the woods till like midnight after this movie probably trying to run off the hormone buildup from that scene

then we watched braveheart and mind was blown even more so wrestled in living room for like an hour !

just brought up an old memory so thought i would say thanks !

just so I understand...i bring a carry on suitcase with my clothes packed that i put in overhead compartment, and then my laptop bag with computer and charger and whatever else i can fit that goes under my seat. I can fit socks, underwear and tshirts in laptop bag and jeans and shirts and other into overhead compartment bag. I fly United for work at least a couple times a month so maybe things are different with other airlines, but i could easily get by with only my overhead compartment bag for at least 3 or 4 days.

like someone else said, why in hell would you wear a hoodie to walk through an airport and/or sit next to a fatass like myself on a plane ? Obviously you don't walk half a mile through Bush Airport in Houston.
Does that little bitty air conditioner on the plane freeze you out that much ? Seems like something bulky you dont need

I must yell “cut the shite!!!” Around my house at least twice a week and my wife always cracks up laughing

Cheers

even a character you were not supposed to like, Robin Colcord, or the upstairs restaurant owner, or even Gary from Gary's Old Town Tavern, all were still likely in their own way
