Poll: Favorite classic sketch comedy | ||||
Discussion:
Favorite classic sketch comedy
That's precisely why I wrote the "classic" in there. To put the funny days of SNL against the others. :)
And it's weird...I've had Steve Martin's King Tut song in my head all morning BEFORE signing on and seeing the poll. Heh. 
Hehehe yeah, very true. I couldn't think of many at the time I did the poll, but there's always the "other"! :)
I used to watch a lot of it in reruns when I was a kid. (SCTV that is) I really adored Martin Short.
SCTV was great. Martin Short didn't join the cast till its decline. The first season with Harold Ramis was the best.
I would love to see some episodes of the Goon Show. That was Python's spiritual precursor in England. Peter Sellers was on it. 
well how bout that one season of SNL with both Marty and Christopher Guest?� Sigh. I voted for SCTV but for me it's an honest tie between that, KiTH, and SOME SNL.

I voted for Kids In The Hall, but I feel that Upright Citizens Brigade not only deserves a mention, but comes in a very, VERY�close second.� Wait... did I just see MadTV as one of the choices?!??� *puke* Edit:� Okay, I'm seeing things.� MadTV wasn't on the list.��� Not to say that it should have been, for that matter.�� Hmm.

All That, of Nickelodeon fame, but only for Lori Beth Denberg's "Vital Information." I've either not seen any others or hate SNL. ;o)

This poll made me think of the Rutles. It was pretty much a collaboration of SNL and Python people.

I voted SNL, because when it's "on," it's amazing... But I just thought someone should mention Mr. Show. :-)

It wasn't only sketches it had great singing and dancing too. My favorite cast member was the new Lisa. She was so much better than the one on the sitcom.
personally, i think the simpsons variety show can't hold a candle to the alan brady show.

These were from before my time and I've only seen snippets from them but My Show of Shows and the Sid Ceaser show have great reputations. I know the talent was there. The writers included Mel Brooks, Woody Allen, and Neil Simon. How is that for an all-star lineup?
I forgot to add Larry Gelbart of M*A*S*H fame.
it's your show of shows, right? carl reiner based a lot of the dick van dyke show on his experiences writing for those shows.
Of course it is Your show of shows I was just being possessive.
Exactly Carl Reiner was Sid Ceaser's straight man. I should have mentioned him. One writer on the show was asked, "How come all the writers were young and Jewish." He replied, "because all of our parents were old and Jewish."
His son is pretty good too. Went from being a meathead to directing The Princess Bride. Not a bad resume.
I kinda love old Smothers Brothers stuff. Like...a lot.
The Smothers Brothers was one of the greatest shows EVER! I'd put it on my top ten list. It was the first show to make political humor a staple on TV. It was also really funny.
never saw the state, but man, was wet hot american summer one of the funniest movies ever made.

When I look at the poll right now it looks kinda like Monty Python is giving us the finger. :)
