I loved that cast, but my other favorite cast that's never mentioned (from the '84-'85 season):
Martin Short, Harry Shearer, Christopher Guest, Billy Crystal, Julia Louis-Dreyfus.
Two of the best skits ever came from that group: Jackie Roger's 100,000 Jackpot Wad and the Synchronized Swimming bit. Oh man.
I love SNL.
Jackie Rogers 100,000 Jackpot Wad is fantastic, agreed. The thing I love about Martin Short is his total commitment to his characters....and he was committed to that one.
The Synchronized Swimming Bit is even better..."hey, you....I know you, I know you.
I just think that the mid-80's cast were phenomenal. They had great chemistry, and were really smart, skilled people. They helped drag that show out of ratings hell. Ferrell might be my favorite cast member of all time, but if he is, Hartman is a close 2nd. And Miller doing the News was great as well. But that's just me, we all have our favorites, obviously. I'm sure people 10 years younger than I am would be shocked to hear that I found the post-Hartman, pre-Ferrell seasons not all that great.
