As far as the fifth season goes, it's worth buying for two of my all-time favorite sketches: one where the guest host was a basketball player (I think?) and he kept asking people "Is it because I'm black?" including Garrett Morris who played his mother (it's a lot funnier than it sounds) and one where Laraine Newman played Carole King as she was composing "You've Got a Friend" with Steve Martin playing the friend. I won't spoil the joke there but it's hysterical.[/quote]
That was a parody of The White Shadow with Bill Russell, and yes, that's a classic. That also makes me think of a fifth season parody of That's Incredible/Real People when the all-white hosts bring on Garrett Morris as a "man with very dark skin" and then marvel at his uniqueness. I'm sure that shouldn't be funny, but it is.
