For that matter, anything that had Gilda Radner was gold.  And the 
amazing season that had Eddie Murphy, Billy Crystal, Christopher 
Guest and Harry Shearer!
 
I basically stopped watching because it just stopped being funny.  
And even when they had bits that were mildly amusing, they didn't 
know when to stop.  The same joke repeated eight times is not 
funny.  It's not even very funny the second time.  

MAD TV is MUCH better than SNL, and has some truly hysterical bits, 
although it isn't quite as good as Living Color or SNL it its heyday 
(but sometimes it comes close).  Another show that was on only 
briefly was "The Edge," which was a syndicated David Mirkin project 
(he's on "The Simpsons" production crew, and the show had a truly 
odd Simpsons-esque flavor to it).  It's mostly notable for including 
a pre-Friends Jennifer Aniston in the cast.  She was actually very 
funny and had to do many different characters per episode.  Did 
anyone else ever see this?
