Nice article!
My parents were also huge SNL/SCTV fans so this was watched religiously in our house every week. Unfortunately it was before we had a VCR so i've never seen it past the original airings. I really wish they would push out a cheapo DVD release like they did with Hey Vern! recently.
My sister had that Ed Grimley halloween costume( and i'm sure my mom still has it packed away somewhere). The Tiger handheld game is blowing my mind however.
