I don’t know why but I was just thinking of the 1984-85 season of SNL and how I pray they release the whole damn thing to DVD someday.
That was the “hired guns” season where Christopher Guest, Martin Short, Harry Shearer, and Billy Crystal all were cast members. I don’t know how many of them stayed or left after that season but I know that was the only year all four were on the show. I have a beat-up old VHS tape of highlights from that season, including the sketch below.
(I wish SNL would either vastly improve their Hulu offerings or just let fans upload their own old tapes to YouTube. It’s painful to be unable to get good videos of sketches like these easily.)

I have such clear memories of this season, I think it may be it was the first year I was allowed to stay up to watch SNL. I’m very surprised those guys were only together one season. I may have to pick it up once they get around to releasing it.
