[@seanl67]

The thing I noticed most with the original SNL cast is they didn't seem to rely on cue cards as much as the more recent casts do.

[@NewhamMatt]

Here's an opinion with a theory: The current shows are tighter than the early ones (although the original team may have had funnier and more original material). The writing team now is also huge by comparison. I reckon that the original show may not have refined, switched and culled sketches as strenuously as they do now. It's possible that the sketches were rehearsed pretty much as performed, rather than being rewritten all the way up to 11:30.

[@seanl67]

@@NewhamMatt that makes perfectly good sense to me. I just get put off a bit when the cast and guests overly rely on the cue cards.

In fact Bill Murray was such a very refreshing addition to SNL I personally admit the Season 3 and 4 years of SNL the last two with John Belushi and Dan Aykroyd were the peak best ones. You had Father Guido Sarducci introduced. You also had Al Frankin and Tom Davis. Mr. Bill. Essentially the best seasons of cast members were together 1977-1978 and 1978-1979.
