Yep, DANTES INFERNO would have been a hit! Loved that skit. Super silly.

[@Dr.Quarex]

Damn the unexpected sound of the death ray followed up by the tornado warning got me good. Dave Thomas is so underappreciated

"Whoops, they're dead, they don't seem to be moving! Oh, this one here was lying very still. ... glad to see he's feeling better." LOLOL Eugene was brilliant here.

[@alukuhito]

Tony Rosato appeared in this, but his name wasn't in the credits. This looks like the first appearance of Count Floyd. Cool.

First Count Floyd.

It really is fun watching these all in order and having those realizations. "Oh right, this thing I have been aware of my entire life did have an origin point"

I was starting to like Earl, but this newscast has me pausing that lol

No Rick Moranis?

[@PHANTOMZ0NE]

Moranis came on when Ramis was fired.

[@jaylew8408]

@@PHANTOMZ0NE there was no overlap? I coulda swore I saw an episode where they were both present

[@RobertCass]

@@PHANTOMZ0NE Ramis wasn't fired - he left "SCTV" to direct "Caddyshack."

[@RobertCass]

@@jaylew8408 I don't think so. Ramis's final appearance as a performer on the show aired in September of '78 (kzbin.info/www/bejne/eHO4i6KLmZt3es0); Moranis made his "SCTV" debut two years later.

[@canaisyoung3601]

Moranis didn't come on the show until season 3, when John Candy and Catherine O'Hara temporarily left and they also brought in Robin Duke and Tony Rosato.
