I have very ambivalent feelings about "Saturday Night Live." My older brother Bill introduced Terence and me to it back in its earliest days, and I quickly fell in love with Gilda Radner and many of the show's famous sketches, such as the Coneheads, Chevy Chase on "Weekend Update" and the Cheezborger! Cheezborger! Cheezborger! guy. Over the years, though, my fascination seems to have dipped even below the Average Joe's love-hate relationship with the show, as I never really took to the many soon-to-be-superstar cast members that came after, like Eddie Murphy, Mike Myers, Dana Carvey, Will Ferrell, Amy Poehler, et al. (Give me Jane Curtain on "Kate and Allie" any day.) Still, my friend Geoffrey's write-up from the 40th-anniversary retrospective exhibition now on display at Rockefeller Center did look awfully fun, and not just because it seems to focus on a lot of the show's earliest days.
