Thursday Night Live

Thursday Night Live nails both Saturday Night Live and Fridays, the SNL rip off. Features the first appearance by both Walter Cronkite and David Brinkley, in their very first two-hander. Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf was also spoofed in Mind Games from series 2.

Additional Viewing: Saturday Night Live and ABC's SNL competiton Fridays; K-Tel fast talking Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf is based on the 1966 film Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf, starring Richard Burton and Elizabeth Taylor (also featured in Mind Games); Dat's Da Name of Dat Tune is a spoof of 70s cop show Baretta, starring Robert Blake; the tune in question is the theme from Baretta, while S.W.A.T was another cop show on at the time (thanks Markshark).

Syndication Note: Fast Talking Playhouse was moved to 3-4 (56); Crazy Crafts (first show) from 3-3 (55) was added

DVD Note: The end credits music has been changed to the Ira Newborn Cycle 2 theme, obscuring Cronkite's rambling monologue.
