 | | The dichotomy between SCTV and SNL Ed Grimley sketches is akin to one of my favorite analogies to support my contention that opinion goes only so far and sometimes one piece of work is just better then the other: the difference between Beethoven and a monkey banging a tambourine. |
 | | Short's characters were brilliant; look at Troy Sorensen, Cheaplaffs, Jackie Rogers Jr., Ed Grimley (before SNL ruined it), plus his takeoffs on Jerry Lewis, David Steinberg and Canadian Prime Minister Pierre Trudeau (this one was so spot on it was scary). |
 | | Falbo, Shower in a Briefcase, the 5 Neat Guys, the Shmenge Brothers, the McKenzie Brothers, Ed Grimley, Pirini Scleroso, the Sammy Maudlin Show, Moranis and Thomas' pitch-perfect impressions of Woody Allen and Bob Hope--a show this imaginative and witty was incapable of jumping the shark. |
