 "Saturday Night," Still Alive
To the extent that it was counterculture, it was running counter to the culture of television itself, using an almost anachronistic format (the live variety show) as a forum for a brand of humor that was partly funny simply because the players seemed to be getting away with something.
But maybe it's fruitless to complain that the Saturday Night Live we know today has so little in common with the original that they are, in effect, different shows.

 IGN: Saturday Night Live: The Best of David Spade Review
As a cast member from 1990-1996, you'd think that it would be pretty easy to compile a solid set of sketches to represent his tenure, but as Saturday Night Live: The Best of David Spade reveals, it may not be as easy as it would be with another performer who was, you know, funnier.
I guess in small doses this could be OK, but in sketch after sketch, I was struck by how narrowly varied his characters were and how the few sketches that weren't painfully unfunny were thanks to other performers or some funny line that didn't really need him to deliver it.
Spade to IGN DVD - then Saturday Night Live: The Best of David Spade may satisfy your need for a acerbic funny fix, but for the rest of us, there are far better SNL collections to choose from.

Though it was Mifune’s scruffy, wild-eyed performances that John Belushi channeled for laughs in the Saturday Night Live skit “Samurai Deli,” it was Nakadai’s icy, remorseless killer in the 1965 film Sword of Doom, directed by Kihachi Okamoto, that provided a more likely prototype for the stoic gunslingers Clint Eastwood made famous.

 TV on DVD: 'Saturday Night Live: The complete first season'   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-02)
The first few episodes of "Saturday Night Live" offered very little indication that this show would last for more than three decades.
The first episode, on Oct. 11, 1975, was a collection of dead-end skits broken up by bits of standup from host George Carlin, who was a little nervous and, reportedly, a little stoned.
By the fourth episode, though, you can see "Saturday Night," as the show was called then, hitting its stride, led by its fearless first star, Chevy Chase.

One of their last live performances was on a rooftop (see "Let It Be") and there was little audience there.
If this was to become a prerequisite for appearances on television claiming to be "Live", I believe it could only lead to an enormous increase in the quality of music being aired, as anyone promoting themselves and their record sales on TV would have to think twice about being up to it.
