That I so did not know. Maybe people caught in on a satalite dish, or something.
Anyway, "Almost Live" was some local ersatz "Saturday Night Live" that seemed to air for a few years(and is way older than I thought. I remember it airing in about 1992), but I believe has now been given the ax. It starred a bunch of local actors. I think Bill Nye was the only one to go on to do anything national(was"Bill Nye the Science Guy" national? I have no idea. It was at least all wildly popular with young folks here for awhile, though.) The others pop up in local projects every now and then. As an ensemble in "Almost Live," they were alright, I suppose. The skits were sort of corny, but I actually remember one called something in the ranks of "Give Away the Whole D*&^ Movie in the Trailer," and then a bunch of silly examples of movie trailers doing just that. Considering I have certainly noticed that in enough movie trailers, it was actually sort of funny. The rest of the skits were not as memorable.
It a nutshell, I guess watching "Almost Live" is like watching a low-budget "Saturday Night Live" sans the musical guests.
