Almost Live! (1984–1999)
9/10
Not just for Seattle residents
28 February 2015
I first saw this in the late '80s when one of the San Francisco stations began running it. I then moved to Portland OR in 1990 and watched it there for 2 years. This show, along with SCTV, were the high-water marks of late night comedy shows, after SNL became oh so predictable. (To be fair, SNL has made a couple of comebacks over the many decades it has aired, and is once again quite fully. Still, what I wouldn't give to have this or SCTV back....)

So anyway, this show was very relate-able to dazzling urbanites from San Francisco, and residents of a much smaller city like Portland. Anyone with a slightly warped sense of humor will enjoy this show, if you can just find it anywhere! Whoever holds the rights to this, see if Rhino or Shout Factory or Netflix or Amazon would like to add it to their lineups, please!!
