My opinion, of course.

You also love Apple so your opinion is wrong. [/Argument] 
SNL sucks most of the time because of the rigors of the show being live and them having to come up with material, make props, coordinate the guest star, rehearse, etc. etc. all in the span of less than a week and then perform everything together live. Every now and then they strike gold. Most of the time, it's awkward.
SCTV was not a live show, everything was filmed on camera and carefully written with lots of time and preparation and a cast of writers and talents that has rarely been equalled. Also, it was filmed in Edmonton for a time so I don't know what to think of that.
