Brilliant, beautiful and hilarious. Three ingredients that usually lead to early cancelation. Very few shows with those qualities seem to last long. Sadly, this show did not. Ratings hardly ever represent true quality. The death of Phil Hartman was horrible. He fleshed out and brought depth to one of the best characters (Bill McNeal) in tv history. Jon Lovitz did a good job, but he was not able to bring the same richness that Phil Hartman did. The rest of the actors were also incredible.
One thing I love that some may not realize was what great editing it had. I mean, when ever someone got hurt, it was a quick cut to the same shot of an ambulance going down the street. I also like how they had a little continuity carry over to the next few episodes. ex: When Bill is doing the commercial, Catherine tricks him into some new urban slang... then a few episodes later they are doing the space radio station, and the characters use one of the made up words Catherine invented. Brilliant
