The greatest TV skits of all time. Here's a few of mine. And yours?
Here are a few of mine, to get us started. There are too many to list here; that's your job. These are the laugh until you cry skits off the top of my head. In no particular order:

Went With the Wind: Carol Burnett wears Bob Mackey's curtains.

Coach: Coach goes on TV for an interview wearing a colostomy bag.

Dave Chappelle: Dave gets to know the real Wayne Brady.

Lucy: My personal favorite? She meets William Holden. And lights up a cigarette.

Cheers: Frasier and Lilith first meet, then get erotic on a talk show.

Frasier: Frasier's agent quits smoking.

Barney Miller: It's time for some electrifying brownies.

Drew Carey: How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying. The musical.

WKRP in Cincinnati. The Thanksgiving episode. Oh, the humanity.

The Charmings: Eric Charming trades bodies with the elf (hey, underrated show here).

And you????

2. "Go back to sleep, Bob..."
Suzanne Plachette (sp?) waking after Bob Newhart says "Emily- I just had the strangest dream!" closing out his second series.

Brilliant television.

4. Yep. My daughter Emily named for her character.
In 1976. A while ago, I guess. It's Suzanne Pleshette, and that's a great one.

7. Actually, she has not aged all that well
Flaming, huge silver hair. I would have preferred something understated. But, we all loved her back in the day (sigh).

5. Do you mean Colonel Lingus, from SNL?
The ladies were always happy to see Colonel Lingus. If I had to list SNL skits, I would be up all night! Here are two that I just have to mention: The Wild and Crazy Guys, and Hot Tub, with Eddie Murphy. But, way too many; the brain explodes!

8. I heard Angus....
but you could be right... In any case, the innuendo is the same.
