This fall, over 100 new television shows are premiering. However, few will return for a second season, making Saturday's premiere of "Saturday Night Live" (SNL)'s 40th season all the more impressive.
CNN deems SNL not just a show but "an institution: its players celebrated, its catchphrases ubiquitous, its very name synonymous with the comedy big leagues." Big leagues is no understatement as many of its stars have gone on to earn billions at the box-office.
While SNL's late-night television time slot and content hasn't often lent itself to family viewing, an Internet search turned up at least nine family friendly sketches performed by its cast.
1. Debbie Downer: Happiest Place on Earth? (Rachel Dratch)
2. Swiffer Sleepers (Amy Phoehler)
3. Baba Wawa at Home (Gilda Radner)
4. Penelope — Traffic School (Kristen Wiig)
5. Bass-o-matic '76 (Dan Aykroyd)
6. Baby Toupee (Bill Hader)
7. Buh-Weet Sings (Eddie Murphy)
8. The Miley Cyrus Show (Vanessa Bayer)
9. Kiddie Thanksgiving Dinner (Bill Murray)
