Just like there are no half hour sitcoms, no 1 hour shows like Magnum, comedy is also in the tank.

Clever stuff like this doesn't happen on SNL anymore:

This was from November '89, just before we slipped into the TV abyss of the 90s. I unfortunately can't see Hulu from Canada, but am going from memory of how this cracked me up 20 yrs ago.

Found another link for those not in the US. You have to remember that there was an actual fiber cereal commercial on TV at the time that this skit parodies:

Edit:
I removed the link to the other non-US site. Although it looked good to Norton, I didn't like the add-ons that it asked to run after playing the video.

I can't even play SNL material directly on the NBC site:

The internet isn't the 'world without barriers' place it once was. Lucky Yanks!
