An OK episode, some amusing stuff, not one of the best.

"Diving For Dollars" has Joe Flaherty as the host of a Mexican game show where American money is thrown off a cliff and contestants (Andrea Martin and Eugene Levy) have to dive for it.

Edith Prickley has a funny "Sunrise Semester" as she tries making annoying conversation with people in an elevator.

A commercial has drunk driver Levy using Serf's breath mints when stopped by a cop.

Bradley Omar (Harold Ramis) is the host of a 1950s black and white science fiction show who introduces a futuristic vision of "Galaxy 66" a spoof of "Route 66" but in outer space. Dave Thomas and Joe Flaherty are two big headed aliens. Levy is a hairy mutant mechanic and John Candy a criminal mutant. Catherine O'Hara is a space babe.

Mrs Prickley makes her own jelly in a commercial.

"Swish Buckler" is a very funny "Mutiny On The Bounty" take off with Candy as the Charles Laughton captain and Flaherty as the Clark Gable Mr Christie. The crew is a flamboyant bunch.

Pyramid Power is a commercial with Orson Welles (Candy) talking about special powers when you put a pyramid hat on your head.

"Beside The Point" is a talk show where reporters ask question that are beside the pont.

O'Hara has a funny commercial about skater Dorothy Hamster (Hamill) talking about her hair.

The final scene is Bradley Omar returning (now in color) talking about space arsenals, another of clip of "Galaxy 66" and the credits roll.
