Saturday Night Live - why don't we get it?

Just a thought - SNL is one of the most influential comedy shows in the US, being a stepping stone for some of the best US comedians and comedy actors over the past 20 years.

Why do no UK channels show the program?

Fair enough.

However I would comment that The (US) Office is shown on British TV and so was Family Ties.
