360: "Milking The Gorkon" - The Land Of Gorch - An SNL Recurring Character Study

And we're back with yet another installment of our award winning segment ...And We're Back! where we take a deep dive into an SNL recurring character and watch all their appearances. This week we watched one of the earliest SNL recurring characters, that's right, Ben gets introduced to King Ploobis, Scred, Puuta, Vosh and the rest of The Land Of Gorch an early segment on the show featuring Jim Henson's Muppets . Back in 1975, a counter culture variety show decided to include a live puppet segment and the result was something nobody wanted. The writers hated it, the audience was befuddled, and you can quickly see the resentment held by all involved. We watched almost every appearance, as we've previously established we can tap out whenever we want but this time we skipped some from the middle so we could watch their sad, dour, but in some ways beautiful ending.
