    The Museum of Broadcasting in New York has it... and I'm afraid that, as far as I know, that's the only way to see it right now!

    I'd love to see it again, I vividly remember a sketch from the premiere episode which I only watched the one time it was broadcast! It involved Steve Martin in a parody of a film noir/thriller situation, where he realizes he's been drugged, and is speaking in that simplified sort of way: "must... get... help..." - except nothing happens to him and he continues talking that way, and meeting others similarly afflicted who speak in the same manner. They end up having relatively banal conversations in the same stilted style. I don't recall the end, but it was along the lines of saying "let's... get... .pizza... maybe... see... show..."
