Many of them were forgettable. One of the only other writers of note was Marilyn Suzanne Miller, who had written for the show in its first four seasons. She did again in 1981-1982 and wrote two of my favorite sketches - one where Robin Duke has a one-night stand she regrets with Tim Kazurinsky, only for this to get much worse when she gets a call that her father has died and he is still there (in a second part of the sketch post-commercial break, we see the funeral...which he has followed her to), and another when Elizabeth Ashley hosted where we see her and the female cast as teenagers, then jump forward 20 years. They have the same dialogue in both parts of the sketch, it's just the different parts of their lives, along with their deliveries, shift the meaning.
