My personal view is that SCTV was head and shoulders above SNL; shame that it only became a cult classic later.
The "3CP1" (CCCP) spoof episode with Cold War era Moscow hijacking the Melonville satellite uplink and the "Queen Haters" punk rock sketch from Mel's Rock Pile, with its prophetic "I feel sorry for you Lady Di, having a mother-in-law like that" being two of my personal favorites.
