1. No, I cannot.
Obviously due to the fact that I was not, at that time, clean and sober. ;-)

10. I get the joke.
Eddie Murphy as Buckwheat, you're making a reference to the whole "do you remember where you were when Kennedy had been shot" thing.

The Buckwheat murder mystery was great. But I didn't see it until 10 years later. :P

5. Vividly.
Siting on the carpet of our old apartment. We were dirt poor, and didn't have enough places for people to sit, and besides, that old 9" black & white TV just looked better if you sat real close. And I remember they interrupted some comedy show that was on at the time, and the news froze my heart. Buckwheat... is dead. :o

9. That was the first SNL I stayed up for.
I was 10, and even though the JFK references went over my head, I thought it was hilarious.

22. Buckwheat was a great American.
I think he put it best when he said, "You're unce, tice, fee times a mady." Stirring words indeed.

Buckwheat made us proud to be Americans again.
