1* EditedForSyndication
2* FatalMethodActing: Narrowly [[AvertedTrope averted]]. Cast-member Tracey Conway almost died of a heart attack on-stage. After filming an E.R. spoof (as a chain-smoking doctor), no less.
3* KeepCirculatingTheTapes: Despite the fact you could probably get half of Seattle to give up coffee for a month[[note]]and considering that [[MustHaveCaffeine this is Seattle we are talking about]], that is saying ''a lot''[[/note]] to get a box set, [=KING5=] has no plans to release it, leaving fans with late-night reruns and Website/YouTube (including official [[=KING5=]] uploads).
4** [[https://www.youtube.com/user/GeorgeBuford George Buford]] has been uploading sketches for the last several years, and has amassed an impressive library.
5* MoneyDearBoy: When UsefulNotes/MichaelJordan was at the height of his one-man advertising blitz, he passed through Seattle and filmed a promo for the show, saying something like "I'll promote anything. Now they want me to do a plug for ''Almost Live!''" (Thinks about this for a moment, shakes his head) "No." ([[ScrewThisImOuttaHere Gets up and leaves]].)
6* TechnologyMarchesOn: The Billy Quan skit "Five Disks of Death". Besides the title itself (at one point, [[JerkAss John Keister's character]] tries to use several 5 1/4" floppies as weapons), Billy beats up the oaf because he unknowingly unplugged Billy's computer before he got to save his work. Today, it's ''unthinkable'' to not save while while you work.
