Finally found the famous Saturday Night Live skit from 1991 with Susan Dey and Melanie Hutsell's Jan Brady where the Partridges and the Bradys engage in a battle of the bands! It's not on YouTube and you have to subscribe to Hulu Plus to see the full episode. It's at Melanie Hutsell's website. What struck me when it first aired and seeing it again is that Susan Dey exactly like she did on the show as Laurie Partridge years earlier just by putting the wig on with the long brown hair!

(correction it's from 1992, but aired during the 1991-1992 season.)

OMG, I LOVED this skit! Actually that is what got me hooked on that song "I Think I Love You"! I could not stop listening to it after I saw this ep and now it's one of my all time favorite songs! I listened to it so much I memorized it! Now that I watched it again, I remember how hilarious it was! Thanks for posting it!

It turned out to be one of the Best SNL parodies with much homage.

In early 1992, Susan Dey's career was perhaps at its zenith. At that moment in time, Dey was finishing up her successful six season run on the popular TV series L.A. Law, one of her most beloved TV movies (Bed of Lies) would premiere, and later in the year she would star in her own sitcom, Love & War. With her popularity at an astonishing apex, Susan Dey was called upon to host an episode (http://thewickerbreaker.com/season17/snl-s17e12-host-susan-dey-date-february-8-1992) of the legendary NBC sketch comedy series Saturday Night Live (https://www8.fmovies.se/film/saturday-night-live-17.kw079/89mvxn).
Susan Dey was a great choice to host SNL. Of course, she was a highly visible actress at this time and her name would be a great draw for many viewers. Dey was also quite adept at working in a comedic setting...she had begun her acting career on a very funny show, The Partridge Family, and had also starred in another short-lived sitcom in 1977. With over two decades of stage and screen experience, the talented actress would have no problem humorously hosting SNL.
Besides spoofing her most popular television characters, Laurie Partridge (http://norewardisworththis.tumblr.com/post/30787696189/partridge-family-vs-brady-bunch-sketch-from) and Grace Van Owen, in hilarious sketches, Susan Dey also got to appear in some amusing scenes alongside SNL cast members Mike Myers and Rob Schneider. Dey, looking terrific in '92, also sheds some clothing in her monologue...to the delight of the studio audience and viewers worldwide!

It was also at the end of this episode (https://www.reddit.com/r/LiveFromNewYork/comments/1ia2n6p/one_of_the_most_heartwarming_and_heartbreaking/), that Susan announced the birth of Phil Hartman's daughter Birgen. Knowing what we now know what would happen to Phil Hartman and Birgen's mother less than six years later, the moment is now both heartwarming and heartbreaking. :(

Dana Carvey was excellent in that skit.
