Customer Rating:      Summary: Great!!!!!!! Comment: I think the SNL 3rd Season is the best one yet! Have really enjoyed watching it.
Customer Rating:      Summary: snl live from the past Comment: one has a certain expectation when seeing the names of john belushi, dan ackroyd, bill murray, jane curtain, gilda radner. steve martin will always be irreplacable and for that this dvd is good. as for the not ready for prime time players, there are certain instances when they are brilliant and not just reading cue cards and expressing some mild interest or overblown drug trance. an example would be belushi doing samarai scenes. he is there! many of the other scenes seem strained. the cone heads are also an exception. if you view this carefully you will see in the opening credits when each player is introduced that gilda takes a bite out of an apple (the big apple?) and then spits it out. they only allowed her to do that one time, and the rest are cut just after she takes the bite. so there are flaws in this entire series. too boring for the most part to detail here. certainly not worth buying. this is a totally subjective opinion of course. so if you must see some history find out for yourself. good hunting.
Customer Rating:      Summary: Now yer' talking!!! Comment: THIS season is finally starting to show the cast in their true memories... No more "guests" as the "hosts" for the entire show; the cast gets to develop their style and really enjoys performing. Much better than the 1st and 2nd DVD sets. Laugh till you can't breathe! That's what the original members made you do! Who cares about the price of gasoline. ENJOY!!!!!!!!!
Customer Rating:      Summary: SNL's best year Comment: SNL was a very different show in its first five years from the show it would become. It did not pander to popular or dumbed-down tastes, nor was it an excuse for a modestly talented performer to plug their latest star vehicle. The show's third season displayed multiple talents reaching their peak, and the remarkable emergence of Bill Murray as a major comic actor. The musical guests are a truly colorful lot, rather than the flavor-of-the-week acts that are booked today. Most of all, this was the final year that the writing was shaped by the brilliant Michael O'Donoghue, and his hilariously dark perspective. The Robert Klein episode concludes with Mr. Mike's elaborate spoof of D-grade monster movies, "Attack of the Atomic Lobsters," which manages to send up Roger Corman, Orson Welles's "War of the Worlds," and the radio broadcast of the Hindenburg disaster, all at the same time. You'll never see anything as distinctive or daring as this on network TV again. This was also the year of the episode which many on the show considered their best ever, the April 1978 show hosted by Steve Martin. SNL defined comedy for at least a generation. Get this DVD box set and see why.
Customer Rating:      Summary: AWESOMMMMMMMMMME Comment: SNL keep it coming. It is so nice for a fan that first tuned into SNL in the mid 80's to finally see classic episodeds in their full unedited presentation.
