What our customer's say!

"The Show That Really Was Saturday Night!", I loved watching this show again. Some jokes I remembered verbatim as my friends and I repeated them to each other over and over again (I was in high school). The show was many things - musical, comedy and something other - sketches for contemplation and thought. The cast is perfect - Gilda Radner, John Belushi, Jane Curtain, Garrett Morris, Chevy Chase and Dan Ackroyd. It is impressive that most of the guests felt it was their show also. I found it really meaningful to see this show again and was pleased I received the box set for Christmas. The first 5 years of the show were incredible and not the hit and miss show of later years. Great memories. I also enjoyed watching the Chevy Chase impersonation of Gerald Ford and Dan Ackroyd's Nixon and Jimmy Carter. Watching the election campaign on Saturday Night Live is similar to experiencing it once again in the current election.

"A comedy classic comes to DVD", "Saturday Night Live" premiered in October 1975,when I was a junior in high school-I immediately succumbed to its cutting edge humor-You had a great cast:Chevy Chase,John Belushi,& Dan Aykroyd among others-The guest hosts from that first season were outstanding,as well-George Carlin,Lily Tomlin,Candice Bergen,Elliott Gould,& Buck Henry,to name just a few-Musical guests include Janis Ian,Paul Simon,& Leon Redbone-This was definitely must see TV before that phrase was coined-Highly recommended for the die hard "SNL" fan.

"Milestone Comedy!!!", Attitude. Youthful energy. In-fighting. Intelligence. Diversity. These are the things that make the early years of SNL legendary. This is a time capsule back to when the show had a punk rock/ underground edge. There are clever references to drugs, sex and politics during a turbulent era in American culture. Alot of the jokes backfire and its apart of the beauty of the show. Its live and all of the blemishes are out in the open. I only wish there was more spontaneity in modern entertainment.

The current incarnation of SNL suffers from predictability and one-dimension of humor. Here we have slapstick, serio-comedy, vaudeville, politcal satire, etc. The hosts actually had an impact on the tone and style of each episode. Richard Pryor, Madeline Kahn and Peter Cook/Dudley Moore are stand-outs. One can't overlook the magic of the "Not Ready for Primetime Players." Gilda and John have a familiar charm that is world famous, but they are my least favorite performers (Emily LaTella and Baba Wawa are one-joke characters would shouldn't have lasted longer than this season. Ugh). But now, as the show has aged, you can admire the subtle talents of people like Laraine Newman, Garrett Morris and Michael O'Donoghue. Each cast member brings a unique energy to the sketch. And I have to defend the star power of Chevy Chase who's Weekend Update and his occasional slapstick genius elevated the show. Dan Aykroyd and Jane Curtin are the most consistent performers and would remain so for years.

I actually enjoy the "clunker" skits and the "boring" short films. I appreciate the different rhythms in these early episodes. But the Muppets blow. But the No. 1 thing I love about early SNL is the broad, clever concepts behind the sketches. This was before the recurring characters and catchphrases dominated Lorne Michaels' vision. No polish, fearless topics and inspired performances. I just wish it could have lasted longer than a few seasons.

"Just not that funny", The first season of SNL is definitely a groundbreaker, but the truth is, it's just simply not that funny. Actually, the comedy is pretty much downright horrible; there's barely any real "laugh out loud" moments, just a few chuckles here and there. It really depends on how you want to view this - it's a great look at a young TV comedy cast in 1975 trying hard. Everyone keeps saying how great the first cast is - they're ok, but they do make a lot of mistakes. The highlight is definitely the musical guests and watching the guest hosts be themselves in 1975. So if you are looking at a trip back in time, it's definitely an ok viewing in short doses. But as comedy, it's bad. I also can't figure why the Amazon listing says the Louise Lasser episode is one of the show's worst ever - it didn't seem any worse than any of the other shows here! And she looked pretty hot! As did Loraine Newman - she looks downright sexy all over the place. But the show just isn't funny - and definitely not worth a lot of money, even with eight DVDs - I got this on sale here for 31 dollars and that seems about right, only because there are eight DVDs after all. I probably will pick up the other 70's seasons for the "time capsule" aspect when the price gets low enough for me. So again - great time capsule, mostly unfunny show.

"The Golden Era of 'Saturday Night Live'!!!", I bought this 2 years ago, and I'm just now finishing it! These actors are extremely hilarious! Chevy Chase, Gilda Radner, Laraine Newman, Dan Aykroyd, John Belushi, Jane Curtin, Garrett Morris are awesome! I think Gilda Radner is so adorable, and very sexy! (It sucks that she's dead!) There are some pretty cool guest stars like Lily Tomlin, Candy Bergen, Desi Arnez, and much more! Chevy Chase is hilarious as always falling down and doing the news. If you love comedy, and these actors, you'll love SATURDAY NIGHT LIVE: THE COMPLETE FIRST SEASON!!!

"They were the best!", What can I say? This was my era...I've been a serious fan of the original "Not Ready for Prime Time Players" and in my opinion, their creativity & humor was one of a kind. The first 5 years are the best, by far!


"Hilarious Time Capsule", I have only been able to see minor clips from this early SNL period as I was only 5 when these were on TV...It's great and even more fun to see the news stories they parody. The real treasures are the musical guests...New York always had the cutting edge of music in the 70s and they all showed up on SNL... well worth the price!

"A Rocky Start", The first two episodes of the first season are surprisingly unfunny. George Carlin's stand up routine is continually struggling for laughter and the 2nd episode more aptly called Paul Simon and Friends Show is in need of more skits and less music. But then in comes Rob Reiner and his Lounge act (gee, we now know where Bill Murray got the idea) and suddenly everything changes. SNL is known for its roller coaster periods where the cast is either hilarious or struggling. At first it may seem this cast is struggling but they soon find their nitch. Lots of classic skits appear such as John Belushi's hilarious Samarai Chef, Land Shark and of course the Richard Nixon decorating his Christmas Tree opening act. It's even funnier to see how people scored laughs back in the 70's compared to what is funny in 2008. Even Robert Kline's stand up act would be considered "unfunny" by today's standards. SNL 1975 is for the die hard fans of SNL who fully appreciate the genesis of the show, the original cast members that experimented and played with the format and ideas and were not afraid to go overboard or risk a spinal injury for a laugh.

4 out of 5 stars.

"Like stepping into a time machine", These DVD sets are a wonderful time capsule of 70's pop culture.

Early vintage SNL was truly cutting-edge, envelope pushing humor. A lot of the sketches could never get past the censors today because of political correctness and corporate sensitivities.

Along with all of the timeless goofy situation humor, the cast, writers, and producer poked fun at their own network, delivered plenty of below-the-belt political satire, gave Cheech & Chong a run for their money at drug humor, dabbled with some occasionally dicey racial humor, and even made comic sport of a pedophile (Buck Henry's "Uncle Roy," who doesn't show up until Season 4).

Some of the humor may not translate smoothly to the more cautious
world of today. All I can say is, you had to be there.

Regardless of the level of celebrity they had obtained, the musical guests were always first-rate. Their performances alone are worth the price of these sets.

It's sadly ironic that the very people who made us laugh so hysterically were themselves so often quite miserable in the moment; for SNL was then and is now a crucible of competitive juices and often conflicting egos fueled by enormous time pressures and the fragile, terrifying exhilaration of the live performance.


"SNL First Year", I was expecting more because I use to watch this program when I was young. Technology has changed so much and you can tell this easily in year one. The cast was in the learning process of what worked and what didn't. It ran some skits into the ground, in my opinion.
