I'm watching a recording of the Things We Did Last Summer original broadcast...I noticed they used a lot of music in the original special (I Gotta Be Me, Miss You are quite prominent). I'm curious if those sequences were left edited from the release too (they must have taken it directly from the...

Most of the episode guides are based on a combination of tape listings (live if available) and other notes. The versions of Steve Martin / Jackson Browne show that ran in the last 10-11 years were all from a fall 1978 repeat broadcast, and while the original show content was listed in the other...

Did the end credit sequence of the first show have a Don Pardo voiceover? I know the Beatles repeat offer showed up in the rerun version of the show (Kromega and Royal Deluxe don't appear at all though, and Acid Generation from the next episode is edited in).

Has anyone received any advanced copies? I'm curious about how intact the episodes are.

I assume all the episodes with Anyone Can Host contest material will be the uncut live shows because the reruns are edited to remove any mention of the contest. There were a few non-contest episodes that have some noticeable edits: -The rerun of Robert Klein (1/28/78) Weekend Update has a...

It's 16 and 17 in season one- you can tell because they use a shortened version of the season 3 intro (different Jessica/Mary shot at the beginning, Corinne and Eunice have shorter hair, Billy's a LOT taller). Also, the video quality during these two looks terrible. Any idea what scenes are...

Since they officially announced that the Things We Did Last Summer short films special from 10/28/78 will be included as a bonus feature on the set, I'm wondering if they will include the Jane Curtin segment (which was cut from the Pacific Arts video release in the early 80s). I guess the...

I'll clarify about a few things, since I have recordings of the second season from Canadian cable aired circa 1998. Here's what I noticed on those tapes: -the Burns and Bond shows are the only two that actually used the Saturday Night Live title in the montage; Gould onward reverted back to the...

Hmm. I know the Paul Simon episode is missing the caption after Try-Hard 1-11 and Lily Tomlin's missing the Roberta Flack caption "We're Killing Her Softly With This Show".

I was chatting with someone who had the set, and he said they added the Wrigley's gum commercial that was cut from last year's set to the Tarkenton episode. There's also a slight edit to the goodnights that was there in the last broadcast on classic in 2001: they started them after the money...

What? When's SNL S2 supposed to come out here?

The music was often the highlight of the 1980-81 eps, though.

I noticed in the first set there were a few audience shots cut out as well in the really early episodes (including a particularly unamused older woman being captioned as a roadie for Vanilla Fudge). I was watching my live broadcast recording of Reiner and there's also a Pardo voiceover after...

I've got the Comedy Network broadcast, it just fades to black suddenly...it's been a while since I've seen it but I remember it seems like the text crawl speeds up like they're racing to the signal cutoff; there weren't any credits then either. I don't believe this episode had an encore...

Was there a bumper of Karen Black? For some reason all the broadcasts on E!, Global or Comedy Network cut every bumper from that one out.
