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.

No bumpers except for right befor the credits, or did they take that one out as well? The DVD Talk review mentioned they left the final one in.

There are a few things I'm curious about in the set: Next week segments: I know Lear and Simon had them in their live broadcasts. Are those included on the set? Are there any others? Pardo voiceovers: The telltale as to whether they used a rerun is if there's a jump in the closing theme to...

Someone posted at the Amazon page that the bumpers are cut. No word if he means that they just leave the one right before the credits or if they took that out as well. Karen Black also has a montage bumpers credit scroll (the live show ran long so there was no goodnights).

As long as there's one from Karen Black, I'll be happy. Is anyone going to be in possession of an advance copy? There are a few things I'm very curious about from show to show. I'll come up with a laundry list soon.

For some reason, the sound on the master recording is weaker and tinny-sounding, like it was coming from an AM radio. Even when material from this episode is used in compilations you can tell the sound's not as good as even the other episodes in the season.

They used a lot of the same cues over and over. I've seen the archive recordings of the network feed with the minute-long bumpers instead of local ads and they had a tendency to play "That's The Way of the World", "Peaches En Regalia", and "Move On Up" a lot in those old shows (and by the end of...

I'd at least hope they put a little more effort into season 2 just because the edits are a lot more damaging this season than they are in others. The whole stretch in God Talks To Johnny that originally had "Arrow Through Me" was just horribly done, with long chunks of replaced dialogue. Just...

I originally decided against buying the set as soon as I heard the nature of the editing because I had my own recordings from the Comedy Network broadcasts, but I eventually broke down and got it this weekend. It is a shame that the music had to be replaced (well, more that Fox didn't want to...

The Lasser show wasn't as "banned" as everyone thinks it is...it's been included in every syndication package of the show since 1981. I think the no-repeat rule was just for network reruns.

The blurb on the box is a little misleading; both those sketches were from when Eddie Murphy hosted in December 1984. For the most part, the post-1983 tapes are all best-of compilations aired in the SNL slot (except for 1985-86, which they understandably never did a retrospective of...they...

The Starmaker 1983 best-of was actually a compilation episode that aired in the SNL slot late in the season (right after Eddie Murphy had left). "Best of 1983" is kind of a misnomer too: some of the sketches in that compilation were from Louis Gossett show, which was aired the week before the...

Gord, Tell them to quote the show number if possible. SNL's episode number system (used in the NBC Media Village listings) give a separate number for both the live show and every rerun.

As a long-time SNL fan who pays more attention than usual to the edits and alternate versions floating out there, I've got a few questions about the set: -does Candice Bergen / Esther Phillips include the Long Distance commercial with the gay son? -does Anthony Perkins / Betty Carter include...
