I don't think anyone said SCTV or Saturday Night Live, two shows hurt my music licensing fees.

Most certainly. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wild_Man_Blues

I did see a set once upon a time at Costco so yes, this must be the same material.

https://timelife.com/products/the-best-of-the-merv-griffin-show Didn't see any mention of this, so I thought I would throw this up here. Been trolling the Time Life page for a while hoping for news of additional Saturday Night Live sets. Lee . . . show us your lining . . .

Did A&E ever say what happened to the "Biggles Dictates a Letter" sketch which was missing some footage?

The first instance of the "Tonight" song getting cut that I was aware of was the A&E DVDs. I grew up with that line on my PBS-taped VHS version and then on the Paramount VHS tapes that I upgraded to. I was disappointed not only that that line wasn't inserted back into the episode but that the...

I have the Network version and the travel agent sketch line "What a silly bunt" is NOT restored. Is it in this US version?

Well, I think almost all of the remaining seasons of SNL are somewhat marketable for a physical release. The Ebersol years obviously have Eddie Murphy while the late 80s were a definite resurgence and are almost -- for me, anyway -- on par with the original years. I don't know how they licensed...

I had been debating for a while about buying the Robin Williams Comic Genius box set from Time-Life but something odd made me pull the trigger: I noticed in the description on the Time-Life set that the Williams-hosted Saturday Night Live episodes that previously filled up disc two (of volume...

My box too arrived damaged as pictured above. The box is really useless and will probably be tossed in a closet never to be seen again. I was blown away at the size of the four books. Means I'm going to have to clear more time in my schedule to read than to view! Was also astounded at the...

In regards to the extras, you have to get The Life of Python set if you want “everything.” Those two discs are not included in the 16-ton megaset. They include the material created for the 30th anniversary and one of the German shows.

You are correct on all counts.

I see the release date for this has now been moved up to November 4 from the previously announced November 12. Bill Hunt wrote in today's Digital Bits that the site was working on a review, so obviously review copies are out.
