Buy This Item Saturday Night Live - The Complete First Season by Universal Studios  Available from Amazon  $37.99  on 8-11-2008     Nicknamed the "Not Ready for Prime Time Players," the original cast of Saturday Night Live ignited a comedy revolution with their mix of irreverent characters and satirical impressions of political figures and pop culture icons. From the premiere of this groundbreaking sketch comedy show on October 11, 1975, live from historic Studio 8H in New York City's Rockefeller Center, Dan Aykroyd, John Belushi, Jane Curtin, Chevy Chase, Garrett Morris, Laraine Newman, and Gilda Radner launched themselves into instant stardom and were often referred to as "The Beatles of Comedy." Created by Lorne Michaels over three decades ago, Saturday Night Live has had the cultural impact and relevance that few shows can claim. Nowhere else can you see the complete first season of SNL, featuring hosts George Carlin, Rob Reiner, Lily Tomlin, Richard Pryor, Elliott Gould, Candice Bergen, or original musical performances by Simon & Garfunkel, ABBA, Patti Smith, Jimmy Cliff, and Carly Simon. And if you're curious as to how the original cast was hired, check out the DVD bonus features, which include the screen tests of each performer. Reader Reviews OK, lets say you are a bit "down and out", maybe you're on a limited or fixed income, and have little or no money set aside for entertainment. What do you do? Well friend, I have the answer. All you need is a TV set, a DVD player and about $!50.00. The first thing you do is cancel your cable and or satellite TV subscription. Then go and buy yourself the first three seasons of "Saturday Night Live". You now have a cross section of all of the best TV ever produced for all time. And when you finally go through all three of these collections, you will be ready to start over again. OK, what about the independantly wealthy? You still can't go wrong with these shows. The only difference is that you can afford to watch them on a bigger more fancy television set. There has never been a greater compilation of talented actors, musicians, and public officials in the history of TV. So even if you're rich, it's still "ALL YOU WILL EVER NEED" (These are a must for "baby boomers" rich or poor)
