I got the VHS set. So far I watched the first tape. Yes, this is essentially the show I remember watching back in 1979. The show with Elliott Gould was a little longer than the one with Steve Martin, but must have been edited because that particular one was 90 minutes (most were one hour)...

The one-hour 1981 syndicated "Saturday Night" was distributed by Filmways. A couple years later I saw the 30-minute version, called "The Best Of Saturday Night" -- the one where the segments would freeze frame and be turned into Edie Baskin style portraits when they would go to a commercial...

I remember seeing "Weekend" listed in TV Guide but I never watched it. I believe it aired until circa 1978. Starting in Season 4, they would do three live shows a month and then the fourth week (if it wasn't otherwise pre-empted) would be a rerun from an earlier season (reruns from the current...

One thing I would like to compile is a schedule of reruns which ran in "off weeks" during the regular season as well as the summer months. I have toyed with the idea of watching them in the same sequence they aired back then when I was watching during seasons 4 and 5, including reruns of the...

The first five seasons of "Saturday Night Live" have been on DVD for years, so this might be kind of moot, but I remember watching a compilation series called "The Best Of Saturday Night Live" which aired (IIRC) for 13 weeks during the 1979-80 season. It was preceded by at least one (maybe two?)...
