3.0 out of 5 stars Abridged September 15, 2008
By naturaltz
Funny stuff. Over all I was disappointed because this is not the full show as seen on TV. There are missing skits, as well as a missing musical performance. Buyer beware.

1.0 out of 5 stars Justin Timberlake episode - "Edited" is right! January 5, 2010
By Docktw
Amazon Verified Purchase
The Justin Timberlake episode on Mother's Day, 2009 was one of the funniest SNL episodes ever, but this "edited" version removes several of the best sketches, including "Mother Lover", which is the main reason I bought it in the first place. Don't waste your money, just download it for free on Hulu or NBC. Also, these shows are very slow to start once downloaded (1-2 minutes) and you can't easily fast forward or reverse (3-5 second delay each time). Overall, I'm not very impressed with this new service.

As much as I like Hugh Laurie as a comedian actor, he is a lightweight as a singer and guitar player but he brought good people into this CD.
