This review is from: Saturday Night Live Season 4 (Amazon Instant Video)
When Rick Nelson was the guest host I was surprised. SNL was considered the hippest show on tv in 1979 and for many Rick didn't fit that description. His musical selections were great. Starting of with three of his greatest songs. Hello Mary Lou, Travelin' Man and Fools Rush In. Then after the break one of best sketches ever Twilight Zone. Where Rick walks into every 50's family comedy show. Tremendous laughs!! The only sketch that didn't do much was the barber shop scene. Judy Collins was terrible as the special musical guest but Rick returned with his newest release Dream Lover. It should have been a hit!! Check out this episode you won't regret it!!

This review is from: Saturday Night Live Season 4 (Amazon Instant Video)
I purchased three episodes of the old SNL with an Amazon coupon I received for "unbox." My husband and I tend to fondly remember the "old" SNL, putting it up on a pedestal and dissing the new SNL. Watching this episode, we decided that nothing has changed in the past 35 years of SNL. The show has moments of brilliance and moments of mind-numbing dullness. This episode falls into the latter category. The sketches were unfunny or dated or both. Some of it we were unable to "get," possibly because we were too young when the show came out. Choose a different hosting night to purchase and you'll be fine. For me, the only funny segment was "Quien es mas macho" with Bill Murray doing a pretty good job of hosting a game show 100% in Spanish. Of course, then even that skit degrades and goes from funny to offensive.
