As a fan of SNL from the beginning, I'd have to say that overall, these collections are poorly edited. Many of these performers BEST work never show up on these compilations.These discs have the feel of a slap-together, push-em-out, sell-them-off quality. Many of the skits are cut and not complete!I remember far funnier stuff that was omitted, while less humorous stuff was included! Many of the skits on these "best of" compilations appear on each others' compilations (one on Ferrell's appears on Walken's. for example) The running time on most of these discs are an hour or LESS! (Could'nt they expand the length of these things to 2 hours or more?? These are supposed to be showcases of these guys BEST work!!!??) I don't really care for the multi-pack compilations either. I think to include Sandler in this package (as well as the 10 performer multi-pack!) is merely to cash-in on his big screen success. He really never contributed much to this show- his screen time was limited, and he really was not much of a comedic presence, much to the disagreement of "Happy Gilmore" fanatics! (I would've included either Hartman, Lovitz, Ackroyd, Carvey..someone who actually carried the show, or was a major player!) My advice-- buy individually who you like, and while watching, think back on some of the funnier stuff that they left out!

I bought this for my husband as a anniversary gift and he loved it. There is a little overlap though - some of the episodes are repeated. Otherwise a great gift.
