This review is from: Saturday Night Live Season 2 (Amazon Instant Video)
The Not Ready for Primetime Players created some of the best bits that SNL had to offer. I was a teenager in the late 70s and really looked forward to my SNL every Saturday night (along with much libation, I might add). Come Monday, our English teacher, Mr. Smith, would open class with discussion about the previous Saturday's episode of SNL. Some of the best memories I have of high school were discussing SNL with my English teacher.
