Editorial Reviews

Following the departure of the show's original cast and creator after five seasons, SNL in the '80s is a look back at a decade of turbulent, often uncertain times that included the hiring and firing of several casts, numerous writers, producers and ultimately the revitalization of the show with the return of executive producer Lorne Michaels. Documentary filmmaker Kenneth Bowser juxtaposes '80s musical acts from the show to illustrate the mood of the times with interviews and stories from SNL alumni Billy Crystal, Martin Short, Gilbert Gottfried, Jim Belushi, Julia Louis-Dreyfus, Al Franken, Kevin Nealon, Nora Dunn, Jon Lovitz, Dana Carvey, Robert Smigel, and Conan O'Brien to give you a first-hand look at the highs and lows that occurred behind the scenes. SNL in the '80s also features rare performances by artists James Brown, Queen, Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers, Bonnie Raitt, Roy Orbison, Elvis Costello, Harry Connick, Jr., Don Henley and The Kinks as well as interviews and footage that have never been seen before!

This is a well put together documentary that covers the 1980s pretty comprehensively. There are interviews with most of the major players: Lorne Michaels, Dick Ebersol, Dana Carvey, Billy Crystal, Kevin Nealon, Martin Short, Julia Louis-Dreyfous.... Missing some folks like Dennis Miller, Eddie Murphy, Christopher Guest. There are great excerpts of clips and some backstage photos I'd never seen before. The infamous Charlie Rocket "f-bomb" is shown (though still bleeped.)

One annoying aspect is the musical guests. They throw in musical guests in a very corny "Behind the Music" way. If the cast is feeling a lot of "pressure" in 1980, they will throw in a clip of Queen singing "Under Pressure" in 1982. If Dick Ebersol is said to be protecting them from NBC brass in 1983, they cut to a clip of "Shelter" by Lone Justice from maybe 1987. It's completely contrived and takes you away from the "feel" of the time period being covered. I also would have liked to see some discussion of the bands featured: how they were chosen, some stories behind some of the appearances, which ones were the greatest.

The other complaint I have is that the DVD's title is misleading. "Lost and Found" kind of implies you'll see great full sketches. Nope. This is just a little documentary. I did not mind as I enjoy the behind the scenes looks and discussions, but definitely misleading.

Enjoyable program. What was amazing was just how awful the early 80s was (aside from Murphy and the Crystal/Guest year) and then how strong it became in the late 80s with Hartman, Carvey, Lovitz, etc.

They should really make these full episodes available to watch on Hulu or Netflix. I think aside from the 60 minute edited versions that aired on Comedy Central back in the early 90's, some of these have not been shown since they aired live. Even the "bad" years had great musical guests that would be enjoyable to see.

The Phantom

Probably doesn't go deep enough

Reviewed in the United States on June 17, 2014

It's hard not to like taking a dip into the period of "SNL" history that is least known, remembered, or cared about. But I felt that this presentation was lacking a bit in depth, even considering the two-hour run time (which includes bonus content).

Most of this seems to focus on the fact that Lorne Michaels WASN'T there throughout the first half of the '80s. Not a whole bunch of showcasing sketches. Less time was spent on the latter part of the decade when the show really made its resurgence (thanks in large part to the 15th anniversary special, not mentioned here).

As interesting as it is, this just feels incomplete to me, and lacking in details that I think might have made it far better.

More Steinbrenner Season, Please!

Since the 45 Anniversary special I have been thinking about the older years of SNL, particularly season 10. 1984/1985 was the first year I started watching, and I have fond memories of Martin Short, Billy Crystal, Rich Hall, et.al. For that reason, I was excited to learn of this "Lost & Found" special. It is quite well-done, offering a pretty thorough look at each season from the cast and crews involved. It's really interesting to hear about the train wreck of seasons six and eleven (unfortunately I remember the latter), and how they righted the ship with Eddie Murphy, and later with Dana Carvey and crew. However, the period I really wanted to learn more about was season 10, and it had some cool insight from Short, Crystal, Julia Louise-Dreyfuss, Gary Kroeger, Mary Gross, and producer Dick Ebersol. I would have given this video five stars if it included even more from that all-star season... the brilliant Rich Hall, in particular, doesn't even get a mention. That said, I look forward to watching the special again. It weaves interesting music guests and some memorable sketches into the narrative, and it was great to see what the cast members look like today. One of the writers from my beloved season 10 mentions that the show is never as good as you remember when you were in high school, and that's pretty accurate (except for that painful season 11)!

From the title I expected this to be old episodes of SNL. But it is actually just a documentary about the show and cast members.

I love this DVD. I remember watching SNL in the 1980's, and thought how awful the first few seasons were. After watching this DVD 30 years later, I now have a greater appreciation for the talent which was moved on and off the stage on a conveyor belt of mismanagement.

Those young people were faced with an impossible task, but kept the show together until Lorne Michaels could finally right the ship.

This is a great DVD for anyone who loves SNL.

PART 2 IN SNL'S RICH HISTORY!

Reviewed in Canada on February 9, 2015

Verified Purchase

This is an Awesome follow up to the documentary SNL the first five years. SNL in the 80s Lost and found, picks up where The First Five Years left off.
The first season in the 80s started off with an all new SNL cast. All the greats of the 1st 5 years (Bill Murray, Dan Ackroyd, John Belushi, Chevy Chase, etc) were all gone, even the shows creator & producer Lorne Micheals had quit. Would SNL survive with a group of unknowns?
TV audiences were outraged at first, has Gilbert Gottfried, who was one of the new cast members states it was like replacing all the members of the beatles in their heyday with new ones.
This is 2 1/2 hrs of rich history of SNL through out the 80s, with various cast changes, unknowns who would go on to Superstardom. Controversies such has cast members dropping the F-bomb on live TV.
Looking forward to the 3rd & more in this series of SNL history documentaries.
