BTW, This is a very much needed and desired topic on You Tube. You have 50 years to do. This is amazing info we all love. Thank you kindly for this series!
I really like that you keep these videos punchy. I can't watch those two hour deep dives. Your videos are just right for this medium.
As an enjoyer of the two hour deep dives, I think these guys would make a great one
@@44Gulick I agree and there is certainly a ton to say about this season. I do respect that they are keeping these quick for new fans.
For me the deep dive is just rewatching the season in question.
Thank you so much!
they're effectively ads for peacock, but I don't mind.
OMG - so many wonderful memories...of my family, who have since moved on.
Can’t wait for Season 5.
This series is my new favorite and I look forward to new episodes.
I used to be a big fan of SNL & these shows remind me of why I loved SNL.
I remember so many of these moments, including Cicily Tyson being interviewed by Garrett Morris ("Say WHAAAAT???"), and Rick Nelson's episode may be my ALL-TIME favorite. (Shocking that when it was first-run, I walked in halfway thru, having just gotten home from a live pro wrestling show in Philly.)
Hope the one for Season 6 is like twice as long - so much to talk about. :)
I started my senior year of high school with this season, and thanks to Steve Martin every person who signed my yearbook wrote "To Doug, a wild and crazy guy!"
Looking forward to more of these!
I was 10 when the first episode aired. My newly separated mom was tired from work, so I would stay up late to watch SNL. I didn't understand most of it at that age (but I loved the bees), but I thought it was this cool ass thing I found to be a rebel about - sneaking late night TV that probably wasn't intended for me. Have watched since. Through Season 6, through Season 11, and all the highs, lows, and just "meh" over the decades, I'm still watching.
Love this series, I hope y'all intend on carrying it out to its conclusion of all 49 seasons so far.
These are my new addiction
Another great recap. Thanks for making these.
These are so darned good, keep them coming!
I love these breakdowns! It's a legendary show that deserves such honorable recognition! Keep up the great work!!
Thanks for these fine season retrospectives. One correction: Laraine voiced Mrs. Ed.
These are really great episodes and I am looking forward to seeing other content you guys do
Thoroughly enjoying every second💯💯💯
This episode on season 4 should be excellent.
Thanks again for a great video, peeking into a season which was probably SNL at its peak of pop culture influence and arguably its arrogance (either that or the early '90s). I tend to call seasons 4-7 SNL's dystopian era, often very bleak and wrapped in a sense of anger and loss, probably matching the world it was made in. My favorite part of this season is The Mall set of sketches written by Don Novello. They feel very natural, melancholy, and slowly build a world - a world that we just as slowly see is dying. They have aged extremely well, and I wish SNL would put the sketches on their TH-cam channel.
I will never not be amused by the sight of ticked off Dan Aykroyd in his sunglasses behind Milton Berle. Their reception to Palin in the next episode says it all on how they felt about Berle.
This season is also notable for being the debut of the enigmatic Yvonne Hudson, later to join the cast for part of season 6.
Supposedly Muhammad Ali was the first choice to host the episode Fred Willard ends up hosting.
What made the Zappa week worse for the cast and crew was that apparently when he was a musical guest a season or two earlier, they all loved him. That's why they asked him to host.
Oh there have been far more arrogant eras. S19-20 is near the top, and especially the Tina Fey era. And Idk if it’s too soon to say, but I do think this past era we came out of is a good example.
Thanks Ken! You are incredible resource to fans of the show who want to dive in even deeper, so please keep posting these extra tidbits in the comments section
@@gelp6801 I'd definitely agree about 19-20 and the Fey years, but I always put season 4 above because they spent the whole season going after their network president. They just would never get away with that, or try, later on.
@@thesnlnetwork That means a lot. One more, if anyone is reading this - Bob and Ray were in a special that aired during this season (produced by Lorne, and one that helped Jean Doumanian get to take over the show in season 6): Bob, Ray, Jane, Laraine and Gilda. And right before season 4 began, NBC aired a special, Things We Did Last Summer, with comedy sketches featuring each cast member over the summer. Jane Curtin's segment (she went to Graceland) was cut from later repeats/releases.
Another great recap.
But:
6:21 - That's "relegated" (not "regulated").
7:50 - That's "nuclear" (not "nucular", which is not a word).
Why did John Belushi and Fred Silverman have a fued?
I always liked the Uncle Roy sketches but I was 7 so I had no idea what they were about.
Hard to believe Gilda's been gone for 35 years.😔
I think 12 minutes brief recap is a bit light. But there are a lot of books out there with more detail. So I guess Coles notes of a year by year is not that bad
We will go a little longer on some future seasons that need more detail!
I don't think anything can prepare anyone for Frank Zappa and Milton Berle but ok lol
The show Zappa hosted had one of my favorite sketches, Frank Zappa Goes to Freak Mountain. They offer him the chance to spend the night sleeping beneath the steps with Belushi's character Windowpane. Got a kick out of the way Belishi ran his hand in front of face throughout the skit, an indication that he was no novice where psychedelic's are concerned... 🤔or so I'm told by other people who knew about that kind of stuff.
I was hoping I might see another of my favorites that I can't find anywhere, the one where Belushi plays the CIA agent in Iran and Lorraine Newman is the valley girl receptionist who explains to him why the Shah is crying; "The people don't like the Shah anymore." Belushi's retort is classic: "Whadaya mean, they're crazy about the Shah," this after he was complaining about having to fight through the angry mob to get to the embassy.
Anyway, when Belushi checked out so did I. I reckon that means I'll be checking out here as well but I did enjoy the trip down memory lane. Thanks for sharing.
If it helps your search any that Iran sketch is from the Cicely Tyson episode.
@@kengeorgejones6855 Thanks, I'll give it a shot. The other two video's I'd love to find if they exist is the Salvation Army Band playing Staying Alive on Fernwood Tonight and Jose Feliciano playing Taking It To The Streets with Doc and the guys on the Tonight Show back in the 70s. Loved his rendition. Jose always plugged in when Johnny had him on. If you have any details on either of those you rock 1,000%!
I can not wait to see your review of the train wreck that is season six.
Coming up very soon!
As bad as Zappa was, he was still a better host than Steven Seagal.
I am very picky about my subscriptions and I subscribe to you guys because you put on a good show about SNL. Keep up the good work but I will probably quit watching after the 94 season because it quit being funny at that point. When they lost Farley, it quit being funny
Thank you for subscribing! It means a lot
The show shit the bed after the Dana Carvey, Mike Myers, Phil Hartman, Tim Meadows era.
Relegated, not regulated.
Yeah, that was pretty bad.
Gary Busey wow
Also Richard Benjamin is one of the most underrated actors of all time
God I hate Milton Berle
Frank Zappa and his too cool to care got really boring really fast
