Comedy treasures!!

I completely agree with Brian. I have every SNL show on DVD from the beginning to the last ones with the "Not Ready For Prime Time Players" in it. It was a breakout production, Lorne Michaels demanding freedom of script, cast and final content. We all have our favorite actors,, mine being Danny Ackroyd and Gilda Radner.. plainly the biggest genius talents there. Unfortunately for all, the continued heavy use of coke and various other drugs, brought the quality and content down after a few years. Nobody could top Weekend Update with Danny and Jane, Gilda, breaking big barriers for that era. Gilda was bursting with characters(Roseanne Roseannadanna, Emily Latilla, the Brownie, Todd's(Bill Murray) geeky, wet-nosed girlfriend,etc.. Jane interviewing Danny as his Halloween costumes, fireworks,etc were dangers to all but him... I LOVE my DVD set!!
