ALL of SNL library to Peacock

[Bob Jersey]

As much as the lawyers say they can have... it's not clear if musical-guest performances or contracted shorts like, f'rinstance, those of Lonely Island would be included...

Is the Milton Berle episode included? That alone would be worth the price of admission.

Comcast's VOD has all 45 seasons including the Berle show.  I'm not sure if the Louise Lasser show is though.

When SNL went to streaming years ago they put the DVD sets of each season on sale at a deep discount and I bought the first season. At the time it aired it might have seemed notorious but after hundreds of episodes and lots of high points and low points for the show it really is just another episode. Maybe the train wreck is enhanced but it's impossible to figure out what's going on without getting Lasser's story from an outside source. Although I do remember she did come out and talk to the audience about her arrest without any added schtick.

I bought the first 5 season DVD sets when they came out.  All the episodes are included and complete as far as I know.  Lasser and Berle too

It’s still the same edits that we’ve seen for years. Some of the episodes aren’t even 30 minutes long. 

The Stevie Womder episode is missing the opening talent agent sketch where Eddie Murphy trachea his client (Stevie Wonder) how to be Stevie Wonder. 

Disappointed. 

[Greg Diener]

It probably is. I bought the Louise Lasser episode for purchase on my Xbox 360 back in the Late 2000's and it was as bad as advertised.

Trains, not trachea. I also hate the new Google Groups interface.

Yes, the Louise Lasser episode is on there. I watched part way through her opening monologue. She jokes she can't say if it's going to be a great show because she doesn't know. She says she doesn't know why Lorne asked to be on the show because she can't tell jokes and isn't an orator. She said Lorne told her to just wing it. I got to where she tells an anecdote about going to lunch with her goof friend, Jack Nicholson, and turned it off.

I think of early SNL as being more like an indie film than a variety series. It was clear in the first season that Lorne and the writers didn't have an idea of what the show should be and who would be good guest hosts and acts. First season shows are a mix of what was left of the sixties counterculture, the mid-seventies New York sensibility, and rock era cool. And then about halfway through the season the cast became rock stars and they began to talk about their new circumstances on the show.

The Lasser episode came from before the show hit its stride. The producers let her shape a lot of the show and it's different from other episodes.

I think that can be said of most variety shows. I’ve been watching early episodes of Carol Burnett show. Lots of guest stars appeared and did their own thing, including Tim Conway before he was a cast member. Carol attempted some semi-autobiographical sketches that fell very flat, and they had on vaudeville veterans like Bob Hope that felt very forced

The Carol Burnett shows are frustrating too.  Amazon and Shout Factory streaming

have all the Carol Burnett shows, but only 22 minutes of each show (a few episodes

get a second part) even the earlier shows that were never part of the Carol

Burnett and Friends syndication package.    Shout Factory streaming has

2 different Tim Conway solo series (13 weeks of course) which appear to

be complete shows of 50 minutes each.
