Returning for a fourth season (1978-1979), the cast and writers of SNL maintained their reputation for hilarious characters and innovative sketch-comedy creating hits such as The Blues Brothers (John Belushi and Dan Aykroyd), Nick the Lounge Singer (Bill Murray), Candy Slice (Gilda Radner), The Loud Family (Jane Curtin), Fred Garvin: Male Prostitute (Dan Aykroyd), and The Nerds (Bill Murray and Gilda Radner). Other favorites include the return of iconic host Steve Martin (with Dan Aykroyd as the “wild and crazy” Festrunk Brothers) and Buck Henry’s inappropriate “Uncle Roy”. The complete fourth season of SNL features classic performances from hosts Fred Willard, Carrie Fisher, Kate Jackson, Milton Berle, Michael Palin, Eric Idle, Elliott Gould, Frank Zappa, Gary Busey, and Walter Matthau. Unforgettable musical guests such as Peter Tosh, Mick Jagger, The Doobie Brothers, Bette Midler, Talking Heads, Devo, Van Morrison, Grateful Dead, Rickie Lee Jones, James Taylor, and the legendary Rolling Stones playing live from studio 8H.

- Superb; TV couldn’t get any better than this
All of my favorite comedians are in it. TV couldn’t get any better. Even though I watched the re-runs a few years ago, I think this DVD set is way better than what you saw on TV. It has all the cool features one would expect. I love the whole first 5 seasons of SNL. 5/5… excellent. This is a collection to own. TV at its best.

- This SNL fourth season DVD set is superb, but will the fifth season get the same treatment?
There isn’t much left to say about the shows or the cast from SNL’s Classic Years that hasn’t already been said and/or written. After watching these shows again all I can say is how amazing and versatile the cast and writers continued to be without resting on their laurels. Back then they didn’t beat recurring characters to death. They kept coming up with great new characters and ideas like Buck Henry’s “Uncle Roy” and the terrific Knights of Columbus sketches. Even the bits that were repeated often, … Read More

- A quick ? for anyone who bought this…
…I’ll remove it from the reviews as soon as an answer could be provided by someone.
Is this set the same as the 1st three in the initial run?…with the “bookcase”-type box and the digipak inside it? All I’ve seen is the pared down version of this box w/no “bookcase”. I’ll buy it if I have to but I’d rather it matched the ones I already have…..THANKS!

- Terrific Comedy Sktis from a First-Rate Cast
“Saturday Night Live: The Complete Fourth Season” is a seven-disc box set containing all the shows from the 1978-1979 season. This is one of the great years of the NBC sketch comedy show, which has just passed its 33rd anniversary. Maybe it’s nostalgia, but it seems the comedy landed a lot more frequently then than in the current season of “SNL.”
Some of the skits in this set include Nick the Lounge Singer (Bill Murray singing the “Star Wars” theme to a uninterested cocktail lounge audience), … Read More

- Best Season Ever
SNL used to be the most inovative and funny show of the late 70’s. It reinvented the variety show with a “supporting cast” and a rotating guest host every week. They knew how to create a funny pieces and keep it moving forward. Every show was not a masterpiece but the hits were more than the misses.
This season had the two best episodes ever with the two most unlikely hosts - Cicley Tyson and Maureen Stapleton.
The following are a list of the 20 guest hosts and musical guests: … Read More
