Every Season 1 review!


So I've completed my reviews of Season 1 of Saturday Night Live, or NBC's Saturday Night, as it was called during its initial season.  I want to thank everyone who read these reviews and I apologize for the months-long gap between some of the updates.  My off-line life got very busy last year and I had to step back from this project.  I enjoyed watching and reviewing the first season episodes in chronological order and I hope the reviews reflected that enjoyment.


I thought I'd make a "one-stop shopping" page for every review I've posted so far, here they are, click on the episode to read the review:
