As promised after a long hiatus, probably get the next couple up within a few days while I write this. Anyways let's get quickly onto Disc 2 in the same format. Disc 2
Episode 4: Candice Bergen
The Good
- THE LAND SHARK. Comedy genuis.
- Andy Kaufman's Foreign Guy bombing terribly.
The Bad
- Nothing overly bad, a lot of it though is not brilliantly memorable.
Episode 5: Robert Klein
The Good
- the Sam Peckinpah sketch
- The cockroach exterminator sketch.
- Gilda Radner's fire safety tips.
- Loudon Wainwright's musical performance.
The Bad
- Should take time to mention here the amount of times the fake adverts seem to get repeated over the season. Sometimes the ads are funny but not at the third or fourth time they've been repeated.
- Again nothing too bad, it's starting to find it's feet here.
Episode 6: Lily Tomlin
The Good:
- John Belushi as Beethoven. Again comedy genuis.
- The Return of the Land Shark.
- Lily Tomlin is an excellent host.
- Lily Tomlin and the Muppet Scrat (if my memory serves me right). The few times the Muppets are enjoyable in the entire show is when there with a human.
The Bad:
- Nothing really, a strong episode, like anything so some sketches are stronger then the others.
Overall a strong collection of episodes. The show was really starting to find it's feet here and 9/10 does get better as the season goes on. I can still recommend the set at this point. I'm also falling in love more Gilda Radner as the show goes on.
