SuperJerk Posted November 14, 2005 Report Posted November 14, 2005 NBC is airing a special tonight giving the highlights and a behind the scenes look at Saturday Night Live in the 1980s. 9pm-11pm Eastern.
SuperJerk Posted November 14, 2005 Author Report Posted November 14, 2005 Pretty good so far, but I don't get why they keeping jumping to random clips of musical acts.
razazteca Posted November 14, 2005 Report Posted November 14, 2005 The music clips are not random it is theme music for the changes being made to the show.
SuperJerk Posted November 14, 2005 Author Report Posted November 14, 2005 The connections aren't always clear though. For example, that Bangles song just came outta nowhere. Glad to see the 1986-1990 cast getting their due.
Spaceman Spiff Posted November 14, 2005 Report Posted November 14, 2005 Seeing Phil Hartman, esp. on the day Eddie Guererro passed away, is really depressing.
KingPK Posted November 14, 2005 Report Posted November 14, 2005 Why is it that Julia Louis Dreyfuss just keeps getting hotter as she gets older?
MDH257 Posted November 14, 2005 Report Posted November 14, 2005 I think using musical performances from the show to illustrate points was better in the last doc. At least then when they were only dealing with 5 years the music seemed to have some timely connection. Here it was a little weird to see them talking about '82 or '83 and then seeing performances that were clearly from '88 or '89. I thought the show was really good though. Hope it's longer on DVD.
razazteca Posted November 15, 2005 Report Posted November 15, 2005 The whole deal with Kevin Nealon with the map was confusing to me.
MDH257 Posted November 15, 2005 Report Posted November 15, 2005 I think showing the monologue about maps was supposed to illustrate "SNL's continuing journey"
