I REALLY wanted to see SATURDAY NIGHT in theaters when it came out, but the timing didn’t work, dammit. It comes out on DVD next week, though. That’ll just have to do.

PS: I was *just* old enough to be allowed to catch some of the shows because of Mr. Bill. There’s a reason I turned out the way I did.
What is that somebody said about Saturday Night Live? “You can only be avant-garde for so long before you just become garde?” All that being said: SATURDAY NIGHT itself looks like it could be good. Or else incredibly indulgent of Lorne Michaels. Possibly both! It all depends on whether they focus on the antics of a bunch of very funny yet often mildly horrible young people, all of whom are under intense time pressure, and also the influence of cocaine. Because the first season of that show makes no sense without cocaine.
