SNL: The Complete Third Season

Continuing the enormous success of the previous two years, the third season of SNL (1977–78) showcased a fearless cast that created some of the most memorable sketches to ever appear on the show.

With hilarious breakthrough characters like “The Nerds” (Bill Murray and Gilda Radner), “Coneheads” (Dan Aykroyd and Jane Curtin), “Nick the Lounge Singer” (Bill Murray), “Samurai” (John Belushi), a singing King Tut (legendary SNL host Steve Martin), and featuring “Father Guido Sarducci” (Don Novello) as well as “The Franken and Davis Show” (Al Franken and Tom Davis), SNL continued to define itself as the pinnacle of irreverent humor and political satire.

SNL: The Complete Fourth Season

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).
