Saturday Night Live DVD, Season One (1975-1976)

On the way to a Super Bowl party I stopped at Costco and bought the DVD of Saturday Night Live's first season 1975-1976. After the Super Bowl, when I got home, I watch the first two shows, which were by them selves worth the cost of the DVD. Back in those days SNL still had good musical guests. The first show had Janis Ian singing "At Seventeen" and the Second show in October of 1975 had a reunion of Simon and Garfunkel. They sang the "Boxer", "Scarborough Fair" and "My Little Town" together and Paul sang several songs solo and Art sang one solo. Together they took up most of the show. There was a funny bit with Paul Simon playing one on one basketball with an NBA player. It was great seeing the original "Not Ready for Prime Time Players" when they were young and fresh. Their first season was my second year out of law school living in Medford. After having spent my college years in Eugene, Oregon it was to a certain extent a cultural shock living in "white bread" Medford. A great place to raise a family but not very "hip" and watching Saturday Night Live" late at night on a Saturday was way to escape. I looked around Medford and Costco has the best price on the DVD. It sure takes me back!
