SNL For Serious

Saturday Night Live. Every episode. In a row. Seriously. var _gaq = _gaq || []; _gaq.push(['_setAccount', 'UA-10537761-3']); _gaq.push(['_trackPageview']); (function() { var ga = document.createElement('script'); ga.type = 'text/javascript'; ga.async = true; ga.src = ('https:' == document.location.protocol ? 'https://ssl' : 'http://www') + '.google-analytics.com/ga.js'; var s = document.getElementsByTagName('script')[0]; s.parentNode.insertBefore(ga, s); })();

Season 2, Episode 3

The real Joe Cocker finally appears on SNL. His bare tummy also has a cameo and I'm pretty sure his pants are unbuttoned. Uh, yeah.

Season 2, Episode 3

I don't even want to know what those bee costumes had to smell like by season 2.

Season 2, Episode 3

Look at this fucking hipster Dan Aykroyd.

Season 2, Episode 3

Eric Idle hosts. Odds are good that this will be a solid episode.

Season 2, Episode 3

He's Richard Belzer and you're not.

Season 2, Episode 2

Whoa! So that's why he wears a hat - to cover up that Larry David look.

Season 2, Episode 2

This is Norman Lear's daughter. She is to blame for Boz Scaggs.  Boo to her! (She's probably a nice girl but Boz Scaggs is way too smooth jazz for my taste.)

Season 2, Episode 2

The girls sing a lovely song about the absent Chevy. SO GOOD. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.

Season 2, Episode 2

Jane Curtin fills in for Chevy as the Weekend Update anchor because his groin is all ouch-y hurt-y.

Season 2, Episode 2

It looks like everybody was rocking the open neck look in the 70s.

[snlforserious]

Season 2, Episode 2

Boz Scaggs got to be the musical guest at the special request of Norman Lear. Apparently Norman's daughter had a total boner for Boz-y Baby. God knows why, because this guy positively reeks of the 70s.

Season 2, Episode 2

Hello, cameos!

Season 2, Episode 2

Norman Lear, the creative genius behind some of the most beloved television shows of the 1970s (All in the Family, Maude, The Jeffersons, Good Times, plus about a million more), hosted the second episode of the season. He's a random choice but luckily he's rather charming indeed.

Season 2, Episode 2

After seriously hurting his groin (ouch!) during the show-opening pratfall of the previous episode, Chevy Chase calls the set from his hospital bed to coach Gilda through the cold open.  Chevy is all professional, baby!

Season 2, Episode 1

OH! Lily Holiday.  I see what they did there.

Season 2, Episode 1

Lily does The Antler Dance, whatever that is.
