Review:
If you're like me you only watch "Saturday Night Live" if you're bored our of your gourd or some of your friends are in the featured band. I hate to say it, but the show is simply not funny anymore. And even during the frenetic heyday of SNL, there was a similar show, self-consciously called "Second City TV" that many media afficianados feel was vastly superior to SNL (and in fact, many SNL cast and production staff came to Gotham by way of SCTV, only to be eaten alive).
Review:
This is a fun book about an important period of American televisied humor and the people that made it worth watching.
Dave Thomas brings an insider's insight and a performer's eye for absurd detail to this glorious reconstructioin of one of the funnies television shows ever to hit the airwaves. With contributions by cast members and production staff, and pictures from the show's archives and from private collections... -- The Publisher
