I appreciate the effort..


..I saw the first SNL episode back in 1975 and was a big fan for many years..all the way up to 2013. And I read that book "Live From New York!.." and they document a lot of what happened right up to the first time SNL went on the air. I don't know if anyone involved with writing "Live From New York!.." was involved in this movie, you never know.

Anyway, I really couldn't get into the movie..it was kind of Robert Altman-ish. The production and look were very good, the characters were well cast but it just seemed..off.

They should have dramatized some of the anecdotes from the book, they were incredible.
