So, I just have to say that the 06-07 season of SNL was probably the best one since Will Ferrel left. Which left me with a lot of optimism for the following season (which, due to writers strike, has only produced about three shows so far :(
But 06-07 was the first season in years without Tina Fey as head writer (I couldn't have been happier!) and the cast and writers do alot throughout the season to play with new ideas and sketches. Andy Samberg introduces the SNL digital shorts, and although he isn't my favorite necessarilly, the digital shorts were pretty good. Here we get the one he did with J.Timb called "D*ck in a box".
The best two shows of the season, were lightyears ahead of the others though, and if you ask me, should have had their own DVD releases. The Alec Baldwin episode was almost flawless... I taped it the second time it was on TV because it was so good. The Drew Barrymore episode was great as well.
This set compiles a good amount of sketches, but not enough from those two episodes. Personally I was just glad that the show was watchable after a few real clunker seasons with Tina Fey. Since the writers strike is still ongoing, its fair to say that you can still (as of 1-27-08) see most of these episodes during the proper Saturday night time slots. Def look out for the above mentioned Alec Baldwin or Drew Barrymore episodes... classic TV in my opinion. Otherwise, this isn't a bad compilation of all the shows of the season. Ok.
