Talk:Saturday Night Live: The Complete Second Season
From Muppet Wiki
Needed?
I don't think we need this. It's misspelled, of course, but since it's only a single sketch anyway, I don't see why it can't be noted on Saturday Night Live: The Complete First Season, or else rename that article "Saturday Night Live DVDs" or some such. -- Andrew Leal (talk) 21:37, 13 May 2008 (UTC)
- Whoops! I didn't realize I misspelled it. Sorry. There are technically two bits within the episode, but I see your point. --Justin 23:11, 13 May 2008 (UTC)
- I think it should be "Saturday Night Live DVDs" like The Best of the Jimmy Dean Show DVDs. But I don't think just referencing it on the first season DVD page is enough. It might only be a single sketch, but there's just a single sketch on the Nick and Jessca Variety Hour DVD, and just a single sketch on the Ed Sullivan christmas DVD as well, adn they both get their own pages. That's just my opinion though. I understand that since it is in the same series, simply mentioning the second season set might be enough, but I think it would be better to have them both on the same page instead. --Justin 21:22, 14 May 2008 (UTC)
- The single sketch on Nick and Jessica was on a TV special (some of the categorization here needs fixing, that's not really a video appearance) and a new appearance, and more importantly, it's *one* page and the only place to put that information. In this case, everything is already covered on Saturday Night Live and/or The Land of Gorch, and we don't have a seperate page for The Cosby Show DVD release or others where appearances are on DVD (and the Gorch gang's presence in the premiere is really a farewell guest appearance; the main reason a page was created for the first set was because it was so heavy in Muppet content which had never been released in any substantial form before but it was an anomoly even then). We merged The Electric Company DVD page into that article, and really, now that the first set has been out for a good while and not a highly anticipated event (the first season page began as an "in development" to let people know Gorch was coming), there's no real reason the few sentences here couldn't be added to the SNL page. All that aside, the Jimmy Dean Show is a good model, as is renaming the page. If nobody else weighs in, I'll do just that. -- Andrew Leal (talk) 21:56, 14 May 2008 (UTC)
- Okay. Thank you for citing those examples. By the way, I hope it didn't seem like I was trying to fight over what really is a somewhat insignificant page. --Justin 02:02, 15 May 2008 (UTC)
