SNL Streaming Video Guide

Steve Carell hosted the first SNL episode in HD, October 1, 2005.



Many later episodes are missing sections, sometimes more than half the episode, due to music and other copy rights.

Personal experience: When attempting to skip ahead, Netflix took an absurd amount of time to buffer the video. Hulu added commercials after two weeks, after about eighty episodes-- what the hell?

Recommendation for casual viewers: Watch Seasons 1-4 and 12-20 on Netflix. Otherwise, skim through the episodes list and just watch the episodes where you like the host or musical guest.

Recommendation for completists: Get Netflix.
