What was called "SNL 1975" is now called "Saturday Night" (the original title of the series--well, technically "NBC's Saturday Night"), but it's still Jason Reitman's telling of the hours before that first telecast--and Sony will release it to theaters on Oct. 11, 50 years to the day of the series premiere:

And Marousek and Sikula will pan it unless it has a scene of Lorne molesting collies. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "TVorNotTV" group.
