Nathan Rabin AV Club The sequence where the rule-following trio patiently wait in line at the bank while pitch-perfect seventies cop-show wah-wah guitar plays in the background was fairly genius. Rated: B+ Sep 12, 2018 Full Review Cameron Archer Film School Rejects SNL was strong enough during the show's second season that Chevy Chase leaving didn't hurt the show at all. Apr 27, 2020 Full Review Will Harris Bullz-Eye.com "Saturday Night Live: The Complete Second Season" is full of classic sketches, classic hosts, and some of the most unique comedic concepts of its time.
