Wish It Included More of His Memorable Moments on SNL But Well Worth It
What can I say? My husband loves it but does mention some skits aren't included in this release. It would be nice to have a collection of Dan Akroyd's best, meaning it would need to be issued in volumes. These are the usual go-to skits, but there are many, many more. He's had a memorable SNL run and truly missed as a cast member. It is a lot of stuff from first couple of seasons, so hopefully (now 2015) they will issue the next volume with more (as others have noted and not worth repeating here). Great asset in our home and great price for a starter "best of".

Aykroyd, The Worst Of
This DVD was full of Aykroyd's lesser known, and therefore not funny, skits. He was one of the best on SNL, but this video doesn't prove that.

Hilarious SNL Classic.
Our family was headed off to a summer reunion vacation and I bought a bunch of these SNL classics for down time at the beach. Well they were a total hit because young nieces and nephews and older family members were howling at the SNL comedy. These were great vacation entertainment.

Comedy gold.
I love Dan Aykroyd. He is a genius comedian, actor, musician, and writer. This collection of his best sketches is also some of the best sketches in the history of SNL.
