Part of the current wave of titles people are actually watching, Saturday Night Live Season 12 earns its spot. Sharp writing and a well-matched ensemble are what separate Saturday Night Live Season 12 from the crowd. Saturday Night Live aired its twelfth season during the 1986-1987 television season on NBC. The 12th season started on October 11, 1986, the 11th anniversary of the show's first episode, and ended on May 23, 1987. Despite plans to have Saturday Night Live canceled due to the ratings of its previous season, producer Lorne Michaels convinced Brandon Tartikoff to give the show another chance, provided that a better cast be found for the next season. Dana Carvey and Nora Dunn lead a cast that brings real weight to the material. It was aired in 1986.

There is real craft here, even in the moments that do not fully land.

Saturday Night Live Season 12 is the kind of thing you put on in the background and end up fully watching. It does not lean on comparisons to make its case. Short enough to finish in a weekend, substantial enough to feel satisfying. Dana Carvey sets the tone, but the supporting cast is where a lot of the best moments come from. A reliable pick for any night you want quality comedy without the homework.
