The 6/18/77 rerun cuts the ill-fated "Butt County Dance Party" sketch and replaces it with "Victims of Shark Bite" from the George Carlin broadcast. (edit) This is the first episode with the title "Saturday Night" instead of "NBC's Saturday Night." (edit) Photos of the Not Ready For Prime Time Players appear in the opening credits for the first time. (edit)

Norman Bates: [ to camera ] Are you tired of slaving away in a dull, dead-end job? Fed up with meager paychecks that never stretch quite far enough? Sickened and disgusted by missing out on the good things of life? Hi, I'm Norman Bates for The Norman Bates School of Motel Management, here to explain how you can be your own boss while earning money in this rapidly-expanding field. Best of all, you learn at home, right in the privacy of your own shower. I'll show you how to run anything from a tourist home to.. [ camera pans to scary-looking duck trophy on the wall, then back to Norman ] ..a multi-unit motor inn. You'll recieve step-by-step instructions.. [ camera pans to scary-looking owl trophy on the wall, then back to Norman ] ..on how to make reservations and how to determine room rates, how to change the linen, and even little-known tricks of the trade, such as improving customer relations by giving guests a complimentary newspaper in the morning. [ holds up newspaper that reads "Los Angeles Times: SLASHER STRIKES AGAIN!" ] (edit) Chevy Chase: Good evening, I'm not. (edit) Chevy Chase: We never wing it. This would be cheap. It would be cheap to just suddenly…ex tempore…nee, uh, ize. (edit)

During the "Butt County Dance Party" sketch, the video effect with the teletype calling up the criminal records shown in the lower half of the screen plays too early, thus ruining the sketch. After an awkward pause, Dan Aykroyd improvises a way out of the sketch. (edit)

Mrs. Zimmerman: ...and your pantyhose is wrinkly like the elephant's!

This refers to a memorable commercial for L'Eggs Pantyhose from the mid-70's where a women's young daughter embarrasses her when visiting the zoo by telling her that her pantyhose was "wrinkly like the elephant's". (edit)
