I saw this when it originally aired and it still holds up. Albert Brooks is the BEST.

At age 10, I didn't get "Stay away from the sheep!"

“Save the Cat” bought me here. ‘The Three of Us” is too funny 😂

If this isn't one of the absolute best things ever......Albert Brooks has always been in his own category.

these shows are better than what's on TV now.

Beyond clever and a zeitgeist of that era that's made me nostalgic. Oh, Kay Lenz too!

That shot from "Black Vet" where the vet is holding the horse's bridles and laughing is one of the best TV send-ups in history. Although pretty much all of "The 3 Us" is spot on lame-o 70's style TV titilation a la Three's Company, etc.

Black Vet laughing joyously while holding the horse's reins is the funniest moment bar none.

I am SO happy to have read your comment,and Rockfish's.That shot is deeply embedded in my memory from the time I saw it when it first aired back then.It's so incredibly odd and yet also an absolutely spot on perfect example of a type of snippet featured in the coming attractions of a 70's tv movie or dramatic series.I'm not sure if someone can completely relate to it if they're not familiar with tv from the period,but if you are it's a moment of truly brilliant satire.

I'm 48, I remember seeing this is a kid. I haven't seen this in many years but the part I remember the most is where he laughs at the end with the horse. I also remembered the Death of a Salesman acted totally by children bit.

This 1975 film preceded “Three’s Company” by 1½ years. So life (ABC & Nicholl Ross West) imitated art (Brooks) , not the other way around. Now if we want to stretch the point and declare that something this was a send-up of the antecedent British sitcom “Man About the House,” that is another matter.

I saw this when I was about 10 years old and that shot made me laugh then. Note that "The 3 of Us" famously came out before Three's Company. Although, lame 'sex humor' was in the zeitgeist already

"I'm NOT the KIND of VET that believes in drowning CATS, except the kind that go after my WIFE."

I was only 10 when I first saw this on the first season of SNL. I didn't quite get it, but I knew there was something funny about it. A year or two later when I saw it again, OMG it was one of the funniest things I'd ever seen! Sarcasm is something that kids just don't get. They're not self-aware enough to..

Love the old doctor in first segment.

Stay away from the sheep 🤣

I remember the first one (I think) that he did for SNL, where he was a experimental surgeon and the patient was an old man singing Take Me Out to the Ballgame. . kept singing 'Give me some peanuts and Crackerjacks' over & over. I can't seem to find it anywhere

always loved Kay Lenz. she so personified the 70s sitcom girl

Thank you for uploading this! Been looking for it for years

This is my favorite Albert Brooks short by far. All of them were good though, well the very last one was kind of a drag. Dumb move by Michaels to let him go; he shoulda came back for 5 or 10 shows a year thru those 5 years he did some funny stuff and was a big miss for the show. He certainly was better than Gary Weis that's for sure. Hard to pick which one was the best for me. As a teen I loved Black Vet because I got the parody of southern life and now I get the PTSD references. But I've grown to like the Two of Us better because I finally get the point of what Albert's pestering them about.. lol. "PLEASE! I got jam!"

Love this! Now post "The Impossible Truth" another Albert Brooks snl film.

the origins of "House"

I love black vet.

Where is the film he did for SNL back in '75 where he had a comedy institute that was a test site? It was funny as hell.

If Magnum P.I. could afford a red Ferrari, why couldn’t Black Vet drive a black 'vette?

Nice memories

Black vet. Southern Man with a racist dog. Hilarious and we can't do stuff like this anymore

What is the name of the actor who played the older doctor? He’s got some killer lines in this one and he also appeared in other Albert Brooks SNL films
