Saturday Night Live

SNL is better than ever. After a bit of a slump in the early 2000's, 20 years later and it couldn't be funnier. Anyone that says any different just says so because they make fun of the president. They have made fun of every president during the entire 45 years of its existence. So people who don't like the show now will like it again when the opposition regains office. Always good for a laugh

An earlier reviewer said this show sucks and that the "new cast" is terrible. What is interesting about SNL is how whenever there is a changeover of cast, it has become almost a tradition to hate the newcomers. In truth, however, many of the episodes that have aired in recent years -- even since the 1998 review I refer to -- have now come to be considered classics. And the cast members so many of us hated at first are now often seen in a favorable light alongside the "classic" cast of the late 1970s. And what cannot be denied is no TV program in history has been such a fertile breeding ground for future stars. Just look at the cast list and be amazed.

This show used to be so great, but now it is sooooo boring. Even though Will Ferrell adds a tiny bit of humor to the show, it still doesn't make up for the crappy jokes. This show was good, until Norm MacDonald left. Go watch the old episodes shown on Comedy Central for good SNL.

I like to describe this show like a on and off relationship because one year this show is funny and the next it sucks and it's like that year after year. Still it always manages to make you laugh and it has been the breakthrough show for some of the greatest comedians of all-time.

Saturday night live have been around for a good while now. The fact that the show have fostered many of the greatest comedians and writers should be recognized and celebrated. But due to the amount of episodes the show is very uneven. It spawned some of the best and most quotable comedy sketches but the bad ones outnumber them by a wide margin. The average grade is around 4/10 but you can't grade it without taking the contribution to comedy into account that raises the grade. But the show is not worth seeing every week. It's better to just see the good sketches on their YouTube page.
