I grew up watching the Farley/Sandler era SNL and have pretty much ditched the show since Ferrell left. I watched the Drew Barrymore episode the other day (on demand), this was the first episode I’ve seen in ages and… it just didn’t do it for me. The opening Obama sketch was lifeless and dull. Gilly is a recurring character? I was bored after a minute or so with the one sketch I saw of that. Now that NBC puts them up on demand (thumbs up on that) I will try to catch more of them though.

Yeah, you can catch them all on Hulu.

SNL lost me a long time ago. I’ve never even tried to find out if it’s worth watching again, as I’m usually not around to watch TV on Saturday nights anyway.

Do they run any episodes online? It might be worth trying to find a couple if it has gotten funny again. I’ll have to get used to all of the cast members, though.

saying it’s better than it was in the 90s might be accurate, but it’s still too hit and miss for me to consider it roundly funny again.

SNL is neutered-they’ve completely failed at satirizing the ripe-for-ridicule Obama administration. Their political sketches have no teeth whatsoever and are bland and completely boring. A major wasted opportunity.

I’ll admit the Target Lady bit (I know what you meant) wears on me a bit, too, but I really liked it when Justin Timberlake joined in.

Maybe you’ll like her more if she’s not featured so prominently. She could probably use some rest.

I will admit that Wigg does do a few good impressions and she has had a couple of good characters, both Penelope, and Gilly killed me the first time around but Gilly should have been retired after the first sketch, Penelope after the second. the K-mart lady was funny but doesn’t need to be revisited, other than that though she plays every character the exact same way and has become incredibly annoying, I do not understand why everyone seems to love her.

I don’t dislike Forte at all; I just think he’s not really integral to the show right now, what with the other, stronger cast members.

I like how you put it – the show is like a wave. Right now it’s peaking.

Moynihan has a lot of potential. He was great in this past week’s “Swine Fever” bit.

Thanks for reading.
