SNL officially died for me when they fired norm macdonald from the news for 'not being funny'. Since then, i havent watched.
Will Ferrell was great, Will Forte is sweet, Hader is pretty funny, Armisen is hilarious. darrell hammond is still hilarious. andy samberg is getting better, the digital shorts are almost always good. kristen wigg is pretty funny too. this cast is way better than it has been in a long time now that we're talking about the cast a bit.

    I don't give the shows I watch a chance to be funny if it sucks for an entire season. If a show sucks, it sucks, and funnier shows will get the ratings. I watch always sunny, I watched arrested development, the office, family guy, 30 rock, etc etc.

    Unfortunately SNL has failed to be funny on any consistent basis for a good decade. One great castmember does not make up for a lot of shitty ones. I know the cast is talented now, but they dont have chemistry.

    if they didn't have to keep it PG-13 it'd be way better. if they could get away with half the shit south park does it would kick ass probably. it's on late enough, just rate the bitch MA and let them say shit a bunch. maybe an F bomb or two. it would add some flavor to it. it wouldn't as watered down.

    The cast has TONS of chemistry. Like someone said a couple posts up though, the writing is just not too great. There really isn't a bad main cast member on SNL right now. But the writing has also been better than it was between like 2002-2007.

    Sorry, but that is ridiculous reasoning for it not being funny. They've done it for 35 years with better results that they're doing now. If they have to say "F bombs" and use frat humor to do it all the time, they're poor writers. As it is, last week they had a digital short about walking on someone using the bathroom and an entire skit dedicated to gas. There are tons of funnier shows on tv at earlier hours that don't have to resort to that. The writing right now is awful.

    it's almost 2010, I wish censorship would loosen up. I think it hinders today's comedy since things are far more open than they were 35years ago.

    It amazes me there was something worthy of pushing that sketch off the air. Must have been a good episode.
