Too long

Too Lame

1. I'll take a dial down of political sketches as a sign the USA is righting

the ship from where it had been turtled the last 4 years.

2. On that point, yes.

But *that* cold open sucked

4. Yeah - i tuned out.

[question everything]

3. I hate to think that this is how the "real" broadcast is.. I don't watch it

5. Yeah the whole show blew, even Weekend Update.

6. I watched the open and then turned it off to play some music

and read the latest posts on DU. Looks like I didn't miss anything.

8. SNL has been hot garbage for a long time.

Even the Trump/Giuliani stuff that is so popular here was only kind of funny the first couple of times they showed it. After that: same shit, different day.

It's so bad, I can't believe the people on the show have a background in improv. Their sketches don't go anywhere. Doing funny impersonations alone doesn't cut it, unless you're entertaining your in-laws over dessert at the dinner table.

9. SNL hasn't been really good for a long time......

I don’t bother to watch.
