That's funny, because I thought every "period" before this had many good points. Seems to me the only funny part of the new SNL cast is Horatio Sanz. Not because he's funny, but because he breaks character so often. And Darrell Hammond's impressions are unfunny and inaccurate. Tina Fey is head writer and it shows. She isn't funny. Robert Smigel alone isn't enough to save this show, and he's been writing for SNL since 1985.

And Conan wasn't a cast member he was a writer.

SNL, Simpsons, and MADtv are no longer funny. They're beating a dead horse. They should have taken a cue from In Living Color and quit while they were ahead.

EDIT: Actually I like some of Hammonds impressions, such as Al Gore, Bill Clinton, Ted Koppel, and Cris Matthews. But more recent ones like Schwarzenegger, Trump, and Cheney aren't as funny to me.

THe other day I saw it was on one of the channels and I thought OH Sweet Sat night live. I'm always hearing how funny it is from movies and shit... That show totally sucks balls. They had that guy from dude wheres my car on.. and he wasn't one bit funny(In movies he usually is funny) then they had this thing that was like a news cast, it was the absolute most least funny thing I ever saw.

this is a recurring idea, much like people saying that the simpsons needs more morals and plot.

its different to everyone, but everyone that says it was the best in the 90s is just nostalgic. ever see the first season? considering the time period that shit was crazy...or when harry shearer and martin short and the other dudes from Best in Show/whatnot did the synchronized swimming bit plus farley, ferrel and whatnot? There have always been hilarious shits there!

But like bse i gotta say im rarely with TV or TV on Sat night. Thats boozing time|

imo i dont know what the fuck all the rave is about family guy.......

ive never really been an SNL fan. its had its moments that have made me laugh, but like MAD TV, i never really get a whole lot of comic pleasure out of it. i prefer stand-up all the way...

Hmm, I remember like, three years ago FOX announced that The Simpsons were getting another seven (I think) seasons. I give The Simpsons two or three more years.
