Xanadu Posted November 9, 2015 Share Posted November 9, 2015 Just wondering what people's thoughts are on this... I think the show was hilarious at one time. Now, not so much. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
x1yyz Posted November 9, 2015 Share Posted November 9, 2015 I don't think I've seen it since the early 80s. Hard to believe it's still around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The 90's were awesome Yes, the 90's were pretty good, and even into the early part of the new millennium (I am remembering the Bush/Gore skits here) but sometime shortly after that, the creativity started fizzling out (for my liking anyway). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rocket ignites Posted November 9, 2015 Share Posted November 9, 2015 For the most part, the show these days is unwatchable. It's usually just random, stupid skits that are rarely funny or clever. The one thing that annoys me the most is that if a skit or character gets any positive response...they'll keep bringing it back and run it into the ground.

Probably because they don't have much as it is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maverick Posted November 9, 2015 Share Posted November 9, 2015 The show goes in cycles, depending on the cast. The cast seems pretty lame right now. That could change in a couple years. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crimsonmistymemory Posted November 9, 2015 Share Posted November 9, 2015 (edited) They do have some funny stuff here and there but they are few and far between. Plus when I was a kid it was like the shock comedy of the entire TV nation because so much of the subject matter was cutting edge, politically charged and never done on TV before. But now everything has a been there done that feel to it. Edited November 9, 2015 by Crimsonmistymemory 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lost In Xanadu Posted November 9, 2015 Share Posted November 9, 2015 Trump had a couple good moments, but overall it was terrible. It seems to go in cycles.... Not sure how much it appeals to the younger crowd, but I loved the Farley/Carvey/Hartman, etc etc years... and my parents didn't give a crap.

I really enjoyed that era too, and that was at the time when the generation before me was still clinging to the original cast so I don't think they were too welcoming of any change. I understand that, but this group was really funny. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lorraine Posted November 9, 2015 Share Posted November 9, 2015 It's not so much not welcoming change as it was that the original cast members are hard to replace. Especially Mr. Bill. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Xanadoood Posted November 9, 2015 Share Posted November 9, 2015 I do think , since the advent of the internet, SNL has lost any relevance it may have had. It just isnt cool anymore. I dont know anyone who watches it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stone and a hard place Posted November 9, 2015 Share Posted November 9, 2015 stick a fork in it it was done about 15-20 years ago--amusing skits once in a while but the quality has been gone for years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
