J2112YYZ Posted November 10, 2015 Share Posted November 10, 2015 (edited) I haven't regularly watched it for 20 years now. The original cast and the cast members they had from about 88-95 can't be beat. When Tina Fey and Amy Poehler did the weekend update together, I would sometimes watch to see that because I really enjoyed them two. Other than that I have no clue what's been happening on over the last 15 years or so. Like others have said, the show seems to have lost it relevance and cool factor a long time ago. I don't know what the ratings are for it now but I guess until it stops making sense financially, they will keep it going. I think they should end it though.

EagleMoon Posted November 10, 2015 Share Posted November 10, 2015 You mean it's still going? I had no idea. I pretty much quit watching it once the second batch of people came in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Union 5-3992 Posted November 10, 2015 Share Posted November 10, 2015 The mid 00's cast was very good, only they became even better after the show. Poehler, Fey, Sandburg, Parnell, Fallon, Forte were all very good and have had great work since. Of he current cast, the only one that stands out is the woman who does the Clinton sketches. Shes pretty good Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TexMike Posted November 10, 2015 Share Posted November 10, 2015 The current cast has some talented people (Kate McKinnon, in particular), but they rarely ever get a funny skit to work with because the writers stink. I'm also surprised the show has lasted this long. I guess it'll be on until Lorne Michaels dies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goose Posted November 10, 2015 Share Posted November 10, 2015 Look at some of the season cast in the graphic... holy shit, I am glad I didn't watch some of those 80s years When it was referred to as "Saturday Night Vile". :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fordgalaxy Posted November 10, 2015 Share Posted November 10, 2015 They just got the highest ratings since 2012. Granted, it was because Donny T. was the host, but still. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goose Posted November 10, 2015 Share Posted November 10, 2015 OK, all you :codger: types. There's plenty of good stuff that's come out of the last ten years of SNL. Cecily Strong is great. And let's not forget that the early years had their clunkers as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Digital Dad Posted November 10, 2015 Share Posted November 10, 2015 I last watched it about 5 years ago and it was unbearable.It should have been cancelled by now, seriously I don't think its been really good since the Phil Hartman years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cecily Strong is great. And let's not forget that the early years had their clunkers as well. I don't think anyone was saying the show still doesn't have good stuff on it and talented people. I think the "must see" value of it has worn off and that's why most of us don't care anymore. The show hasn't had much buzz in recent years, it's just a show on TV and nothing more. Yeah, even the best years had bad stuff on it. That's the risk they take with it being live though. They have no idea what will go over well and what won't until the show is on the air. Something may kill during rehearsals but then the audience just doesn't get it. Edited November 10, 2015 by J2112YYZ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

graxxus Posted November 10, 2015 Share Posted November 10, 2015 I think it entirely depends on your age. I was at an age when the early nineties was appealing to me. Every era had a crap to great ratio. Some were more biased in the crap direction to be sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Every era had a crap to great ratio. Some were more biased in the crap direction to be sure. When SNL first arrived in 1975, I was about 4, so I never got to know of it for when I was growing up in the 80s. The only bit I remember was a segment from Steve Martin, and from the look of him (white suit or something?) I'd guess the sketch was sometime in the 70s, with a joke that I can't even remember, and all I can recall was that I didn't laugh once. Either I had no sense of humor, or I really didn't understand his style. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
