Its not hard to see that SNL has been lacking since the past I dont know 20 years. The truth is that some of the actors have been writing with the group and they have been runing out of characters Plus its not hard to see that they are desspreate for a big hit.There past few years has been not bad like mary kathrin gallagher or mango (at some points)or the two guys that dance to that to me unknown song but the sad basic truith is it never will be as good a the first five years with loveble characters like roseanne roseanne-a-danna and wild and crazy guys or the samuri.But we can only hope that the great writing will come back in time mabe by new writers new guests or new cast in that we can only hope

in case if the rapture you can have my car

Actually, I think SNL is very strong now.
The most recent episode opened with a brilliant sketch: Staging the selection of the next pope as a political debate between the likely candidates. Great satire. They have several terrific writers/performers in the current cast like Maya Rudolph, Amy Poehler, Darrell Hammond, Tina Fey and Will Forte. SNL has had low points before and probably will again. Let's just enjoy the good stuff while it lasts!

I don't have much to contribute to this thread. I just wanted to agree on how awsome Maya is. I just adore her, and I think she's the funniest person ever.
Okay, I'm done going fangirl.

SNL hasn't been consistently good since Carvey/ Farley/Hartman/Myers/Schneider (loathe him now, BTW)/Sandler/Spade (see Schneider)/Rock's year. Some good ones with Farrell/Kattan and that group. Anything with Norm MacDonald was crap. i miss Colin Quinn.

People always latch onto and identify with things of their youth. That's why old people don't listen to contemporary music (i.e. that's why people are saying SNL was waaaay better 30 years ago, or 15 years ago, or 10 years ago, etc.).

So you're saying there is no such thing as quality, only perspective?

All due respect, but I don't think that's necessarily true. No matter what your age, some things were better then, some are better now, and some will be better tomorrow.

And somtimes bad is bad...

Did I say anything that contradicts that?

Yeah, you did. You said:

Use of 'always' and 'don't' ('do not') means that you're attempting to leave no room for doubt: 'People don't' and 'people always'. Remember, all generalizations are false; but this one is, in particular.

My Dad (rest his soul) had pretty strict country & western sensibilities, and used to play (piano) in the Big Band Era, too. So I guess it should come as little surprise to anyone who knows music that he also loved Lynyrd Skynyrd and Van Halen. By the same token (being a fan of Queen and Heart), I really like Evanescence and (because of my own musical preferences) Nickelback is right in my wheelhouse, as were Alice In Chains and Nirvana, before them. And I don't think my Dad, my children and myself are alone on this: I think most people are not so rigid that they don't enjoy things from eras other than their youth, or that they always cling to them.

If you make a point that strong, I've got to come back on it and object...

Respectfully,

zoid

P.S.
It's all about semantics, baby. Propaganda is built on arguably valid statements with falsifying semantics.

some of you dint under stand me. I didnt say that the first five years the only best but it was alot easier back then to come up with gold like the male prostitue or andy kouffmans strange sence of humour and I said that the past years havent been bad some of them were wonderfull like the episoad with christopher(sorry if his name is miss spelled its erarly in the morning and I just woke up) walkin were they were makin fun of the holtel.But I think the actors were good these days I never said the actors were horrible at the acting i said they were worrible at writing thats all.

Zoid, I was wondering if I had any trace of "Fuddy Dutty" syndrome so I made a list of all the movies I own by year, and was quite surprised to find that the majority of them are from the nineties and the present decade. I would have thought a preponderance of titles would be from the 70's, when I was a kid, or the 80's, when I was in my twenties.
I guess you're right, there's always points of nostalga, but most of us are more than prepared to accept the new.

BTW Queen's 'There's no time for us' always gets a moist-eyed reaction from me (alright, I cry, there I said it).

Part of what made SNL great at the beginning was the simple fact that there was nothing else like it on TV at that time. Everything they did was ground-breaking. It's been on for 30 years now and has been imitated for most of that time. If you think the quality has never lived up to those first 5 years, it might just be that you're expecting them to keep "re-breaking" the same ground, which is impossible.

I don't think we need new writers. Fireflyverse is in good hands. But perhaps that 'Other Science Fiction Series', Saturday Night Live, does...

Maybe a skit with space hookers, hmmm? Failing that, when "Serenity" goes gonzo this fall, maybe SNL will get the whole cast as guest stars and JW as a writer for a skit in which they lampoon their roles.

I could see that happening.

Comically,

zoid
