SNL Back In The Doldrums

It wasn’t 100% awful, but there were long periods between to good stuff.

snl-title.jpgLast year with the presidential election afoot SNL became hot again. They were sharp and funny and talked about. Now–nothing.

I just finished watching Alec Baldwin hosting with the Jonas Brothers as musical guest. Even with Dan Akroyd, Cameron Diaz and the wussy guy from 30 Rock doing cameos there was little to write home about.

It wasn’t 100% awful, but there were long periods between the good stuff.

The truth is last year was the exception. Tonight’s show was closer to the long term rule for SNL. Most seasons, most shows are awful… or uneven at best. We watch because we’re waiting for that one Bass-o-matic moment to remember.

One thought on “SNL Back In The Doldrums”

  1. I agree, SNL seems to use the “kitchen sink” method for skit writing.

    I’ve always appreciated SNL for it’s history of being the launching pad for new talent. The next one on this long list seems to be Andy Samberg.
