SNL 9/28 - 29/13 has been pretty good.

From the opening skit regarding an unmentionable topic here, now

to the commercial like skit about smoking meth anywhere with eMeth.

I have LOL several times in the first 35 minutes and they are not in the first music break. :(

Watch the repeat, watch it online, watch it on demand.

Tonight has been a renaissance of SNL.

FYI

Charlton Heston: Over it's 15-year history, "Saturday Night Live" has offended more than a few of its viewers. In fact, it's probably safe to say that, at one time or another, the show has offended every single one of its viewers. It will therefore come as no surprise that, week after week, the mail brings hudnreds of angry, even ugly, letters. Tonight, I've been asked to read one of these letters. This is dated March 19th, 1978:

[Heston reads letter ]

"Nausea. Violent, gut-churning nausea. That's the only way I can describe the revulsion I felt as I watched last week's episode of the show called "Saturday Night Live". Vulgar, snide, purile. Devoid of either taste or intellectual content, let alone humor. "Saturday Night Live" displays in show after dreadful show, its sniggering contempt for even the appalling standards of network television. What kind of world are we living in, that this is considered entertainment? As I sat stunned by this abomination, quite literally sick to my stomach, it occurred to me that your cast and writers resemble nothing so much as a collection of spoiled children throwing a party the weekend Mommy and Daddy are away. Well, NBC, perhaps its time Mommy and Daddy came home, assumed their parental responsibilities, and removed this weekly affront to the mind and spirit from our television screens.

Signed: Charlton Heston."

The beauty of it is that its on late and with over 200 channels you don't have to watch it, so if you really find it that offensive, don't watch.

I have found over the years some casts are much better then others, the one now is so so.

Shame Charlton never knew he was part of the joke.

Even if you are not River, this link is 5 stars on a scale of 4.

Tell me it ain't so.

No moi, not really and just to make sure I tried to watch it twice but it was not worthy of even that.

Didn't do much for me. I did love the Girls parody they made. Of course Tina Fey's new girl was hilarious. I have hope for the Weekend Update girl once she gets more comfortable in the role.
