Just a shuffle f#ck of short skits, we replayed at our high school assemblies..still good laughs for those paying attention.. And laughing again for the irony.
Was it ever funny? Obviously our definitions of what is funny vary but to me SNL is amateurish, filled with people trying too hard to be funny, and lacks any really cutting satire.
I still think of the early years as "the golden era." When I was in college everything would come to a screeching halt at 11:30 P.M. when the T.V. set would go on and we would enjoy the show together.
I still watch it. Some skits are funny and some not.
40 years ago I was sitting home alone on a Saturday night, in my student apartment in Logan, UT, when SNL broadcast for the first time. I was delightfully stunned.
