Saturday Night Live

At some point, probably before I was born, SNL was some kind of cultural watershed. Or so I was told. Now, it's a collection of mostly unfunny or barely-smile-inducing sketches framed with musical performances by artists you very well may not care at all about. Ever so occasionally, there will be a bit of brilliance (on average once every three episodes) or a breakout star that will be remarkably funny until, eventually, overexposed.

RATING: 57%

You can read minds! I don't care about Coldplay!

SNL is cool when you're 12 years old. Or maybe it was just cool when I was 12 years old. Nowadays, I guess kids have internet porn and all that.

I couldn't have said it better. That show has become a huge disappointment.

The sad part is that there are still redeeming factors about the show. Just not enough. Plus, Sarah and I met Rachel Dratch on Friday, and she was super-nice. Her Debbie Downer sketches were pretty funny.
