Impossible to rate!, 22 September 2007
Author: troyuselius from Canada

This show is impossible to rate. We all know Saturday Night Live started great in 1975 with Chevy Chase, John Belushi, and so many others. Then when they started leaving, the show got to suck. There are even a couple of seasons in there that were so bad they refuse to air the reruns in syndication. The show was good with Eddie Murphy. Then it got really good again, during the Hartman/Myers/Farley/Spade (again, so many others) years. Then they left, and the show has really sucked since, with the possible exception of Will Ferrell (if you like Will Ferrell, which I don't). I keep trying to give the show another chance, and it continues to disappoint. I was so happy when they apparently turned the whole show's cast over, but so far the new no-names aren't impressing at all. Amy Poehler's not bad. I think the main problem is the writing. SNL please get some new blood. Or bring back the old blood. Whatever, do something! The show is just lame and unfunny now. Hopefully things turn around and we end up with a great period of SNL again. If not, hopefully it gets canceled. It's pretty bad when Mad TV typically gets more laughs out of us that SNL.
