[QUOTE=Cisco]  
Could I respectfully ask you two questions?

1. How old are you?
2. Do you like SNL and if yes, how long have you been watching - if no, why not?

I’m not trying to be a fly in the oinment, I’m genuinely curious.  
[/QUOTE]

I’m 56 and I think SNL has stunk on ice for years.

Not as much as your theory stinks, but a whole lot anyway. 🙂

Well color me confusticated and bebothered. I didn’t know the show had any connections to SNL other than the fact that Tina Fey acted in both (I didn’t know she wrote 30 Rock or had to do with its creation) but I immediately saw the same “act bizzare, or like an idiot, or say something random and _someone_ will think it’s funny” humor that has defined SNL for the last several years.

The look on Fey’s face when Baldwin said “You have the boldness of a much _younger_ woman” was hilarious.  
[/QUOTE]  
This was the sole big laugh for me.

All the show did is remind me why I don’t watch sitcoms. I have no idea if this is a good one or a bad one but I really, really don’t like the form.

The lack of a laugh track was a positive feature but otherwise I have better things to do with my time.
