Its very rare I laugh during a SNL. Finally the live line skit got me. Women who want to be murdered…murderers ---

I’m on Seattle feed, and it was clearly a “fuck” - I totally missed it, but my husband caught it and rewound on tivo for the confirmation. I’m surprised they didn’t edit it for west coast feed. Doesn’t bother me - I’m familiar enough with the word. I agree with the OP - nothing terribly funny, but worth watching. ---

I honestly can’t remember an SNL season premiere that I haven’t been disappointed with on some level, and I think I’ve seen most of them, since 1985 or so. And Casey Wilson was great. I was looking forward to seeing her return this year. Sigh. ---

A truly memorable show. Not for the sketches, which were mostly overlong protractions of a lame one-joke premise (what’s unfortunately come to mean “classic SNL”), but as a milestone in human-cyborg relations. Allowing a PleasureBot to host the show was a truly ballsy move. They’ve really come a long way, too; this one could almost pass for human, when it wasn’t talking. The eyes give it away, though. ---

Add me to the voices that are unhappy that Casey Wilson is gone. I didn’t really like the episode - the good parts were too par apart: - liked the opening with Khadaffi - weekend update was only moderate, but the unfunny french comedian bit needs to end - the stewardesses were great - What happened with the digital shorts, they were awful. - I missed the slip because I got tired of the biker chicks very early and fast forwarded, same with Grady. I would give this show a generous C-. ---

Pretty solid? Solid waste more like it. I thought I’d give the show a try after a many year break and I should have just gone to bed. Awful. Even U2 bored me with their (I presume) new material. ---

Even U2 bored me with their (I presume) new material. U2 material wasn’t that new - in fact on the third performance they went back in time a little. Maybe you’re just showing your age. Lighten up. ---

It was a typo - I meant newer as in more recent. I didn’t expect them to do I Will Follow. I don’t think it has anything to do with age - bad writing is bad writing. There are other shows out there that are edgy and funny. SNL is no longer one of them. ---

> [@MsWhatsit](#): > > Really? I saw a blog comment somewhere from someone in Seattle who said she heard it unedited. Odd. From what I understand, Seattle and some other stations will play a taped version of the east coast feed. They do this because they have some local programming that doesn’t end at :35 when SNL starts. So while everyone else on the west coast is getting the west coast feed, Seattle is replaying the friggin’ east coast feed. ---

Of course, the ironic thing is that all these measures are taken to prevent–God forbid!–people on the west coast hearing what happened, but the story is currently on the front page of [cnn.com](http://cnn.com), complete with video footage of the slip-up. :smack: ---

It was decent. I liked the bit with the jabberwocky (get in the jabber position and … wocky, wocky, wocky). I totally laughed at the fuck. You could tell that Kristin Wiig was a little thrown off by it. And I thought Casey Wilson went off for her own reasons. She’s doing a lot of writing from what I hear. She wrote _Bride Wars_ and after that, I heard she’s writing more, acting in small parts here and there, I guess. (Yes, I did like her, too.) ---
