> Pretty good show. For those who watch it regularly, was this a fluke outlier, or have they been getting measurably better recently?

It’s early in a new season, so maybe this is a good trend, but two weeks ago was a dud overall with a few very good moments.

I was very impressed at Anne Hathaway’s Julie Andrews impression. I guess all that time on the two Princess Diaries movies had an impact after all!

Thanks for the pointer **What Exit?** , but they do not have the Weekend Update segments posted.

I actually tuned in to watch the cold open this week for the first time in years. I was NOT disappointed.

You’re kidding, aren’t you? Can they do that?

I was under the impression that cable operators were required to carry all the locals and surely Austin has a local NBC affiliate.
