And everyone said those casts were crap compared to the ones that came before them.

Same as it ever was.
the originals were obviously the best by a wide margin

It's nice. I've got 5-6 Costcos within a 10 mi radius... At least.

I've got a couple within 10 miles.  Aside from vacuum cleaners, we get most of our beef and pork there, and a lot of our poultry when we're doing a good job of planning ahead.

No freakin' way, sure you're not thinking of StarBucks/McDonalds? The closest one to me is like 15 miles,not sure where the next closest is

Broken clock is right twice a day. I think that's more the power and aura of Bill Burr than SNL cast or writers. Bill Burr is one of the funniest people ever to live imo.

I think the secret of SNL is that it's always uneven. But as we move past it, we only keep watching the good stuff, so it holds.

I don't really interact with it much now. Seems to have a few moments.

Random thing that happened because of Badge and the algorithm. 

We were talking about athletic finances on here, and he posted a link to a book about UW's rise from a respectable author. I clicked it, clicked away. But when I logged on, it kept saying "Used for $5." So when I wanted to buy something and needed some mundane filler for free shipping, went ahead and got that. Just arrived today.

I have four Costcos here, one is a wholesale place, three are within ten miles, the wholesale place is probably closer to 20.  My wife went there once, she said everything is clearly meant for retail, smaller packages shrink wrapped into large blocks for individual sale.

Yeah, and if you watch an entire episode now, so much of the jokes were topical to that given month and it's nearly unwatchable.  No matter the cast.

this is definitely true imo...it's a sketch comedy show on network tv and it's been on forever. They are going to have more duds than stuff that lands. Way more. The only sketch comedy show that I've ever seen bat .1000 is Chappelle's Show - but it was only on for 2 seasons. It would've gone dull after 40 seasons...anything would. SNL probably should be canceled, it's run it's course and there's no shame in retiring it. The best shows are the ones that know when it's time to walk away.

All what you say above is true, BUT the performers matter a lot- and they can take so-so or even suspect material and make it work. Will Ferrell was great at this. Anything Eddie Murphy was in was incredible because he was just such a remarkable performer. SNL just has really shitty cast members and even shittier writers right now, and honestly they have for awhile now. Everything is low hanging fruit, not even remotely clever writing, zero edge, and the cast sucks. It's literally unwatchable.

That last really good cast members they had were Jason Sudekis, Bill Hader, Kristen Wiig, and Andy Samberg back in like 2012-2013. That's basically a decade ago. It's been god awful for almost 10 years now. There are people on YouTube making way funnier skits/sketches right now than SNL has had in basically a decade.

I really did not know SNL was still on TV.  Next you'll tell me Lawrence Welk is still on.

Hee Haw?

Laugh In?
