Though the early 80s ensemble cast, despite a very rocky start, turned out to be quite good, followed by that all-star cast (with folks like Martin Short and Billy Crystal), immediately followed by the younger all-star cast (with Robert Downey, Jr. and Joan Cusack). The diehard fans and apologists love to point out how everyone says that SNL sucks and that now is the time to retire the franchise, but seriously, its fucking BLOWS these days. I actually liked the post 95 cast, but slowly but surely it morphed into the largest collection of mediocrity imaginable. I think around 2001-02 is when I officially stopped giving a fuck about the show, and when I try to watch it these days, I can't last than two minutes, despite some legit funny people being a part of it. It's never been this bad, save that 80-81 incarnation, which I guess will never be topped in terms of pure awkwardness. Though it still perseveres, mostly since comedy as a whole, especially on television, is such a rotten wasteland that even pandering, overly cutesy shit that desperately tries so hard to be cutting edge is actually accepted as such. It's still not as bad as Family Guy, but just barely. Yeah, the 86-95 cast is still the Silver Age so to speak, with the original 75-80 being the obvious Gold Standard.

I used to watch SNL religiously at that age which, considering that it was its last good period (yes I'm going to be one of those people), probably explains a lot. But I could never get into the late night talk shows. Always found Leno too dull and boring, and Letterman too Tim Shafer-filled.

What the hell were they trying to do? I dont think anyone hesitated to laugh at that.
