Had this debate with a friend the other night. The show, I believe, has lost its soul and flavor. I've tuned in for three consecutive weeks, via TIVO mind you...I still can't forget how horrible this show has become. This past week was the worst.

1. There was something about the Tizzle Wizzle Game with Franco. I suppose I would have to be on acid to understand this. It was just disturbing.

2. WTF is Gilly. I'm not understanding the reference here. Completely unfunny. I can't figure what this is about. Dennis the Menace?

3. Whats up with that. Alright, I actually laughed this past week because they brought out Stockton and the guy in the track suit. Random shite.

Maybe someone enjoys these sketches but I don't understand them. I thought it was funnier when they ran Palin through the grinder ever episode.

I think the guy Lorne Michaels needs to be booted and they need to bring in new writing talent. It's taken a complete nosedive the past couple years. Only thing remotely memorable from that show is Sandburg and Co. directing their own skits.

It goes through cycles. It was great in the 80's. Sucked in the early 90's, back to OK in the late 90's and has sucked for the past 5 years or so.

I though last weeks was showing promise but then it went downhill about half-way through.

This... just ignore SNL when it's in one of its lame periods, enjoy it when it gets good again.

I just want to know who thought Gilly was funny.

And the dominican skit was horrible. People dancing the whole time. Beyond me. Apparently thats what dominicans do? WTF?

The only good skit that I can remember recently is the China-Obama press conference. That was comedy gold. I was surprised that they went after Obama so hard.

This was actually funny IMO.

The rest of the show was awful.

My black friends just looked at each other during that skit and said "White People. And you wonder why Keenan wasn't involved with that shite."

The skits all start off strong but have no punchline. Like the writers just dont know how to end them. New writers would be good I think. And I'm tired of some cast members. None are memorable and some are just boring.

I find this ironic coming from someone who has almost 100,000 posts on an internet forum.

BTW, I'll admit that I have no life.

This is one of the funniest skits to ever be on SNL. So, put a cork in it.

WOW That's going a little far. I guess they are making fun of disco?
