re: SNL 12/9 James Fraco/SZA

I watch SNL on a weekly basis. Usually after I’ve had a drink or two. I sit back relax and just kind of zone in and out.

Every now and then I’ll catch a pretty bad episode and have just enough liquor to think...psssh. I could write this shite. Last night was one of those episodes.

If you’re familiar with how SNL works, the writers are basically the sketch crew. If you have a good crew, you’ll get good material. Other times like what we got now, it sucks pretty hard more often than not.

The cold open was pretty good concept but they decided to go too heavy on the Liberal/Progressive agenda setting. I didn’t think it was particularly clever either. I can excuse political bias if it’s clever and funny. It was neither.

The kids they pulled, half couldn’t read. One kid didn’t know the lines and they just talked over her. Kids are tricky. Half can’t read for shite anyway, the other barely listen.
