Is that more like what you want to hear, Taky? Honestly, I don't get it. Even if the thread had started "I love SNL, here's some news" (which it didn't, it was completely neutral), even then it seems reasonable to say I don't care for the show in its current incarnation.I liked it more or less season-before-last, didn't like it at all last season and saw the weaknesses in all the cast members really show. I've been watching SNL since day one and always make certain to watch at least a half-dozen episodes every season. I think Lorne Michaels is a genius but I also think that his understanding of what is funny today is insufficient and that the show -- a show that's very dear to my heart -- needs to be completely revamped.Why is it that I can't say that? The news that the cast is being pared down seems like the perfect opportunity to comment on the show. If you want a thread where people just ooh and ahh about how great it is, I suggest you start a thread called "SNL Is the Best Thing Ever and You Are Not Allowed to Disagree."</blockquote>
