There skits have nice setups. Ummm.. who writes the garbage though? This show is an embarrassment to TV. Should have been cancelled a long time ago. Are there even any liberals who like the constant political attacking?

SNL used to be very funny in most of its skits, but now they have pretty much become the anti Trump show with unfunny skits mocking Trump. I hate Trump as much as the next guy, but their political skits which have been occurring non-stop for the past year are no longer the funny balanced political jabs from the 80's, instead, it's just DNC propaganda and insulting Trump in an unfunny way. Just like Seth Myers, Stephen Colbert and Trevor Noah, SNL are clearly being told or bribed to spend half the show on Trump and are clearly using a laugh track because they have become so cringy and have turned a once great show into an hour and a half of propaganda.

I'm politically leftward and these days *I* find snl unwatchable. It's basically Democratic Party propaganda pretending to be comedy. Kate McKinnon singing Leonard Cohen's "Halleluiah" and that "To Sir, With Love" number after last year's election were very clear messages of what the show has become. It used to be much more balanced - and funny! If you doubt me, watch all those debate parodies they did in the 1988 election season. And — as with every other live show now — the studio audience is far too loud and screamy. And the enthusiasm they show makes no sense with what's on stage. Are they all given cocaine at 11:29? Another reviewer described snl as a bank that's "too big to fail". I agree. No matter how bad it gets, it'll never go away. Fortunately we the audience can go away, and I finally have.(p.s. IMDb rates this show an 8.2, but notice how all the recent reviews are only one star. I think that tells you something.)

It's an institution, it's a landmark comedy programme - it can only be 'Saturday Night Live'.Yes, it goes through stages of not quite being on top form, but you can't argue with the amount of stars it has produced over the years, or the way it manages to stay on top of current events.I think people like to bash it, to say it's not as good these days, but people would equally be up in arms if it were to be axed.I hope its reign as the pinnacle of American satire continues for a long time to come.
