It used to be hilarious. I'm talking Bill Murry era. Maybe
I was young and usually stoned, but if the Saturday night was unfruitful(meaning no women); I'd rush home and watch
SNL and really got a kick out of it. Just thinking about
that "Miss Loupner" thing has me smiling.
As a viewer since season 1, SNL has always been funny but inconsistent. If you go back now and watch those early shows yes, there were some awesome sketches, but they were surrounded by a lot of duds as well.
I respect the show just for what it is. These people write and build an entire 90 minute show going from zero to rehearsals in 5 days. No other show has done this for decades and lived to tell about it.
