I read through some stuff today, and NBC is having a talk.....losses of $100-million a year are now 'average'. So the question is...do you just terminate the show completely, or fire the production-bosses?
So five observations:
First, probably from the start (Oct 1975) to around the late 1980s.....it was funny. At some point around 1992/1993....after viewing an episode....I considered not that funny. It'd peaked.
Second, there's an era of a dozen years (late 90s to 2009) that I didn't watch it at all. When I started to watch again....I'd generally say that just one or two skits in the show were funny....the rest were marginally worth worth watching.
Third, the slant since 2008 being anti-Republican/pro-Democrat? Yeah, that's oblivious.
Fourth, just laying off the production team? Then what?
Fifth and final....if you ended the show.....the network would just say it's free-and-open for stations to find their own 'show'. I'm not sure of what would happen. Maybe some science-fiction hour? Maybe roller-derby? Maybe a whole hour of one single-skit....just comedians allowed to go as far as they want?
My three most favorite skits from SNL: Washington's Dream (2023), anything with the Californians, and 1976's Samurai Stockbroker with John Belushi (yeah, that was a real Samurai blade used).
