I never watch SNL for its musical guests or sketches.
I only tune in if I like the host, and I always watch up until Weekend Update. It's the best part of the show. Then I change the channel.
Just when SNL had something going for it - prime people left the show. What the hell did they hire Keenan Thompson for? He can only do one style of humor and they put him in sterotypical roles. It's just not funny. He doesn't do a good Bill Cosby. STOP MAKING HIM DO BILL COSBY AND STAR JONES!!!!!
"The Spectacle has, indeed, an emotional attraction of its own, but, of all the parts, it is the least artistic, and connected least with the art of poetry. For the power of Tragedy, we may be sure, is felt even apart from representation and actors. Besides, the production of spectacular effects depends more on the art of the stage machinist than on that of the poet."
