Gosh, AP writer Jake Coyle seems to make similar points that I make every time somebody around here starts lamenting about how "unfunny" SNL is "now."
I wish, but I know it won't come true, that this would just encourage people to find some new and possibly legitimate angle with which to critique the show.
NEW YORK (AP) - "Saturday Night Live," like rock 'n' roll, is perpetually dying. Throughout the 31 seasons of the NBC sketch comedy show, on a near annual basis, critics have written off "SNL" for not being "what it once was."
When the immensely popular Chevy Chase left the show early in the second season, his replacement was derided. Three decades later, Bill Murray remains one of our most celebrated comics.
