Opinion: Saturday Night Live – “November 7th, 2009 – Taylor Swift”

07 Nov 2009 22:02:15 PST

Written by Myles
The rest of the show felt about as limp as SNL has been as of late. The opening sketch had some great line readings by Bill Hader and the clever mouth-shift (from left to right) from Kristen Wiig, the Swine Fever gag was overdone but clever enough, and Weekend Update had the always welcome retu...

Opinion: Taylor Swift knocking it out of the park on 'SNL'...so far

07 Nov 2009 20:03:20 PST

Written by Darcel Rockett
No one really knows what to expect of Taylor Swift hosting "Saturday Night Live" (Nov.6).Let's be honest, the country singer is known for her tales of teen woes put to song, as opposed to comedy, so that's what the performer relied on in her opening monologue, appropriately titled "Monolog...

Opinion: Building from a Strong Foundation

14 Oct 2009 01:06:38 PDT

Wiig and Sudekis are extremely strong character actors and impressionists, and accordingly, they've been given a lot of screen time, but unfortunately, they are often stuck with very one-dimensional, go-nowhere sketches. So, seeing as though Wiig is probably one of the most simultan...

Opinion: SNL = Still No Laughter

11 Oct 2009 00:35:37 PDT

University of Westfield Credit where credit is due, this was the ONLY decent part of the show tonight. How embarrassing is that -- that this was the ONLY thing worth watching tonight?! The mumble at the end by Jenny Slate was great and it was good to see the fringe cast members in on this sketch.

Saturday Night Live was last Fall’s biggest pop culture sensation. With Tina Fey’s Sarah Palin impression saving the show from a weak Obama impression, and Thursday timeslots building the show’s reputation, it built to some of its best numbers ever and its cache went beyond viral intern...

Opinion: I heart 30 Rock

16 Nov 2008 10:31:28 PST

I watched Saturday Night Live from its inception in the 70s, but over the years my attention went elsewhere. I have to admit that Dana Carvey and Eddie Murphy still seem like the new guys on SNL. So Tina Fey is absolutely foreign territory, and a bit intimidating. How dare the world move on! I was...

I don't think Charlie Kaufman himself could've dreamed up a more Victor/Victorian mobius strip of meta-fiction than Saturday Night Live sticking the real Sarah Palin into her old red skirt suit to play Tina Fey playing Sarah Palin.

TV Review: SNL in the '90s - Pop Culture Nation

06 May 2007 14:35:26 PDT

Written by Cameron Archer
Let's get this out of the way. SNL in the '90s: Pop Culture Nation (May 6, 9-11 PM, NBC) has the same problems as SNL in the '80s had, albeit not as noticeably. Clips and musical guests still don't match the seasons. Not everyone from the 1990s versions of SNL offer interviews for the documentary...

TV Review: Saturday Night Live - Drew Barrymore/Lily Allen

Drew Barrymore is probably one of the less notable Saturday Night Live hosts to join the mythical Five Timers' Club. Her first hosting stint is infamous for her being the youngest person ever to host Saturday Night Live. Since then, her episodes have been more or less nondescript. It's not li...

When it comes to Saturday Night Live, the comments from Blogcritics readers are following a certain formula. There's at least one negative comment towards SNL in general every week I review the show, usually words to the effect of "Why is this show still on the air?" or "Where's the edge?" M...

TV Review: Saturday Night Live - Jake Gyllenhaal/The Shins

15 Jan 2007 07:24:31 PST

Written by Cameron Archer
I like Saturday Night Live's tastes in hosts more this season. The show doesn't stray too far from the mainstream in picking most of them - no one should expect otherwise from one of the longest-running television shows currently on air - but there's more of a focus on people who might do well...

TV Review: Saturday Night Live - Alec Baldwin/Christina Aguilera

08 Jan 2007 07:10:31 PST

Written by Cameron Archer
No opening tirade here, aside from the fact that Classic Saturday Night Live no longer airs on NBC All Night (as of January 2007, anyway.) That's not a bad thing. The reruns were getting to the point where every episode from five or six years ago was considered classic. Don't get me wrong, some o...

TV Review: Saturday Night Live, December 2, 2006 - with Matthew Fox and Tenacious D

I might be too hard on Maya Rudolph as I've actually enjoyed her performances lately. I ride her pretty hard and I think I'm overreacting in doing so. Her Whitney Houston this week was solid. I don't like her as much as I do cast members like Will Forte or Jason Sudeikis, but she does have a good ran...
