Episode 35 x 16 = 560 (2010)

so i haven't watched a 1975 SNL episode in awhile. Fans, I don't think you get the gumption it takes to do this. But I won't let you down. I made a promise and I'm only in the business of breaking ones that involve diets and not drinking (are those mutually exclusive?). what's the point I'm making.... oh yeah, I did watch this weeks SNL. I even set tivo to season pass it.

to be honest, I watched it more because of Zach Galifianakis. I thought he could make it funny. (because he is a funny person, this is also known as a comedian, or a spontaneous funny person i don't think they get a name - poor souls) I like to think he did make it funny, in the way he could, given its on NBC and has become a tool for promotion then an expression of youth and creativity. oh those darn networks.

best sketch was the last one.

[need to explain why – have to rewatch – sorry future nicki]

I wonder sometimes how SNL got here. How did their skits get so long? How did their jokes become repeats of jokes instead inventions of humor? Why is there no pushes of envelopes? What is nacho cheese made of? (I'm just saying if I have their attention I'm going to ask the questions that need to be asked)

to Zach - you are a funny man and my opinion counts (to my tivo at least).
