Wait, other parts of the country don't get Castle after SNL? I had no idea that was a local affiliate thing!

[@canaisyoung3601]

​​​​@@SeanFrog Where I live, it's one of those nightlife magazine shows. It used to be "Showtime at the Apollo" for an hour, followed by an old 90-minute rerun of Saturday Night Live (which I actually liked, because in case a newer episode that came on at 11:30 wasn't good, you can fall back on a classic episode, though some past seasons of SNL, like seasons 6, 11, and 20, were bad and not all the jokes have aged well, though most of the SNL episodes that aired were either the original Not Ready for Primetime era episodes from 1975 to spring of 1980, the Dick Ebersol-era episodes from seasons 7 to 10, or the 1990s episodes: the "Bad Boys of SNL" era, season 20, and the Will Ferrell era. On occasion, they did air season 11 episodes, but the only ones I saw were the episode hosted by Ronald Reagan's son and the episode hosted by Griffin Dunne and the only Jean Doumanian episode they aired was the first time Jamie Lee Curtis hosted, which didn't even air on most affiliates, because Pope John Paul II died at that time and they decided to air his funeral instead of a horrendously mediocre episode of SNL from a forgotten era). Sadly, that changed after 2007.

My Dad used to say he quit watching SNL when Dana left because it wasn't funny anymore. That's a lie. There's not been one decade where the show isn't funny.
