TV Gama , you said it!!! I love SNL and it's honestly in my mind; an American Documentary of Sketch Comedy. I think it was Netflix that has or for sure had EVERY single episode and season on SNL. Starting In 1975. I have always had a dream to be a cast member of SNL. The way SNL has changed over the years is amazing to see. Especially notice the live audience and how back in the 70's it seems as if the audience is weary on laughing out loud at certain jokes that are made. And it makes sense.. I was watching some episodes yesterday from season 2 , and some things that made me laugh so hard I was crying , and I noticed how audience wouldn't laugh at things that where more racial, or about gays or lesbians etc.. 2022 episodes of SNL the audience is laughing at every word.. idk it's just cool to think about , and I really feel strongly about SNL being an American Documentary of Sketch Comedy and some of our best actors and actresses who started in SNL. OR obviously host.

[@Unkle_Mike]

One of the main differences between the current cast and the cast from this era (circa 1990) is their acting experience. The 90-91 cast had actors with improv acting experience (mainly Groundlings and Second City). If you look at the current cast, I think there’s two or three out of roughly 15 cast members with a background in improv.

[@narrow_pepsi]

Idk the new ones have like this shitty hyperactive play vibe, I guess that's what happens when you've got no real competition in the once highly-competitive sketch show market

SNL was comedy genius for many years. This is a great example of writing and actors working in sync to produce great entertainment. Sadly, the SNL of today is more concerned with political statements and other agendas over entertainment. Thankfully, we have these pieces of SNL gold that will live forever in the cyber world.

When I watch SNL from this period it makes the current show look like a high school talent show. It’s so embarrassing these days. A highlight reel is usually comprised of the cast breaking up at themselves. The show used to be antiestablishment and dangerous. Now it’s the complete opposite. They’re still doing Trump jokes with an obvious target like Biden in office. What happened to SNL? Does anyone else feel this way?

[@brianbrown366]

Everything evolves. How is your blackberry

[@JonBlackstone]

@@brianbrown366 really? That’s the best you can come up with as a response? That might actually explain why you think the show is still good? If you think my opinion has anything to do with generational changes or the passing of time think again. The viewership for SNL has dropped dramatically and consistently over the past 15 years. the numbers are so low now it’s miraculous that NBC retains it in their lineup. Many people in the industry are talking about the low quality of SNL; in particular, the low quality of the writers on staff. I know this may be hard for you to hear; but the current version of SNL is very much an indication of the dumbing down of our culture. The show was once cutting edge in terms of comedic talent, both in acting and writing. Now it’s not much better than stuff you see from novices online.
