4. I switched to MAD TV from about the later mid 90's on...
...I don't know anything about SNL anymore. I did try to watch one episode a couple a years ago, but wasn't impressed. Oh well, to each their own.

13. I thought the Killers sucked tonight, but I do like several of their songs.
Tonight, I was disappointed, thought maybe they're not as good as I thought they were.

18. Yeah, I like them too
Some of the songs on their other albums are very good because they are actually *about* something, at least in an abstract sense. Tonight, not so much. Also, I guess you can't see on the CDs how much their lead singer hams it up, which also detracted from the whole scene.

15. Your dogs are fixed, so you only get to be a Grandpa when LK starts a family.
And since he's only seven, and has not yet met a girl who shares his obsessions with potatoes and early Sabbath, you're in for a wait.

But in the meantime feel free to tell us another story about wearing an onion on your belt. ;)

19. snl sucks. it has for 20, maybe 30 years. they shoot the wad on the opening...
weekend update was the only other funny part, but even that varied from year to year.

all of the rest is so awful or ordinary or just drawn out to death... ugh...



it must be a very inexpensive show for nbc to produce. it doesn't get ratings.





that said, i do love tina fey. i have always loved tina fey. i will always love tina fey!

20. I NEVER thought this band was worth a shit.
There really aren't many new mainstream bands out there that are worth a shit.

You really . . . REALLY have to dig for the good stuff.

25. hmm...
I guess I haven't heard anything new from them in awhile, but my impression was that the killers were one of the only bands to come out in the last 5 or so years that DIDN'T totally suck. But I've never seen them on tv or anything - just heard a few songs.

26. I liked The Killers.
I'm not sure who they were aiming the Lawrence Welk parody at. Do any kids even know who that is?

27. I find myself exclaiming, "WHO????" during the broadcast.
Not just for the hosts but the cast as well; remember when you could, in your sleep, name the Not Ready For Prime Time Players?

Remember when there WAS a Prime Time to NOT be ready for??????
