Saturday Night Snooze

This is a somewhat interesting article about the weakness of Saturday Night Live, but I beg the question: Is SNL even relevant anymore? When was the last time it was worth watching? When Will Ferrell left I guess. At least when the show reached its nadir in 94 or 95 it was just horrendous--this mediocrity might be even worse. In the world of TV comedy, does it even hold a candle to the Daily Show, Dave Chappelle, South Park, or even King of the Hill and the Simpsons at this late date in those shows? No way. The comedy is predictable and middle of the road, the hosts are uninspiring, and the music is boring.

Maybe the relevance of the show is that people, including me, still find it worth spending energy to write about. But if it keeps going at this rate, even that bit of relevance may fall away.
