cterryweb How can episodes from a year ago be called vintage? With all the great material from over the past 40 years, why in the hell do they air episodes with the current cast and call it vintage?

Hillarysupporter Who invited all the Hillary supporters? Why did they replace the entire cast with a bunch of liberals? Why is this now all about politics? When the entire cast are the only ones laughing at their annoying statements(yes I didn't call them jokes) you know the show went down the drain. Who is even writing the scripts? A lab of monkeys can be funnier than these low life's. How about instead of framing people who oppose your opinions as racists, bigots, in other words people who shouldn't be part of YOUR society, how about you write things that are actually funny. Oh wait, since when did it become YOUR society. This is OUR society and every man woman and child has an equal say. Stop pushing your views onto people because that is not comedy. That's CNN and CNN is not funny. Please get back to making people laugh instead of feeling awkward, judged, feel like they don't belong.

studioAT It's an institution, it's a landmark comedy programme - it can only be 'Saturday Night Live'.Yes, it goes through stages of not quite being on top form, but you can't argue with the amount of stars it has produced over the years, or the way it manages to stay on top of current events.I think people like to bash it, to say it's not as good these days, but people would equally be up in arms if it were to be axed.I hope its reign as the pinnacle of American satire continues for a long time to come.

Ed-Shullivan I understand that having to write good comedy material each week and have their entire TV audience both relate to the material and keep it topical is no easy task, but for SNL to gain the varied audience it once boasted then the SNL writers have to do a better job of making the material much more entertaining.I recently watched episode 3, of the 42nd season which was hosted by Emily Blunt with the musical guest being Bruno Mars. This particular weeks episode spent far too much time trying to belittle the Republican Presidential candidate Donald Trump less than one month before the U.S. November 08, 2016 election. I thought I tuned in to watch a TV comedy show and not another Donald Trump bashing. I had to double check the TV channel I was watching because I could have sworn it was CNN (the Clinton News Network) I was watching and not NBC. Listen SNL writers, if you have no imagination on how to write comedy material on Hillary Clinton to balance the shows coverage of the two candidates in satire then give me a shout because there is no end to 30 years of political satire relating to the Clinton's. Come on now!One other skit that I thought was appropriate for what type of poor material SNL has been putting out lately was the skit where the theatre group who just completed their stage performance reached out to their stage audience and asked for feedback after their performance from the single person watching their live performance. The writers must have written it subconsciously as I believe I was the only person watching the episode 3, of season 42 this past Saturday night as everyone else had already realized that the skits are just not funny anymore.As SNL is in its 42nd year and I have been watching it since the very first episode I have faith that SNL still has life left in it. Unfortunately episode 3 of Season 42 sucked not a single ounce of laughter out of me. I propose to fire the current writers because the SNL cast is not the problem and get back to at least some level of the original physical comedy that made me laugh at SNL weekly. Otherwise maybe SNL should consider moving to a once per month format and allowing only the decent skits to go forward on live TV and leave their junk material where it belongs on the cutting room floor.I am giving SNL a 7 out of 10 rating as I truly want it to make a comeback, but that won't happen without a new crew of writers. I hope someone is listening.
