I don’t know any Christians who watch Saturday Night Live; they’re obviously targeting a different market. Several people I know watched it years ago, but the problem for these shows is that people grow up, their comedy is stale, and an increasing number of young people today are watching Telemundo (or whatever else they fancy). TV today is facing the same problem advertisers did when remote controls came out; people simply don’t have to watch. The days of a few stations force-feeding propaganda to mindless zombies are over for large segments of the population; an increasing number of people simply turn on a laptop instead of a TV now.
Of course, to combat it the TV shows have to get progressively raunchy as they fight for the bottom-feeders; not exactly a target demographic for companies hawking wares on commercials...
I remember when SNL was less raunchy and used to take both parties to task. I remember a great skit around 2000 about Mark Rich wanting to become the DNC chairman because they’re the party of “stealing money and getting pardoned.” Sadly, around the Bush years it became all about mocking Bush.
It’s sad because pre-2000’s SNL was pretty funny.
I have to admit I rarely watch TV these days - just a few old films, one or two comedies, the occasional quality documentary that somehow manages to slip out.
