Here’s a link to that SNL ratings information from last night.

That describes for me. Television mocked, demeaned and discredited white folk one too many times. I wised up about 20 years ago. They literally mocked this viewer right out of their ratings game.

Same here. Left cable just under three years ago, and haven’t looked back.

I do watch HULU, Netflix, Amazon, and have iTunes movies though, so I’m see viewing content.

I’m a lot more selective now. Well, sort of... LOL

I watch some pretty rank stuff, but almost everything out now is rank. Some of the shows I refuse to watch it’s so bad.

Others that are also bad, I do, so I’m not a paragon of virtue on this matter.

As usual with SNL, most of the show sucked, but The Donald did a great job with the material provided to him. Larry David was hilarious as well, but at the end of the show, uber-lib David turned his back on Donald and Ivanka Trump. David's body language said it all...

Good analysis.

I don't get the comments that people post here and elsewhere like, "SNL hasn't been funny in 20 (30) years." SNL has frequently not been funny. I mostly watching during the Eddie Murphy years. And there were plenty of sucky skits then.

I think everybody remembers the funny bits, and forgets about the suck. I don't watch SNL much anymore, but there is some funny stuff on it still. And there is some that is bad.

I saw a bunch of bad reviews of the Trump show in the media. I didn't watch live, but watched on the DVR after I had read the reviews. I laughed out loud at several points in the show. The cold open of MSNBC (with no Trump) was pretty darn funny, and took some solid shots at Hillary and Bernie.

I watch very infrequently. One show in particular sticks in my mind. I watched the whole show and it was probably the worst comedy related television I have every watched. It didn’t produce one laugh. It did produce plenty of groan moments and downright insulting moments.

I watched in the old days, and yes there were some bad skits too, so I get your point. The overall shows were far beyond today’s SNL. Laughable skits in the 80s were 75-80%. Laughable skits today are more like 20-25%. The show I mentioned, it was seriously 0.00%.

I’m saying you’re a moron.
