SNL has just been painful this season. Usually there are one or two gems in a show, so I record it and skip a skit when it gets boring. The first two episodes I just gave up on. Then after two episodes they repeat the first one on the third week. Can't they get three weeks of writing in a row before they have to take a week off?
Now my shameful confession: I liked Studio 60 so far. It's not the greatest show around, but it has been pretty good. I haven't quite put my finger on whether the anti-Christian comments are really anti-Christian or if they are attempts to parody the Hollywood attitude.
I didn't know I had to be shameful about watching Studio 60. I have enjoyed the dialogue very much.
I too am thinking that because the nicest, smartest person on the show is the maligned Christian, that they may actually be poking at the ANTI-Christianity of Hollywood rather than being anti-Christian. And it is definitely over the top that the writer would break up with her because she went on the 700 club, even though he obviously loves her. So this may be cathartic for Hollywood to get over their sick persecution of Christians.
One thing I do enjoy, also, is that I don't get even a whiff of Matthew Perry's insecure, sarcastic "Friends" character. Watching him on this show, I don't even remember he used to be another character. That says something for a TV actor.
