I’m not seeing a lot of people bashing Trump here. I’m seeing a LOT of people bashing SNL’s writers.
This show has truly gone down the tubes. It just isn’t funny any more.
Last night was a disappointment because it was a real opportunity for SNL. With many more people tuning in, this was a shot for them to draw in new viewers (and bring back the old ones).
The hatred of then President Ford was much more than I remember. It was downright nasty with no subtlety whatsoever.
I'm beginning to think that outside of a few favorite bits, Belushi's Samurai for instance, my younger mind was very forgiving. Granted, it was a new medium at the time.
Nowadays, a lot but not all of the material is boring and unfunny. Either I'm getting old or it just plain sucks.
That being said, I enjoyed Trump's turn as a Host. At least they didn't Jerry Ford him.
