I agree with most of what you said,but Dana Carvey did do a funny,but perhaps not very accurate,imitation of former President Bush.
(And when she's posed like that I'd like to mak...., uh, skip it.)
I agree. Perhaps the funniest skit in that era was when Patrick Stewart was the guest host and they had an amalgamation of Star Trek and the Love Boat. I'll never forget Patrick Stewart saying, "Data, set a course, for love..." and then it started witht he Love Boat theme song. I never laughed harder in my life.
Oh,yeah...well I haven't watched TV since the 'Felix the Cat' test pattern in 1929.
"The SciFi channel would do better to go back to the 1970s and start showing older SciFi that hasn't been seen for over 30 years. Plenty of good stuff with certainly better production values than their home-brewed crap."
Crummy fifties sci fi would be better than those bland, milk toast, assembly line silly movies they currently show.
What do you expect? Ms. Hammer was formerly the program director for the Lifetime Channel. Sci-fi channel is being feminized across the board.
I agree, I've laughed at some of their skits, but not enough to make a regular watcher of the show. Andf the chinese guy is very annoying.
Tina should stay away from bungalows and speedballs just i case she's cursed.
I never saw that particular skit; sounds good. Among my favorites were the Phil Hartman skit of Clinton going to a McDonalds and mooching everyone's food, the Hartman portrayal of Frank Sinatra as a snarly talk-show host, Carvey's "Church Lady" bit where she gets Saddam Hussein (Hartman) in a headlock, and Farley's motivational speaker - "If you don't shape up, kid, you'll end up like me: eating government cheese and living in a van down by the river."
For your sister....
Although I do wnat to see the one with the man eating baboons starring Ron Perleman. I don['t know if he is playing one of the baboons or not, but just the premise alone sounds like some good laugh fodder.
I enjoy watching horrible sci-fi. Before we ever heard of Mystery Sciene Theater 3000, my friends and I did that same routine. Of course we pissed off all of our girlfriends when we did that schtick watching "Seven Brides for Seven Brothers". We all spent the week in the dog house for that one. I guess sometimes we were the only ones who thought ourselves funny. Go figure.
"Haven't watched SNL since 1979 or so."
Ditto. If it went off the air I'd never know.
But honestly, I watch almost nothing on TV and haven't for 15 years.
It's such a great waste of time.
How do you know which one is the "Head Writer"?
Phil Hartman at McDonald's was great, "...There's going to be a lot of things we won't be telling Mrs. Clinton about..."
Chris Farley was always a riot. Aside from Tommy Boy, it's too bad he couldn't do the same on the Big Screen. Black Sheep should have been called "Tommy Boy: Redux" and Beverly Hills Ninja was crappy. Almost Heroes with Mathew Perry was awful. Sometimes I think it's a good thing he died when he did, it prevented him from being in any more crappy movies. Of course, his death was a tragedy, and unfortunately he never got to redeem himself from those awful movies.
a/k/a "The Men Are SCum Channel"
...
SNL hasn't been funny since the days of Phil Hartman,Dana Carvey, and John Lovitz.
AND Billy Crystal and Martin Short! Come on, people.
= )
Here's the short version:
A few years ago he was jogging and had some tightness in his chest. He went to the doc and they found his cholesterol was over 400 (due to genetics) and he had to have bypass surgery. He has the surgery and afterward still felt not right. He went to another doctor and they found the first doctor had operated on the wrong artery! So he had another surgery and sued the first doctor. He won something like $4 million and donated it all to the American Heart Association.
No, that's the "Oxygen" channel.
Lifetime is emotional family dramas, and it has its role. Probably many Freeper women enjoy it, which is fine.
LMAO!! That was the best.
Frank Sinatra: I'll tell you what you better understand! Next time you see Old Glory riding up that pole, you better sing that anthem, darling! You're lucky you're a chick, or you'd be nothing but a stain on the road and a crewcut. Our founding fathers went to the mat for you, baby!
Sinead O'Connor: It's not my flag - I'm Irish.
Frank Sinatra: Oh? Well, then stay off of this stuff.. [ mimes drinking ] That's the curse of you people.
