SNL

So I've noticed lately that a lot of shows including SNL have incorporated sex/shock into their shows. Instead of being funny, they try to see how far they can push it before turning people off. I never really watched SNL before, however, we all know some of the great skits, Da Bears.

It seems lately, no one really talks about the show. Lizzy and I have turned it off multiple times due to either stupidity or too much sex themed skits. Writing a good skit isn't about pushing the limits but rather writing believable characters who people can relate too.

From the few skits I have seen, there are too many characters who are exactly the same. I'm not sure if it's the writers or the actors, but every actor's character seems to be the same from skit to skit. If I was in charge of SNL I would find multiple actors who are excellent at impromptu acting and who could feed off each other.

You want the skits where something goes unplanned and everyone cracks up. It doesn't seem like that's happening anymore. All the experienced talent left for other jobs. Jimmy Fallon, Tina Fay, Amy Poehler, etc.

I think it's either time to scrap SNL or take a break to bring in experience and variety.
