sorry if this appears a second time later tonight but it did not seem to get through to the list so I have altered it a bit and resent it.
I actualy stopped watching the show when Jimmy Fallon was being featured
because there was not enough room on stage for his ego and anyone else. I was
glad to see his true talents recognized in his taxi /cop movie with Queen
latifah. God help us if Hollywood starts inundating us with Jimmy Fallon movies.
At least Anthony Michael Hall's "talent' was showcased in Sixrteen Candles
before we were forced to painfully watch him on SNL.
I only catch SNL on occasion when the music guest is i.m.o. worthwhile such was
the case when Franz Ferdinand appeared a few weeks back and Neil Young this
week. As always there is still too much filler. I would have agreed with the
theory about baby boomers giving undeserved respect to things they hold dear in regards to the original 1st seasons after
watching the 45 minutes or so to which they were trimmed down on comedy central
but some NBC affliates were running entire original episodes late at night
around 2000 or 2001.The episides I saw at that time made me come to the
conclusion that the CC 45 minute versions left in more of the crap skits. That
is the full episodes retained several clever and funny skits excised from the cc
ones for whatever reason..probably time constraints. Funny that i can only
remember the music guests from those (Sun Ra,B52s,DEVO,Elvis Costello were a few
that come to mind) . I also saw a few episodes of the Julia louis Dreyfus,Brad
Hall,Eddie Murphy,Tim kazurinsky era and saw Larry David (w!
ho was one of the writers at that time) used as an extra in one sketch. Larry
probably wrote himself into the sketch heh heh
Btw...Larry quit SNL and walked off the set in huff at that time only to realize
he had nowhere else to go and showed up to work the follwing Monday and acted
like it never happened. He used that scenario as a storyline for an episode of
Seinfeld with ,I believe,George (whom he based on himself)doing something
similar.
