I watched the original SNL back in the day. Haven't watched the current SNL in years.
I thought the special was overall well done, but was too long. The Californians skit was too long, and not terribly funny. Although it was nice to see the Betty White/Bradly Cooper kiss.
I felt that there could have been more Gilda Radner. Always loved her Roseann Roseanna Danna..It's always something.
Thought the Weekend Update was well done with the exception of Melissa McCarthy. Thought Jane Curtin looked great and she didn't miss a beat.
Too much Kanye West and Miley Cyrus. Both just need to go away. The both of them strike me as desperate and pathetic.
For those that enjoyed the political sketches and thought they were a bit thin in this show, they did a tribute on Meet The Press Sunday. Lots of Dana Carvey, and they had the one with him as Ross Perot driving the car with Admiral Stockdale.
Wish they would have showed more fake commercials, like the 1986 era Gaddafi Clothing line, The Gaddafi Look "Whether expanding your territorial waters or cutting off a tourist's hand, wear clothes designed my Col Muammar Gaddafi". They showed a split second clip of the Kluckin' Chicken restaurant commercial, he gets chopped up as I remember. Will probably never get to see the Zenith System 12 TV set commercial, 12 sets of everything because at Zenith, the parts go in before the name goes on. John Belushi's little chocolate donuts breakfast cereal. Steve Martin's stayfree peeny pads for men to catch those embarrassing little drips at the end so you dont get a spot on your pants after you finish. The baby Jesus doll X-mas tree decoration that lets out a long drone squeal every 5 minutes to remind you of your faith, the playdough factory kit that runs on cat poop.
Did I notice Kanye using Autotune during his singing parts? Probably bad timing ripping on Beck's artistry and then doing SNL 40. I wasn't impressed at all.
What is it with Kanye's Cro-Magnon man stance? Is that art?
I keep waiting for him to drag Kim onstage by her hair!
I didn't watch the show, but from the clips I saw online I didn't miss much. Maybe they need to seriously turn out the lights on SNL and call it a day.
My favorite cast was from around 1987 to 1992 with people like Carvey, Farley, Sandler, Myers, Spade, Miller, and Hartman. Farley and Carvey were so damn funny they could make me cry with some of their sketches. I nearly popped a vessel in my brain when I saw "Matt Foley" when it first aired.
Of course, I'd have to acknowledge the original cast was probably the most talented --- at least by judging from their movie catalog.
Since the early 90's, I don't find very many talented people coming out of SNL except for Ferrell and maybe Hader. Kristen Wiig seems very unfunny to me -- I don't get her appeal. Tina Fey and Amy Poehler have had mild success I guess.
There were a couple classic sketches I wish they had time for, the Czech brothers, Hans and Franz, the Roxbury guys, there was a little bit of canteen boy, but the most glaring ommison was Toonces the driving cat

You're right!!!!!!!! They forgot Toonces, and I used to look forward to seeing that cat all the time - he was a riot! They had THREE and a HALF hours, couldn't they just spend a minute or two - that was one of the funniest sketches. Also, spend more on Tracy Morgan's Safari "Brian Fellows" - yes, they showed a minute during a tribute to Tracy but that was all, unless I missed something

NBC/Comcast wont bury the cadaver until they start losing money. Then it's gone like a week old carp.

I thought he was dead.
