East Costers: SNL: worth staying up or no?

[hlthe2b]

Probably need my "beauty sleep" more, but hate to miss out.... All opinions welcome...

[Bicoastal]

1. Not on yet.

[fadedrose]

2. Will let you know within 45 min. whether the beginning was worth watching nt

[hlthe2b]

3. much appreciated...

;)

[European Socialist]

4. Record it. Usually most of it sucks and you can FF through it.

[hlthe2b]

5. I'm in a hotel room, so not an option...

[tomreedtoon]

23. So see if you can get it off Bittorrent.

Although, given the dullness of the show recently, you might not be able to get it.

[flvegan]

6. Another 7 minutes until it's on.

Usually the opening skit is a good barometer. If experience is a teacher, I'm going with "no".

[underpants]

7. I doubt it

hasn't been funny in years

[SoCalDem]

8. Amen to that ! n/t

[liberal N proud]

9. It just started

[doc03]

10. Funny so far they have the Big 3 testifying

to Congress on c-span. Usually it's all downhill from the opening though.

[fadedrose]

11. Beginning is good

Barney Frank interviews heads of GM, Chrysler & Ford about their requests for loan.

Some good lines.

Don't know what else will be worthwhile. Sometimes it's all junk after the beginning until the "news" comes on....

None of the girls are in the beginning slot, just one I'm not familiar with.

12. Go to bed

You won't miss much. I lasted 20 minutes, and I'm asking myself why I even held out that long.

Terrible material, even by current SNL standards. They'd better hope Sarah Palin keeps doing stupid things.

[Lex]

13. No, Sucks.

[Elwood P Dowd]

14. Yep, I turned it off.

Not worth watching again.

[Generic Brad]

15. Central time

Affirmative. The opening scene was good. The turkey sketch was entertaining. The James Bond bit was funny. Go for it!

[hlthe2b]

17. was the turkey sketch about Palin?

[Generic Brad]

18. No

It was about turkeys. And it made me laugh.

[onehandle]

16. Not since 1980. nt

[babydollhead]

19. good night. I wish I had gone to bed 45 minutes ago

[fadedrose]

20. Arianna Huffingon on "the news" is well acted...

I don't know sho she really is...

The rest was okay, but I miss Amy Pohler..

[wisteria]

21. Not tonignt. n/t

22. I guess I'm in the minority again this weekend, but I kinda liked it.

It wasn't great or anything, but I did laugh a good bit. Tim McGraw was much better than I thought, in fact, he was quite good. Darrell Hammond did a terrific Bill Clinton (again), new featured player, Michaela Watkins did a very good impression of Arianna Huffington, and Will Forte did a scathing impression on the very old, white-haired, crazy "Democrat" Zell Miller from Georgia. The skit, during Weekend Update, was about Miller ranting in his nutso manner about Jim Martin, the Democrat who's in a runoff for the US Senate here in Georgia against asshole incumbent mofo Repuke Saxby Chambliss. I appreciated the timeliness of the Jim Martin comments, even if it was just Forte-as-Miller ranting about Martin's name. (You had to see the skit to appreciate it. Zell Miller is really a wacko).
