Season 16 Review: What's clear about the current version of SNL is that the show has, to a large extent, sacrificed brilliance for consistency — you don't get extreme highs and lows, but you can watch comfortably, knowing that Hartman and company are giving you what David Letterman calls "solid, professional comedy."

Season 15 Review: The show, in short, is once again delivering laughs. So why, for a veteran fan, does the new Saturday Night Live still seem like a pale imitation of its old self? For one thing, the most popular bits -- Carvey's Church Lady, the body-building brothers Hans and Franz -- are the weakest parts of the show, crowd pleasers that depend on makeup gimmicks rather than nimble gags.

Season 24 Review: A prime example of SNL's conservative approach is Darrell Hammond's Bill Clinton impersonation: technically impeccable, right down to the contrite lower-lip bite, yet lacking any sharp satirical interpretation. Read full review

Another american show that has lived well past its prime, and with everyone being overly sensitive over any joke made possible, SNL has stooped so low for jokes they are housewife jokes. Nothing is funny and they constantly use pop culture/references to make a joke. Its crap and needs to die.

The show was funny for the first 5 years(1975-1980), but it has gone downhill ever since! The political skits of today aren't even funny. They are demeaning, humiliating, crude, and cruel!

This used to be a great show,until they turned political. If I want to watch politics I'll watch the news. I want to escape and laugh. Your not funny anymore.

Used to be funny. Too political now. Another victim of Hollywood's crusade to make us all drones
