Is last night's SNL par for the course for this season? I watched the opening skit, the monologue, the fake ad, and the first skit. None of them were all that good.
First off, I can't even remember the opening skit. Considering that's supposed to set up the show, nice job there. Catherine Zeta-Jones' monologue was OK, mostly her tap dancing while singing how regardless of her performance, no one can take her Oscar away. But in the middle of it she makes an off-hand reference to dropping the F-bomb, which is a little unseemly given the recent death of Charles Rocket.
Then there's an ad about bum cancer or something which is mostly an excuse for the actors to talk like fourth graders, but with a straight face. The first skit, where Zeta-Jones plays a CNN reporter whose appearance degrades over time while covering a disaster in Afghanistan (and then, somehow, Hurricane Wilma), was incredbily pointless.
I packed it in at that point. I'm told it didn't get any better. Why does a reprise of Saturday Night's Main Event sound like a good idea?
