For the reviewers that haven't posted lately, if you want to give me your grades for the eps missed, I'll add them in. No need to elaborate on past eps if you don't have the time.

UPDATE: added Jadzia's and lotsofdvds's grades, but it still averaged out to a C+. Feel free to jump in whenever Detective Thorn and das.

Must be a slow day on the forums today... we're about 5 hours from the start of the ep.

Please be funny, please be funny, please be funny...

Not sure what I'm expecting for today's show but I'm looking forward to the Drew Barrymore one.

Now, inevitably, there will be some sort of Entourage parody. So, who within the cast will play whom?

I am assuming that Amy Phoeler will somehow weasel her way into the role of Eric, and that a poorly done height joke will be made.

All I know is that I am hoping and praying for a Kevin Dillon cameo...

Second mic screw-up of the night. At least we know there's no backing track, or maybe that was screwed up too.

What an uneventful episode.


BTW, remember that thread about the hottest SNL cast members ever?

I actually thought it was a great episode minus AFI. I like AFI...but Love like Winter sounded like crap live and Miss Murder got jacked up with sound problems...and yes Davey could ease up on the gay dance moves.

Amy's joke about Miss New Jersey during WU had me

I didn't think it that bad, the only really bad thing was the Digital Short.

Best skit all night.

Wtf was going on during that band's second song? And wtf was going on with that band in general? I kind of dropped off the face of the earth as far as new music is concerned....weird. Thought the music was cool, but the vocals were lame.

I really liked the "Really!?!" segment on WU.

I actually like AFI, but their appearance on SNL was just plain shitty from start to finish. Vocals on Love Like Winter were godawful, Miss Murder suffered from already mentioned audio mixing problems and something that drove me mad: Why the fuck would they change the lyrics "Take my life" to "Take my heart"? You cannot even say "Take my life" at 12:45am on a Saturday night? Just a highlight of how lame AFI was tonight.

Not a bad episode. It got some laughs from me. Even though it was 20 years too late, I liked the "McGruber" skits. The skit with Common was good too.

Since the Atlanta sports radio scene is all up Michael Vick's jock, this segment was hilarious to me.

I thought the show absolutely stunk. From start to finish. I only laughed three times. Once with Wiig showed the picture of what she wanted her baby to look like. And the other two times were when AFI were performing.
