My second review is about a TV show. In fact, the longest running TV show of all time.
SNL is a live late night comedy-sketch show. They are currently in their thirty-sixth season. I have heard many mixed opinions about the show. Some people believe that the show is so un-funny that it should be canceled, others think that it is 100% hilarious. I disagree with both. In my opinion, SNL is a really hit-miss show. They have good days, they have bad days. It is never 100% funny, but is still consistently funny. The people that think that it should be canceled I believe over-think the show. The show is not supposed to tell jokes or express opinions that everyone agrees with. It is not supposed to be a really classy late night show. In some ways, I think the show is a little bit immature. But that immaturity is what makes it so fun to watch. People may have different opinions, but in mine, the cast in its entirety is very funny and talented. All SNL is is a kind of show that is not found commonly on television anymore. It is a show where magic can happen, and that may seem corny, but it's kinda true. Where else are you going to see a guy pretending to be a city correspondent talking about insane clubs completely break character and crack up? Or a joke totally fall flat, and have cast members scramble to keep the audience of their side? In some ways, the shows mistakes are what make it so great. This is currently my favorite TV show.
P.S. About the city correspondent. He's on a segment called Weekend Update. Look it up and watch, it's pretty hilarious :)
