with the exception of a short time window from about 1993 to about 1997, about when norm got cancelled, and when i was in my early teens, i actually know almost nothing about saturday night live.

it was on saturday nights.

i didn't tend to find myself in front of a tv at midnight on sunday morning. 

we didn't have youtube back then, and i didn't have a pvr. i tuned out.

i probably would have watched it more if it was on sunday night or a night in the week. i watched a lot of conan when i was a kid, because it was on during the week.

in hindsight, that was kind of a high point for the show, i believe. they kind of lost the plot when they axed norm. and people started dying, which makes for bad comedy. i do have an opinion on cast members like will farrell and jimmy fallon, and it's not remotely positive. these were not funny people. at all.

but i just didn't watch it after about 1998, and nobody i knew watched it, and it never got spoken of. i really have nothing to say about it.

i have seen more reruns of sctv or monty python or older snl than i have of post-norm snl.
