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.
