The most irritating bandwagon jumping I've ever seen is when people say "SNL hasn't been funny since - insert year- " Now... I know it's not always gold, but I think there are a lot of diamonds in the rough. It's rare when a whole episode is garbage these days and the current cast is excellent.
The Digital Shorts are at least 80% amazing. I think the show could be a lot funnier if they weren't limited by Lorne Michaels'
tyrannical sketch selection process.
