I always look forward to seeing SNL, but it seems to consistently fail me
The digital shorts are usually a hit or miss ..

I miss the 90's .. with Will Ferrel and Molly Shannon .. and even those wasn't as great as the past seasons

I didn't know they showed it in the UK, what channel is it on as i'd like to see it?

Yeah SNL has kinda gone downhill over the years. I'm not sure if it's the fault of the actors/writers though. I think it just might be because of the format. Comedy styles come and go and right now, sketch comedy just isn't very popular with people. Look at shows like The Office, Arrested Development, and Ali G. All very popular and critically acclaimed comedies, nothing to do with sketch comedy.
