Eh, people have acted like SNL has jumped the shark for 30+ years. The reality is that it's always been about 20% bad, 70% mediocre, and 10% brilliant. It's just that all but the brilliant fade from memory over time, so we constantly think it's worse now than in the past.

Not sure if its the writers, the talent or both But I would also be a liar if I didn't admit that this current crews need to inject their politics into seemingly every skit is a big part of what turns me off... its always been a liberal show, but these guys are just sooo in your face with it lately |

I can agree with that. I don't really watch live these days and instead just catch the replays of specific sketches on YouTube. It's a lot easier to avoid the blatantly political stuff.

It’s funny I used to think the show jumped the shark when Keenan Thompson became a cast member. I thought why the hell are they hiring the guy from good burger. Over the years he grew on me and now he’s one of my favorite cast members.

Helps because the continuing draw of SNL is not unlike live sports. Outside the broad parameters, you don't know what is coming next. Generally, if I catch SNL, it's the morning after on the SNL channel youtube playlist, in the background while I do other Sunday morning things. If something catches my eye, I sit down and pay more attention. Otherwise, I 'get the gist.'
