Pumpkin Escobar...
May be the only episode I watch this year. Hope that hack Seth Meyers
has some material good enough for Hugh.

Keith Baird...
According to the buzz, they have a cunning plan.

Patty Winter (patty1...
Yeah, well, unless it involves bringing in Richard Curtis, Ben
Elton, and/or Rowan Atkinson as writers, I'm not holding out
much hope for that cunning plan being successful.

Smid...
Perhaps if they got a time machine and went back to get them from 20
years ago, before they did Vicar of Dibbley, Thin Blue Line or Mr Bean.

Still, I might watch that one. If I know when its broadcast, is it the
one just shown or the one to come?


ravenlynne...
I wonder why they haven't taken the hint from Studio 60 yet and hired
someone to write for the show that is actually funny.

David...
The ratings are still high and they're trying to operate on a budget.
It's cheaper just to maintain a random double entendre generator.


Mindless sexist bigot...
Maybe it's a generational thing. Most youngsters don't get Hyacinth
Bucket.

You have to face facts - TV is run by 30 year olds trying to appeal to
15 year olds.


Pat...
That would be a first, wouldn't it? As much as I love Hugh Laurie, I
don't know that I could ensure the 90 minutes of dreck that constitutes
SNL.


ravenlynne...
I, as a rule, never watch SNL. I think I might watch this one though...
