It's time for SNL to vacate and let the Saturday Late Movie come back.
Tina Fey and Amy Poehler are not necessarily funny as much as they are lucky. The SNL brand is still milking (no pun) it's rep from it's 70s heyday, and not nearly as funny as they want you to think it is. While they're sitting there talking about all of their 'inspirations' how about putting Gilda Radner, Larraine Newman, and Jane Curtain on the list. Remember those guys? The ones that actually made SNL worth watching? The ones that didn't have to rely on fart jokes to be funny? The SNL of today means cracking up in the middle of a sketch on live TV...never seen that before. How genius. I'm sure 'Baby Mama' is filled with the same 'check out how topical and funny I am' writing as much as 30 Rock and SNL are. Sounds like a must avoid to me. I'll put movie ticket money on the Mad TV Season One DVD instead. A MUCH better and funnier show by far
