An Opportunity for Relevance

This political season, people have the opportunity to make a difference. Everyone does. Everyone will be able to be relevant. That's not what this entry is about. This is about Saturday Night Live.

SNL was once a bastion of political humor, satire and veiled socially relevant commentary. SNL was the original "Must See TV". I didn't get a chance to watch it's first few years as I was too young, and I didn't understand the next 5 years. When I started watching was the end of it's Glory days, but was it good. It made me want more. As I got older, I watched the original SNL shows and they were damn funny, but they also made you think.

SNL has the publics attention. Tina Fey has gotten everyones attention, and has made SNL must download tv for now. It's up to the regular cast and writers to pick up the torch, take advantage of their new found audience and become relevant again.
