I've been watching SNL on and off for a long time, and the same thing always happens. People always talk about how it used to be good when this or that person was one, but now it sucks. It NEVER seems to be any good now, but was always good when someone else did it. People used to say how good it was when Dennis Miller did weekend update and how much Norm Macdonald sucked. Then it was hoe good Norm Macdonald was and how Tina Fey sucked. And how good Jimmy Fallon was but Amy Poehler sucked, and now that Amy Poehler has announced she is leaving, she is now, "The last funny one".
Well, I'm sure SNL has its ups and downs, but as time passes you will forget the crappy stuff and remember the funny stuff, and this season will be funny, too. Enjoy the funny stuff, forget the junk, and look forward to next week, even if your favourite isn't on the show anymore.
Edit: BBS made the point a wee bit more succinctly.
