'SNL' Scorecard: Kristen Wiig's Repetitive, Bloody Return
http://www.huffingtonpost.com/mike-r...b_3262621.html
Last year, we watched Wiig perform all of her best-known characters one last time. When I first heard that Wiig was coming back already to host, my hope was that she would have integrated herself into what this version of the cast has been doing. Basically: keep her old characters retired and show us some new things. Nope. Instead, we saw five of Wiig's recurring characters. Honestly, this is like grading a greatest hits album of a band whose deep cuts you prefer. (I don't really blame Wiig for this. I can see the writers having "How do I get my stuff on the air?" flashbacks from last season, resulting in the words "Target Lady" being yelled at the pitch meeting.) Well, whatever. Onward to a very recurring and uninspired Scorecard ...

I agree with the review. Too many old characters. We've seen that kind of monologue too many times. Vampire Weekend were great. We didn't see Wiig's best character - Kathy Lee Gifford. Never liked the Target character. Lawrence Welk character is good, but been done enough. Californians is only funny to watch them break.
Moynihan will be the male star of the show when Hader and Sudeikis are gone.
