Last night voice of God and anchor of the NBC Nightly News, Brian Williams, hosted the funniest Saturday Night Live of the season.
The opening sketch, about the Democratic presidential candidates at the Clinton’s halloween party, set the tone for the show as one of the more intelligent SNL in recent memories. That sketch was [...]

I can’t imagine watching television on a Friday night, especially with what the networks offer. Saturday night is the worst though.
ABC has an hour of Just for Laughs which offers up this synopsis: “A gorilla hanging from a tree surprises pedestrians.” Alright. Following that are two full hours of 20/20. I [...]

ABC has the season premieres of Ugly Betty and Grey’s Anatomy followed by the series premiere of Big Shots, which doesn’t have much buzz. It’s strange that ABC would fill their best timeslot with one of their weakest shows.
