Tribute to Rod Roddy
This guy was a great announcer. For real, everything positive has already been mentioned about Rod. I really didn�t give a damn on what Jimmy did at Rod�s expense, but it doesn�t change the fact that Rod will be missed, and was always in a great mood whenever he did his announcing. He wasn�t as energetic during his final years, and it�s now obvious why.
Sports
PITT is dominating in the Big East, and that�s pretty much all the positives on sports on my end. And how long will Kansas City be undefeated?
My Game
2003 really is flying by very rapidly. Fortunately it�s affecting the SNL season. Also, it�s affecting the SNL PG. A quarter of the season has come and gone, which means it�s time for the awards outlook and other stuff pertaining to the game. If you haven�t played the game, you still can, and you�ll also have a better chance of ranking high at the end if you start now.
The Show
There can�t possibly be three straight bad shows, can there?
On with the review!
20/20
Great stuff. While Amy�s impression of Martha was nowhere as good as Ana�s, at least it�s not like it�s a recurring bit. At least for now that�s the case. While Amy�s impression of Martha was nowhere as good as Ana�s, at least Rachel�s impression of Barbara Walters was right on point.
98/100
MONOLOGUE
Another audience thing, and the second in as many shows
70/100
CRYOGENIX
This sucked.
50/100 � Original Score * 2 for pity reasons
Z105
Again, SNL goes back to pimping Fallon by putting him in this now recurring bit that hasn�t surfaced in over a year. Of course, it sucked, but at least it was Jimmy�s only appearance sans WU.
40/100
BATTLE OF THE SEXES II
Whenever people impersonate the Williams sisters, it turns into comedy gold. But Darrell really needs to go back to his recurring impressions. And Fred can join Horatio when Horatio gets fired, for all I care
80/100
MRS. DALRYMPLE
I could care less for Parnell, but whenever he makes fun of himself and the characters he�s playing, it�s comedy gold. Other than that, YAWN!
65/100
RECAP OF MRS. DALRYMPLE
Thank you!

OATES AND HALL
So close, and so far away from me actually tuning out of this man-eating show. I was thinking that I could give this skit a decent grade, but I can�t go for that. Yeah, it has Forte and Armisen, and yes they often bring the funny, but no can do. Just can�t do it. Not. Gonna. Do it.
It�s unfortunate that SNL couldn�t make my dreams come true by writing a Hall and Oates sketch that I enjoyed. It was a great sketch, but it wasn�t all that funny and definitely could have been better. Therefore, an A grade is out of touch, and I�m out of time, which means it�s time to review the next segment.
88/100
CRAP
This bit may actually lead me to hoping that Andy joins Chevy and Martin on being in the �black book� of people who can�t host the show anymore.

AND NOW HERE IS TONIGHT�S VERY SPECIAL MUSICAL GUEST
Dave was just average. That�s it.
75/100
SATURDAY NIGHT NEWS
I think I�m going to add something to my game where one will guess whether or not Horatio shows up at the Update desk. It�s getting pretty old.
Thank God for Tim Calhoun. Will Forte should really be carrying the cast since he�s pretty damn funny. Unfortunately, SNL decides to pimp Fallon and Horatio, which may be a factor as to why the show sucks now.
83/100
TENNIS TALK
While Maya did nothing here, the Andre impressions were pretty good.
99/100
MERV THE PERV
When this last came on, people were complaining on how Chris was channeling Will Ferrell too much. But this is funny, and whatever it takes to make SNL funny is good with me. Unfortunately, like last time, this surfaced too late.

No comment

JOCK TALK
John should have hosted the show. He basically was the only thing that was consistently good tonight.
74/100
ACTION NEWS 13
This started out funny, but it just died down at the end. I kind of wished they had cut this off midway for time purposes. I probably would have awarded this with a better grade. Otherwise, it was good for the most part. Since the technical difficulties from a few years ago starring Will and Ana was channeled by this, I enjoyed this.
95/100 � original score plus 15 for this making up for most of the other stuff
Total: 1202
Average: 75.125
This show was about average. There were some funny things, and then there were some other things that just sucked. IMO, it was about 50/50 in good and bad.
