An effing entertaining "SNL" premiere

The rest of cast was crap (at least what I saw of the episode).  Actually...I take that back.  Kristen Wiig was kickass cool.

SNL used to be about 'smart' humour, with some drunken frat boy humour thrown in every now and then....now it seems to be 99% of the latter.  Honestly, I don't think that the show has been good for years. 

She played a flight attendant, a hooker, a mail-order bride, and herself. I wasn't impressed with the episode, and Biker Chit Chat was one of the few funny skits the entire night.

Also, soooo over U2.

As hot as she is, I didn't think Megan Fox was that great. The writing has gotten pretty dismal over the past few seasons (since Tina Fey left, pretty much) and I didn't get that many laughs out of the season premiere. Perhaps it will improve, but I probably won't be watching much more of this season. Shame.

And isn't Kristin Wiig pretty much carrying that whole show now? The woman's a superhero! The rest of the cast need to step up!

The world didn't come to an end when the F bomb dropped, censors should F-N ease up and let late night be more natural. We shouldn't have to pay for cable to real how people really speak.

This is the most laudatory post about SNL's return that I've seen. It's been panned by most I've read.

For all the hype, Megan Fox did a pretty lousy job.  She did ok on the monologue, but otherwise... I've seen better acting at a middle school play.  I don't understand the appeal of Megan Fox.  To me, she's perfectly ordinary looking and so far, rather talentless. 

The rest of the show wasn't good either, what I saw of it.  I turned it off after the Weekend Update.  The whole cast seemed totally off. People were missing their cues, reading off the cue cards.  It was as if none of them had rehearsed the show.  Really a poor overall showing. 

watched some of the clips last night....

Kristen Wiig has gotten a lot funnier lately. I enjoyed "Your mom talks to Megan Fox while you get ready..."

That's about it.

Completely off the subject of Megan Fox, but I'm pretty sure if Justin Timberlake became a cast member, things might improve....

Geez, TV stations get a fine if someone's swearing on-screen? how much? That's utterly ridicolous. lol

What's the point of that? I don't think I learned any swearwords from TV which I didn't already knew from school. The point is to teach children how/when to (not) use them. Get over it.

I thought Megan Fox did ok, I mean we all know that she isn't the most talented actress but she sure tried. I was expecting more laughs, but all I had were chuckles everyonce in a while. Kristen Wigg pulled her side of the rope, since she was the funniest of the bunch. What a shame, the digital shorts were lame too.

I don't think Megan Fox is that great but I did like her monologue, and the Biker Chick talk skit was really bad. The only good part about it was the swearing and face that followed it.

And seriously, so what if there is a bit of cursing on TV? American TV has no problem with violance and sexual content, but one little word?

Best part of the SNL episode was the "just kidding" during Weekend Update. And the Weekend Update Thursday on Thursday.

I dont get the big deal.......?

She said a word?

Sooner or later, you're gonna hear words like that in the big bad world. I also take that SNL is a kind of adult show? So, whats the problem? (SNL is not showed in Ireland)

As for megan fox-

Not so great acting. i always wondered how she ever became a actress. she's a hot woman but thats about it. the only roese she plays are ones thats close to soft porn. I wish they would give ehr proper acting roles or soemthing.

sorry...i'm not impressed with megan fox and i don't think she's that great of an actress. she's hot, but that's about it.

as for the f-word i wish we could stop this puritanical bullsh*t already, and use four letter words the way we use them in life.

Maybe I just have a really foul mouth but I didn't even blink when that happened. All I noticed was how horribly unfunny the whole skit was.

What happened to SNL? It's sooooooo bad these days.

 so weird. I was watching SNL and I didn't notice the F'bomb! I guess she did a good job recovering.

"When you stop talking, you start communicating." - Joss Whedon

But SNL has definitely seen better days.  The show just needs to be put to rest.   

Yeah, SNL really has not recovered from the loss of Tina Fey and Amy Poehler, among others. The only genuinely funny cast member is Kristen Wiig, and the show would sink badly without her.

Megan Fox was okay, but they didn't really give her much to work with.

As for the F-word slip....I honestly didn't notice. No idea it even happened until I read about it after.
