Saturday Night Live officially blows. I've tried to watch it this year with objectivity, but man it's just awful. Lindsay Lohan hosted last year and I thought the skits were funny. This time around, horrible. Not one laugh. I guess the cast that they have just isn't very talented or is burned out. Some of those older guys just don't have much left in the tank. Unless they are in skits revolving around being old, like the one where Chris Parnell tries to act cool to impress his high school babysitter on the ride home. (Not even this premise, an easy one to execute, managed to work for the audience.)
So while I'm enduring this completely awful season finale tonight, what do I see that makes me want to gouge my eyes out even more than ANOTHER Hardball parody? A commercial for the Honeymooners. Apparently they made a movie version of this classic television show? Here's the catch....Ralph Kramden is black. What the fuck? Is this real? Not that I have a problem with movies starring African Americans, it's just that besides the fact that Cedric the Entertainer is not funny, Ralph Kramden is an icon. You just don't do shit like this. I'm appalled. Jackie Gleason is lucky he is dead.
