I love SNL. The only bad thing I could say about it is that it went from being a place where the music was 100% live and awesome, to now, where the pop bands mostly have their recorded song playing and they half lip-sync to it. But I suppose that's more of a problem with today's music industry than SNL.

If show was originally pitched towards people in their 20's then it is now in its Golden Years.
They didn't start out showing fare for the Teletubby set (or whatever toddlers were watching back then).
Don't believe me, try googling images for ' SNL "original cast" "then and now" ':

The talent level has dropped about one notch for every decade the show has been on television. I think Seinfeld had it right - end it while on top and before the material and creativity gets stale. SNL is long past that point now.
