SNL - what's going on? Racial and sex big players these day

OK, what's going on at SNL?

Love the cast - the women, in particular are stellar (Kate, Aidy, Cecily), but what's up with the NEWS? Yuk.

The millequetoast white guy (can't even remember his name) and the super racist Michael Che. Are you that unhappy, dude? Seriously? Your bitterness cuts through any jokes and makes me frown. You can do better, SNL. New cast on this, please!

Again, the women rock on this cast, but the super sexual skits are a bit much. Yes, yes, push the envelope as SNL should, but every week? Writing that has to resort to sexual every time is just lazy. Why else do you think 50 Shades of Grey sold?

Also, the racial content is bordering on being a yawn. This topic is played. Do a great skit with great writing now and then, but not every week and nearly every other skit. Bored. There is too much great content out there in the world to fall back on sex and race all the time.

Still love my SNL, but almost tough to get through an episode these day (especially the news). Bring back the days of Tina Fey, Amy, Seth.

That said, Kate's Hillary Clinton and the funny video vignettes (like spending the holidays at your parents with your boyfriend - awkward in your teenage single bed) are still perfection.
