Aside from the standout Dinner Party film, January Jones was consistently awkward, and the sketches, as a whole, were groaners. Around the time of the Rear Window bit, I turned to the boyfriend and said, "It's gonna be one of those nights." And indeed, it was. Where's Bear City when we need it?!<br /><br />By the way, Darrell Hammond officially retired from SNL at the end of last season. Whenever we see him now, it's just a guest appearance.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7358074205208429193.post-55795756145450261952009-11-15T08:05:24.380-08:002009-11-15T08:05:24.380-08:00I totally agree that January Jones did seem nervou...I totally agree that January Jones did seem nervous, but she got better as she went. And yes there was way too much focus on farts and bathroom humor. But I feel like SNL resorts to this stuff every few years (think early Chris Farley). It goes in cycles. And for all this weeks faults there was still some bigger laughs than in the past two episodes for me.dave romanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11350338263660879645noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7358074205208429193.post-22410704849380748922009-11-15T00:20:46.833-08:002009-11-15T00:20:46.833-08:00You are extraordinarily charitable in your reviews...You are extraordinarily charitable in your reviews. I've been watching SNL since about 1980 and this was probably the worst overall episode I've ever seen. The "Rear Window" sketch was without a doubt the single un-funniest sketch I've ever seen them attempt.<br /><br />I've pretty much given up on SNL at this point. I think it's beyond saving.PNB Davehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16988862859882163569noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7358074205208429193.post-55211870371377446372009-11-14T23:39:14.527-08:002009-11-14T23:39:14.527-08:00Maybe it is just me, but it seemed like the beginn...Maybe it is just me, but it seemed like the beginning was a little hectic. As if the time required to learn the material was not sufficient for the actors. All of the actors did a professional job with what they had to work with. Also, I believe there were more commercial-back to SNL for five seconds-commercial breaks than usual. I would like to see the actors become less reliant on the teleprompter because it will result in a better skit. To be more spontaneous if they have that liberty. Like John Belushi was at his best. SNL usually ends with the host on center stage saying goodbye. Not this time. Makes me think that this weeks' show was not as polished as they and I would like for it to be. Go SNL!Scotthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01125852590921706044noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7358074205208429193.post-13289356115561113152009-11-14T22:38:05.047-08:002009-11-14T22:38:05.047-08:00January Jones was a solid host?

She was nervous, halting, broke up over nothing, and even asked which camera to look at as her wildlife guide scene opened up. The writers gave her crap to work with though - literally...fart jokes ad nauseum. Awful episode.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12218523736802157484noreply@blogger.com
