It is a lot easier to be a good actor, and for good actors to consistently act good, then it is to be a good actor. SNL always has to be graded on the curve, which fluctuates from year to year. In recent seasons bad episodes are almost unwatchable by me, but above average ones are still pretty good, and I would say at least one out of three or four are even better than that. If you compare each current episode to the best episode you remember from when you were a "kid" (high school or college age) then you will always be disappointed. -- TV or Not TV ....
