Whoops, missed two: "New or promoted cast members include...Kate McKinnon, blonde."
Tom Shales didn't notice that Kate McKinnon was a featured player last season, and is a featured player again this season. At least he noticed her hair color! "We can hope the comedy will become more adult as the election draws nearer. Michaels promised (or came close), during a brief chat on Friday, that a mock soap-opera called 'The Californians,' which debuted last season, will be back again this year, despite the absence of Wiig, one of its cast members. Armisen, still happily around, is probably more important to that one anyway." Tom Shales looks forward to one-joke recurring bits, becoming disappointed when his favorites aren't in a particular episode. (I'm pretty sure one of the other female cast members can handle putting on a blonde wig -- or I bet Kate McKinnon, blonde, wouldn't even need a wig -- and talking about freeway routings in order to take over Kristen Wiig's "role" on "The Californians.") -- Jim Ellwanger <[email protected]> <http://www.ellwanger.tv> -- TV or Not TV ....
