Mike Ryan, who scores each SNL episode every week for HuffPo, agrees with Dave, rating it the best SNL episode of the year: http://www.huffingtonpost.com/mike-ryan/snl-scorecard-martin-short_b_2311527.html?utm_hp_ref=entertainment&ir=Entertainment I liked it a lot also - partly I guess because I have such a soft spot for Martin Short. The monologue was nice, but so derivative of several similar and maybe better ones that if it were anyone other than Short I would have been turned off. I liked Bennett, I liked the GYN sketch, and I'm sorry but I really liked the Peanuts sketch. And god help me, I never do not like What's Up with That? - though this perhaps was not their best. Paul McCartney is alive and well, and I only wish we could say the same about his old friend John, so I am happy. But frankly the last few times I have heard him (including whatever that was at the Olympics) have been very painful. But if my grandpa were alive I would let him sing whenever he wanted to also. -- TV or Not TV .... The Smartest (TV) People!
