I am still, here in Canada, at a time where I can spend weekends at camp/cottage/lake house prior to winter. This means I have to watch snl on the DVR on Sunday night when I return home. (Yes, I'm too cheap to stream shot loads of data at our stupid rates). This is after watching twitter on my phone during the day at camp (yeah, I call it it camp).
I really liked Seinfeld. Never got into Curb. .... The monologue was painful. My wife asked "who is this? Why would the producer host the show? ". Yes, you may laugh here. We watched Baldwin and update. Other than that it was fast forward. Even over Miley. Trump brothers WERE funny.
