Everybody in show business should be given a mulligan for whatever they put on the air this fall. It's a monumental effort just to get a show on the air and obviously the rhythm of the week built up over 45 years isn't there. And as much as the mental strain of these last 9 months is getting to everybody, for SNL performers who are dealing with high pressure in normal times, this season has to be taking them to the edge. And I have nothing against McKinnon. SHe has her talents and SNL might be a good place to let her develop her skills for a national audience and get her name known. My problem with her is that there are years when one cast member stands out and they can be called on to carry the show when the material is thin. McKinnon is getting that role and she isn't up to it. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "TVorNotTV" group.
