What I've learned reading all these reviews here is right wingers hate this show because it makes fun of their idol. As an independent I can say I think it still is a funny show. Yeah the writing can fall flat sometimes and that's always been the case since I started watching in the 70's. If the skits making fun of your idol anger you so much then you need to lighten up. It's supposed to be all in good fun. Since the beginning SNL has been making fun of all presidents, both Democrats and Republicans. Don't be such snowflakes.
