He's really big on those GIFs of Lois Griffin getting it from Brian.

It wouldn't be a creepy guy writing misogynist bullshit on Internet without a complete inability to employ paragraph breaks.

Catch Ghosts, or Dare Die Tryin'.

The problem is, I wouldn't want to watch that show either. That kind of backstabbing is more depressing than entertaining. If you want to watch a bunch of decent-to-fairly good comedians be dicks to one another, hang outside a comedy club after a bringer show.

To be fair, there was a long stretch where he gave us plenty of reasons to think otherwise.

I don't know if I want to take Paul Simon's opinion on why a woman should just shut up and be "grateful."

Just because you have no idea what you're talking about, that doesn't mean the person conveying actual information is "weird," "bizarre" et cetera. Historical fact isn't fringe. Most notably, this season/cast of SNL was the subject of a famously damning article at the time: http://nymag.com/arts/tv/fe… (And many…

Incidentally, the longest title I know of is also the best:

To be honest, I just picked a season in the middle of that period at then end of the 90s. In doing further research, I might actually change my selection to 98-99—the rise of Fallon.

Well shit, don't make this a choice between Stern or the Cheerleaders. I'd rather they both be cast into the unforgiving sea.

Oh, hey, look who's offended.

I was never much of a fan of Norm's Update; he's so deeply committed to his anti-intellectual bent that he treated the idea of actually following current events itself as a joke. Like, "haw haw, dummies actually think it matters who gets elected to public office!" My preference for the segment is focusing on real…

Even today, half the cast from that season will act all butthurt about that article—"he came in, acted like he loved us, then betrayed us!"

McKinney was more a replacement for Myers, who bailed in the middle of the season with surprisingly little fanfare.

Sometimes Rabin makes jokes. This is The AV Club, you're gonna have to get used to that.

I get why Season 20 is regarded as the show's nadir; for the most part, I agree. What I've never understood is how readily audiences then rallied around the next class of castmates. People gushed about the late 90s cast as a major turnaround for the show, but the appeal always eluded me.

I remember that sketch; I probably think about it once a week. If I recall correctly, it was called "Monsters of Monologue." At the time, I was a super weird kid who'd been following Spalding Gray since I was 11, and even I knew, "Holy shit, this is way too esoteric for SNL."

It's a question I've grappled with for 20 years: how do you go from playing the dad in D.A.R.Y.L. to SNL ringer?

Lez Zeppelin or GTFO

Let's finally give Cynthia Rothrock her due.
