A Word or 89(approx):
One thing I didn't mention over the weekend was Sunday's SNL In the '90s because I thought it woudl suck. I was right. First, why did it take them 7 years to come up with this 2 hours of dreck? Second, the equal emphasis of the (pathetic) music acts and the comedy was a mistake - the show is an hour and a half with 2 songs in it, the show is (supposed to be) comedy. A better show could have been done and it could have been done sooner than this.

Have you ever watched How I Met Your Mother or do you just lump it in with the bad fat husband-skinny wife sitcoms because it's on CBS? I think it's the first sitcom that ever really matched my life.
Brianne, thanks for your note - I have watched that show a few times as I think the Josh Radnor/Bob Saget pairing is particularly brilliant. I have a problem with the way CBS "rock-blocks" its comedy, they do nothing to make this show stand out or promoteit and my fear is that they will start bumping it around on the schedule before killing it off. I think the writing is the best of all CBS' Monday night comedy offerings but it sticks too closely to the 40+ year-old 3 camera sitcom paradigm. Somehow NBC has a lineup that is a bit more compelling and creative (not that they don't have viewership problems) - I think CBS could learn a few things. I can't even remember the last time I saw a promo for this show. Thanks again for your readership.
