    I must be in the minority because I don’t hear very many people talk about season 10. It’s one of my favorites, and the cast was incredible. Billy Crystal, Martin Short, Christopher Guest, Harry Shearer, Rich Hall. People knock Jim Belushi but I felt he was solid on the show and carved out a really nice career, as did Julia Louis Dreyfus. You’d be hard-pressed to find a cast that accomplished more, after the left the show, than this group. Plus they bridged the gap between Eddie Murphy and the superstar cast of Farley, Spade, Hartman, Meyers, Sandler and Carvey.

    • @douglaslowe5
      @douglaslowe5 ปีที่แล้ว +8

      this cast was incredible. but the writing was inconsistent. Dick ebersol hired well known comic actors, rather than Lornes usual m o of hiring tv unknowns and launching their careers. Dick wanted to stay as ep but change the show to being all pretaped. NBC said no, and thank god Lorne came back.

      Yes, I absolutely agree. One of my reoccurring favorites was "Lifestyles of Relatives of the Rich and Famous." Another was Crystal and Guest in different jobs talking about how they hurt themselves intentionally, like a couple of masochists, then say, "boy, I hate it when THAT happens."

John frequently sought the advice of Abigail on many matters, and their letters are filled with intellectual discussions on government and politics. Her letters also serve as eyewitness accounts of the American Revolutionary War home front.

    Mr. Short was not my favorite SNL player. He was a solo comedian unlike the others who did skits. The Ed Grimley character is a good example, a goofy and amusing comedy act. But Mr. Short's Strangelovian lawyer character is his best. It is not only timeless but a warning, like on the side of cigarette packs, that this is how over half of the Republicans would behave regarding elections and other issues.
