    Maybe they can get Barbara Billingsley on next time. And she's 94-and-a-half.

    Only watched through Weekend Update before going to bed so I missed the census short and the Golden Girls thing.
    However my thoughts on what I did see:
    - opening skit: awful
    - opening monologue: Great
    - Magruber shorts: Pretty good. The first one was the best, then the third one with him proposing to his nana was just weird
    - Muffin: Absolutely killed. The best of the skits I saw. Intentionally reminiscent of Schweaty Balls
    - "She's a Lesbian": Good for some laughs
    - The Spanish talk show: Pretty bad. Betty's line "No wonder he doesn't like tacos" saved it from being awful
    - Weekend Update: Really? What were thinking by wasting time with that Whitney Houston bit? It was awful. The elderly fitness bit was ok - Betty saved it. The "really?" part was lame, but good for a couple of laughs. The news part was kinda funny.
    - Since I don't care for Jay-Z's music can't fairly comment on his performance
    - I don't remember what other bits I saw

    Probably the best this season, but that's not saying much. Let's not go crazy here. Go watch any season when Dana Carvey was on and tell me again with a straight face that anything about last night's show was an all-timer.

    The last "all-timer" episode was last season when Timberlake hosted.

    Amen, Slappy. As much has it pains me to bash a Cleveland-area product, she's just never been funny. And to make matter worse, she kept pulling up her pants during the WU sketch.

    Molly Shannon cameltoe: Ewwww.

    Head over to Hulu. NBC's got most of the SNL stuff there. Or Huffington Post, or EW.com.

    Hey Piotr: Ya, I could have misread it. It was a long day. :)

    There are a couple that aren't out there on the web, namely CSI: Sarasota, which if anyone can steer me too it would be appreciated because I missed it due to taking a playoff baseball game.
