Most shows were completely forgettable, and yet I thought there was an occasional sign of life that made me feel hopeful for next year. However, there's a very good chance that I've been tricked there, because although I felt it was good to see some of the newer cast members seem to find voices, I'm can't prove that I actually like almost any of those voices. Bill Hader might threaten Daryl Hammond's 73 year run with his ability to mimic, and Andy Samberg seems to be the hot thing with the kids, but I just don't see any stars. I did like the original A-holes sketch, and I didn't mind them coming back. I don't love Tina and Amy on update, and it makes me just straight up suspicious when one episode (Alec Baldwin) was good beginning to end, and I don't think you could piece together a better episode if you took apart all the other episodes in the season. And for second place? I might have to go with Matt Dillon's episode. Weird. Here's hoping that the SNL 2 shows followed by 2 or 3 reruns schedule can come up with some better stuff next year.

Even though it was a q&a, I think Tom Hanks' monologue -- perhaps the best sketch in that episode -- was the best recent one. (And remember when songs were the go-to? What happened?)
