[TV] Saturday Night Live S37E01

Saturday Night Live has been one of my favorite sketch-comedy shows for ages, and i was really looking forward to the beginning of this new season, and all i can say is that i was mildly content with it.

We notice from the presentation of the show that the cast is exactly the same as it was last season, which i feel is good, since i didn't feel the new guys got much air time last year.. in spite of that, Jay Pharoah didn't appear in ANY of the sketches of this season premiere, so we're kind of starting in the wrong foot in that area.
Radiohead's performance was amazing, and i guess i wasn't the only one being surprised that they used an additional drummer, something i don't know if it's permanent or just done for this one show alone. They played "Lotus Flower", off their album "The King of Limbs" for their first number, while their second song was "Staircase", which i understand is not present in any album. Like i said, they did an amazing show and seem to be doing better than ever.

As for the comedy sketches themselves, some of them got me laughing for a bit, but in general, i wasn't that entertained by them. I found it to be a very bland first show, but i trust things will pick up in the upcoming episodes.
