Can someone tell me why, a show that garners a viewership of 1.5% of the population is considered a hit.

4.8 million. All from Poison Ivy League schools. Hoping to see SNL justify their love for Hamas terrorists.

What happened? Did they finally make fun of a Democrat?

Partly it’s because far fewer people are watching broadcast TV networks such as NBC than in previous decades. The highest rated shows nowadays have far fewer viewers, because there are so many choices with cable TV channels, internet streaming, You Tube channels, etc. to view.

So the top rated shows nowadays have far fewer people watching as a percentage of the population.

Cursory review online shows that the top primetime show this season is NBC Sunday Night Football, with 18 million viewers on average. That’s only about 5% of the population of the US watching.

I don’t know, but I do know this: it’s time for SNL to be canceled because the show just isn’t funny anymore.

Why do I hate and despise Pete Davidson so much?

Back when that show started pre VCR, I use to take naps to watch that show. For the last 20,years or so SNL wasn’t worth the effort to Program the DVR. It became too biased and not funny, good luck to them anyway.

People are hard up for entertainment. I remember holding off on going out on Saturday nights until we watched at least some of SNL. I never understood it, the women wanted to watch, us guys or just me wanted to go have some suds.
