I hope "Panic at..." has enough of a sense of humor to add more cowbell to their arrangements in Walken's honor.The BOC sketch is clasic and the Continental is a great recurrer, but Colonel Angus was probably one of the top five funniest things the show ever did - certainly one of the best sketches Tina Fey ever wrote. I can't see them ever doing a sequel, though. If he got busted down to Corporal, that would just be too German. Sorry, I'll scat now.

He could have picked any writer(s) in Hollywood, and had directors agreeing to death matches to direct them, all the while maintaining ultimate control over the final product. But the moron essentially wrecks the franchise by trying to have absolute control. Stupid, stupid, stupid, stupid, stupid.

What's so amazing about a show where the host isn't in every single sketch? I thought that was how they always did it and if they changed it, I never noticed. The host isn't always in the commercial parodies, cartoon, digital short, muppets segment, on Update or singing with the musical guest, either.

I noticed the usual politico contingent isn't here bawling about how SNL and or Tina Few isn't funny because they have a different political viewpoint, now that the show's opening with a sketch that flat out states that Hillary is going to lose.

I don't always get the Kristen Wiig love around here. Casey Wilson (the new girl, Walken's granddaughter in the surprise party sketch) is more my type. But Wiig was antic in that surpprise party sketch as Excitable Woman. Can you imagine having carnal relations with someone like that?

Glad they didn't do any sequel sketches - cowbell, colonel, cham-pan-ya. No need for an old man to compete with his younger self.

Walken did his Walken voice in every sketch because that's what you get when you hire him. But he created some bizarre characters. A guy who raises a bunch of potted housepalnts even though he's afraid of them? A gay co-worker/stalker? "I'm going to go choke him." I don't know what you kids want, but this was some insane shit. Oh, right, you wanted him to be in every sketch, sing, dance and relive his greatest hits.

And I LOVED his introduction to the band with the stupid name: he just reeled the words off like a sentence fragment, as if he'd never heard of them before that moment and they meant nothing to him - which is exactly how I felt about them, too. Except for the never hearing of them part - I think they were on the cover of Spin once. Best band intro since Christopher Lee's "Ladies and gentlemmmen, Meet... Loaf!"

RIP Charleton Heston. Cause of death as yet unspecified, damned dirty apes sought for questioning.

I just skimmed the TB to see what insightful comments you made about the show and actually you were right on every point. Walken is a funny dancer, he does have an odd, halting speech pattern, people do keep coming here to criticize the show and you don;t like David spade. Brilliant - right on all counts. People underestimate the value of your contributions here because of your confrontational non-sequitors. You're very a stute.

Although the word "stute" might not mean what I think it does.

Oh, and I don't like beating. The BDSM group I moderate, Bound_To_Please, doesn't allow any violent images, only restraint and mild discipline. And I usually photoshop any bruises out of pictures.

You know, it really is a crude song.
