The Cool People



Saturday Night Live (1975-?):  The "real" Saturday Night Live ran from 1975-1980 with the original, Not-Ready-For-Primetime Players.  Since 1980, there have been good actors here and there, but everyone was pretty much separate...there isn't that "buddy" feel between all the performers.  But I feel the real death of Saturday Night Live came when Chris Farley left in 1995.  He was the show's last vestige of hope and the life of the party.  He guested once in 96 and again in 97, but the show had completely shifted gears.  The 2000s has not been a kind decade to the show.
