I've been downloading this show for a month or so. I've never seen any of the actors except Baldwin before, and I'm in the UK so I'm surely missing out on a lot of the cultural humour and some of the gags. But I still love it! Tina Fey is so likeable, Tracy Morgan is a great actor (I get the impression from this thread that he'd previously been seen as something of a hack, amirite?), Baldwin is genuinely weird, and Kenneth lights up my life. I think I prefer it to The Office (both versions) and Curb. It's so merry and cheerful and silly.

Tracy Morgan is a great actor (I get the impression from this thread that he'd previously been seen as something of a hack, amirite?)

He was on SNL, which is mostly so crappy that no one looks good (he did much better here than most, though, in my opinion). Then he got a sitcom, which really sucked and was cancelled pretty quickly. He is displaying more range on 30 Rock.

i think i've got it all except the last 3 cons

CONS: LOVES FAMILY GUY

― David RER (Frank Fiore), Monday, 19 February 2007 04:12 (seventeen years ago) link

HAHA @ FAMILY GUY

Tracy was one of my favorites during his run on SNL. Brian Fellow and Astronaut Jones, as well as the wino in the sewer guy character, are some of the best recurring characters on SNL in the last 20 years.

The last three look like "attempted threeway, racist, uses Italian ? even though Irish".

Thanks for the culture deets, nickn. SNL is generally held in contempt then?

― caek (caek), Monday, 19 February 2007 11:15 (seventeen years ago) link

as well as the wino in the sewer guy character

yesssssss!

― jhoshea (jhoshea), Monday, 19 February 2007 14:02 (seventeen years ago) link

wears italian horn even though irish. lolzzz

haha wears acid wash denim. i think that would be the end of things for me.

tracy morgan was on SNL for a long time, so there were different phases

he's never been seen as a hack, but he has been known to be just as unstable as his character

i love filling in brits on US TV culture and vice versa

― this is cutty (mcutt), Tuesday, 20 February 2007 04:31 (seventeen years ago) link

Tracy likes to drink, and he likes to drive. His character on the show is 50% Martin Lawrence, 50% himself, but 100% genius.

― dan selzer (dan selzer), Tuesday, 20 February 2007 05:49 (seventeen years ago) link

the whole character is a parody of the "crazy black comedy actor" stock character, which is what makes it so fuckin great

― max (maxreax), Tuesday, 20 February 2007 05:51 (seventeen years ago) link

SNL _is_ generally held in contempt (right now, especially) but at the same time it is the premiere network sketch comedy show, so to be on it is still a pretty big deal. Tracy Morgan was on it in the mid 90s, when it was pretty classic, and he had some great roles. He's not really perceived as a hack, or much of anything, as I don't think he's really known at all outside of his SNL roles, since his show lasted for all of 2 seconds.

― musically (musically), Tuesday, 20 February 2007 06:09 (seventeen years ago) link

SNL was classic in the mid '90s? Um, er...

― Johnny Fever (johnnyfever), Tuesday, 20 February 2007 06:14 (seventeen years ago) link

Family Guy is hated in some circles more than others. Like, comedy writers vs. the same hipsters that are supposed to be their audiences. Careful with Family Guy hat, there.

― teasing your poultry (kenan), Tuesday, 20 February 2007 06:49 (seventeen years ago) link

hat=hate

― teasing your poultry (kenan), Tuesday, 20 February 2007 06:50 (seventeen years ago) link

(and I guess they were being careful, what with burying it in a list that was onscreen for 1 second.)

― teasing your poultry (kenan), Tuesday, 20 February 2007 06:54 (seventeen years ago) link

Your first sentence contradicts your second. SNL is beyond classic or dud anymore. It simply Is, like the universe simply Is. Sometimes an actor gets a spinoff movie, sometimes they do not. Sometimes an actor is very funny, sometimes medium funny, sometimes not funny at all, and this has no bearing on how long they stay on the show. It is random. It operates on a principle that the Christian right would describe as "Darwinism".
