Overall this week was an improvement over the first two episodes this season. Missing in this week's episode was Andy Samberg's digital short. In fact Samberg was fairly absent from the entire episode, but I guess everyone has a down week sometimes. It would be nice also to see more from Will Forte. Although he's hit and miss with his ideas, Forte brings an absurd element the show needs. Though the show needs to focus on sharper writing, this week was an indication the show could be headed in the right direction.

I think Fey absolutely had to come back and do the Palin thing when she did. You simply can't let something like the Couric interview go without parody.

Yes...it was almost as funny as the actual interview.
Some of us are hoping for more yuks on Thursday night. Last Friday's debate was notably short on laughs.
With the world falling apart around us, is it too much to ask that our candidates be entertaining?

The debate was amazing. Besides, weekend update, it was the best thing of the night.
