I'll admit, I was a MadTV fan for a while about five years ago. But as I began watching over and over again, I started to see how juvenile and ridiculous most of the humor was. Everything is swearing, violence, sexuality, etc. Not that I'm saying that SNL doesn't do that, but SNL uses many jokes to try and spice up a sketch whereas, in my opinion, MadTV doesn't. But again, every has their own opinion. In my opinion, SNL is the supreme sketch comedy show and always will be. Even if you hate SNL, you must respect the work ethic of writers and performers' six sleepless days right before going into a 90-minute LIVE television show!

I admit, my writing has faltered since my beginning here, and I blame it on my computer, as well as my writing too quick. I wrote another sketch for Hilary Swank episode, and again it froze right before I could save it. I was so pissed!!!! I can't wait to get my new computer up in my room, and hopefully get immediate Internet access.

Writing for a living in any comedy show would be a huge dream of mine. And, as shocking as it may sound, if I was offered a writing job at MadTV, I would take it. But the almighty paradise would be at SNL. I have so much respect for that show, it is insane.
