I find it amazing it's been on for 50 years.

It's one of those shows that's really never good, if you're lucky there's two decent skits a night. Once in a while you get a one that goes for a while, and spawns off a mediocre movie.

I know the thing to do is say "oh it was good when x and y were still on there", but going back and re-watching episodes with my favorites, they are still full of duds.

Sure, there are a handful of classic skits and characters but I just don't see how it lasted this long. Is it the timeslot? Is it incredibly cheap to produce? Is it just a tool for NBC to push whichever stars have a new movie or what not out?
