They have had their moments in recent seasons, particularly with the elections. I watch it on streaming replay, and skip entire segments.

Peacock has all 50 seasons of SNL online waiting to be streamed. I watched a 1980's episode with my pal Howard Cosell hosting last week, and didn't think the cast at the time were very funny.....

Kids nowadays may be puzzled about the fact that old typewriters featured "SHIFT", "SHIFT LOCK", "BACK SPACE" and "TAB" keys, as well as the @ sign in pre e-mail times, and may wonder as well why number 1 was usually missing in the top row.

I was 20 in the 70s and next month I'll be 70 in the 20s.

I know there are already a few guys in their 70s here and I'll be proud to join the club!
