TV critic Alan Sepinwall's recent views, you must take into account Rubin's timeframe with the show: As a child growing up in the late eighties/-nineties I fell in love with Dennis Miller, Adam Sandler, Phil Hartman, Chris Farley, David Spade, Mike Myers, and Dana Carvey. I consider these years, some of the greatest years in SNL history. I understand I am at a bit of a disadvantage considering I was only born in 1984, and to judge SNL based on these years is akin to judging Marlon Brando’s career based on The Island of Doctor Moreau, but I have been privileged to view their reruns on their cable stations such as Comedy Central and E!
reruns.
