...because you get Saturday Night Live and we´ll get it in Spain. If somebody reads that, he would think "ok, that´s nice, good". The bad thing is they´ll bring their own SNL, and that´s an horrible idea. Here we can´t do something like that, we don´t have too much good hosts, musicians or comedians, and I think we´ll get a bunch of retired comedians doing jokes about themes taken from the yellow press.

Too sad.

I'm sorry.

I really hate to be an egotistical mean person, but damn....THAT SUCKS!

Lorne, save us all! Don´t let the spanish TV do that!

Well I've never been to Spain, but I kinda like the music. Say the ladies are insane there, and they sure know how to use it.




ChAnOoD, I'm not sure what you're saying. You have a Spanish version of SNL? This is something that Lorne Michaels is making a profit from?

:neutral:

[Syd-Blues]

Probably, considering they'd have to use the name, unless it's literally 'SNL' and not Saturday Night Live.

Yes, we´ll have an adaptation of the USA show.

And for the moment, the promos and news looks really bad...

I'm so sorry.

Wow, we´ll get the first episode this THURSDAY night! Great to see that the people from this TV channel don´t know what the hell SATURDAY means!

Thats pretty funny!

But also suckish that they might mess it up or something. Sorry man.

[ChAnOoD_bLuEs]

Well, I saw it. And I think the best of the whole thing is that they have a live band (with a harp player, that was a nice touch). They did "SNL News" (that´s right, "our" spanish version of Weekend Update), the classic "More Cowbell" sketch, the Chris Farley japanese tv show skit and one more in a italian restaurant (I think it was based in one with Dana Carvey playing with a spice thing as a penis, but they didn´t do that in the sketch, we have one of the cast "making love" with one lady of the restaurant). All the skits were bad and unfunny.

They also have a bad monolog from the host, and they invited 2 (crappy) "music" "stars" to do some stupid things and play.

I didn´t care to much about the whole thing, but I almost cried when I see the presentation of the show (right after "live from NY..." in your country) because I was watching the same kind of intro for the show (famous buildings and streets, skylines, the same SNL font...)

(sob)

Man....
Sorry ChAnOD. Maybe they will get better?

Oh ... wow. I thought it was going to be fresh stuff in a different country. This, to me, sounds kind of crazy. So the Spanish "SNL" is just going to re-create skits from old SNL shows? Dang. That seems strange.

They are clearly picking up on some of the funnier skits. "Cowbell" with Christopher Walken, Farley on the game show ... these were some of the best ever. Dana Carvey with the pepper ... so funny the first time I saw it.

This seems kinda weird to me. Is Lorne gonna sell out to every country? Cripes.

Thanks for the updates, ChAnOoD. I find this very interesting.

Sorry, ChAnOoD...I'm just sorry...

[Steam McQueen]

So what I meant by this being strange is that they're re-doing classic SNL skits in Spanish. It's not uncommon for a popular show to be picked up in another country.

A recent example would be "The Office," which started in the UK. But as far as I know they aren't re-doing the UK scripts, it's new stuff for the American market.

Well, it's still interesting. It makes me wonder that if the ratings are decent in Spain, will Lorne be selling the old skit scripts to every country in the world? I suppose the writers don't mind. I figure they'd be receiving some royalty money from this.

Please keep us up to date on this stuff, ChAnOoD. Thanks.

Good point Steam

[ChAnOoD_bLuEs]

The first episode of SNL was one of the biggest success of the TV channel. One of the most viewed shows of the whole channel...

I find funny how the people of the spanish SNL send me a comment in the last post I did about the program in my blog. I got 5 posts about the spanish SNL (all bad), and in the last I got this:

Hola, me gustaria hacer un intercambio de links con tu blog.

Un saludo
Saturday Night Live

That means:

Hi, I´d like to have a link interchange * with your blog.

Greetings
Saturday Night Live

* I´m not sure if that´s the correct way to say that, but I think you´ll understand it.

So, I´m saying that the show was bad and they want to share my blog´s address in theirs!

[Syd-Blues]

Sabotage them!
