'Mega Python Vs. Gatoroid' review: So bad, it was... pretty bad. Putting the squeeze on Debbie Gibson and Tiffany...

Most of the time, however, Saturday Night Live seemed to start its holiday vacation early, with a show that consisted of fitful charm, familiar characters and targets, and a series of sketches whose punchlines were telegraphed by their titles. READ FULL STORY »
