You know, that first SNL season is really hit and miss, but they were so edgy; nothing else like them at the time. And yes, Ackroyd carried those first two seasons. Much ado was made when Chase left but the show improved when he did. Chevy Chase was never anything but Chevy Chase - in fact, I don't think he was a Second City veteran like the others, if I remember correctly.

I think Bill Murray's body of work is the best among any of the rest. He can do comedy and drama when he wants to. Yeah, he's mugged his way through a few movies, but he has such a sublety about him. Belushi coulda been great, but his last movie grossly underachieved (Nieghbors).

Meyers is a creative dynamo of sorts; he had a bunch of funny characters on SNL and outshined Carvey his last two seasons. But Love Guru never evolves past the premise of the initial pitch - we're just supposed to accept Meyers dressed up like a guru telling the same kinda Benny Hill jokes he got away with on the last two Austin Powers movies. He aped the Cowardly Lion from Oz for his Cat In The Hat role. Talk about resting on one's laurels.
