Amy Poehler Best of just like the last season of the OC

I came to the conclusion last night right after her montage of weekend update, that the SNL best of Amy Poehler was eerily following the footsteps of season 4 of the OC. It had it's moments, you watched it because you needed to see something that had the franchise name on it, but it maybe ran to long and lost steam halfway through. Don't believe me.... you will.

1.Amy Poehler is a funny woman, don't get me wrong. I just don't think she had the enough funny material to make a best of. The OC is a good drama, everyone can attest to that, but without Marissa the drama was lacking in certain areas that it excelled in the previous seasons.

2. Amy Poehler isn't Tina Fey. In the comedy, writing, or looks. P and R is an office rip off and will never top what 30 Rock has become. I mean come on Alec Baldwin, in a show playing a character that's pretty much him in real life. Classic! Taylor is no Marissa. I need not say more.

3. Ratings dropped halfway through the season 4 and the writers knew they had to wrap it up and quickly string together and ending that will leave viewers wanting more. After Weekend update, the highlight of her best of by the way, the writers probably realized that they had no more good materiel left, so they strung together a montage of quirky one liners and funny bits and pieces of random skits and did that until the next commercial break. Probably going through two packs of cigarettes hoping that nobody realized they basically just bailed out on Amy Poehler.

I'm pretty sure there's more similarities but, i couldn't come up with more and the more i compare SNL and the OC the more i sound like a guy that watches way too much TV.

I also have a theory that Ryan changed his name to Ben and moved to south Los Angeles.
