Is is just me? Or, is SNL unwatchable?

I grew up watching SNL. I have fond memories of sketches like Mr. Bill, Dan Akroyd as a plumber, John Belushi going nuts...etc. Great stuff. My wife and I decided to sit on the couch and try to take in an episode about 9 months ago and it was unwatchable. We, for the most part, avoid politics (a survival tactic here in California). But, at least every other skit was about Trump. The script seemed to have morphed from good humor to just pure political rhetoric. Unwatchable. We got through about 30 minutes without laughing once and just changed the channel. Sad, really - because it was a funny show back in the day. The cast and writers reminded me of several of my liberal friends. You can't sit in a room with them anymore because all they want to talk about is Trump. There's so much more to life...
