The 40th anniversary's only funny moments where the rehashes of past funny skits. 

 When you're doing a tribute show specifically about the legacy of a program, that's about what I'd want out of it if I were producer.  After all, it's hard to top a return of Celebrity Jeopardy; that's one of my favorite recurring sketches of all time.  Bill Murray's Jaws theme was fantastic, too, but I thought the entire set-up of the musical moments montage was poor.  I also liked the audience Q&A, but mostly due to Larry David's appearance.  We totally got screwed with Eddie Murphy, though.  After that huge intro Chris Rock gave, I was hoping Eddie would at least crack a few jokes, but all we got was a cliche thank-you speech.  

I wish it were a little less clip-show heavy, but at the same time I also get why they did that.  Just wish they had saved it for the Players who are unfortunately no longer with us.
