Live from New York, here's every 'Saturday Night Live' season ranked from worst to best!

From the days of Chevy Chase and Gilda Radner to Eddie Murphy saving the show and Will Ferrell leaving to become a box office smash in Hollywood, we are looking at each season and weighing the quality of the sketches, hosts, and casts. Some of the show's seasons have been marvelous, while others have floundered greatly. The show doesn't always shine, but few television programs have been able to achieve such consistent success for almost five decades. Over 900 episodes in, 'SNL' remains beloved by many generations. There have been some tweaks over time, like Weekend Update briefly becoming Saturday Night News, but the leadership of Michaels has kept 'SNL' afloat and successful.

Everything kicks off with a cold open, followed by a celebrity host's monologue, sketches, a musical performance, Weekend Update, more sketches, another musical performance, and goodnights. The formula for an episode of 'SNL' hasn't changed much over nearly 50 years.
