"A bracing lack of recurring characters? Check," says Dennis Perkins. "Not a famous friend
of Lorne�s in sight to suck up oxygen desperately needed by an over-full and attention-
starved cast? Check. A continued vacation from game show and talk show sketches? Okay,
there was one talk show, but Strange Kid Tales was pretty delightful, and functioned more
as a Kenan delivery system, which is always a good thing. Toss in some genuinely impressive
work from some unexpected sources and a show-stealing mega-performance by Taylor Swift,
complete with accomplished mini-movie backing, and the episode, while not blessed with the
most natural live comedy performer as host, was top-to-bottom unpredictable. I�ll take that
over waves of recognition applause and the same old crowd-pleasing rehashes any night."
