A few bloggers have even cast aspersion on NBC’s decision to pull the clip, suggesting it was not a magnanimous gesture but a revisionist one. EdRants.com, for one, has posted a full transcript of the now hard-to-find sketch “so that people can be informed of what NBC is attempting to hide from the public.”
I saw it live and might still have it on my DVR. I don't know why "critics" would question why SNL did a sketch on Brittany Murphy. It's WHAT THEY DO. The actress who played her did a pretty good job of portraying Murphy's mannerisms and speech pattern. Honestly, I thought that they were lampooning Murphy's character from Clueless, which, IIRC, was pretty ditzy.
