30 Rock Season 6: Episode 21: “What Will Happen to the Gang Next Year?” “I don’t bail! I’m still watching Smash, Criss!” People don’t watch 30 Rock each week to gasp at unlikely twist and turns, or shake their fists at fist-shaking cliffhangers. They tune in to 30 Rock to watch the well-crafted tomfoolery sprinkled over whatever goofy plot they’ve conceived. Because of this, 30 Rock’s finale just means there won’t be any new...
30 Rock Season 6: Episode 21: “The Return of Avery Jessup” “Not much has changed. There’s an iPod 3 and a Mitt Romney 4. They worked all the bugs out, he’s not killing hobos at night anymore.” –Jack This episode earned points for simply not being a mock reality show. Seriously, all it had to do was not be “The Queen of Jordan” and it scored high for me. Thankfully we were entertained with...
30 Rock Season 6: Episode 19: “The Mystery of the Phantom Pooper” “… contractually, I can only hold beautiful black babies in Benetton ads” If gimmicks were thetans, then 30 Rock‘s E-meter would be wonking out like Nikki Hilton’s sister at a cocaine party! Whatchu talking bout, me? Well, last week 30 Rock provided us with a wonderfully bizarre live episode, and yes, despite it’s hilarity and delightful whimsy it WAS a gimmick. I’m...
30 Rock Season 6: Episode 18: “Live From Studio 6H” Last night was the second time 30 Rock presented a completely live episode from studio 8H (not a typo despite the title of the episode) and I just want to present a teeny little disclaimer before I proceed: I am the worst person to provide a fair and balanced review of this episode. The Worst. Now that that’s out of the way I will...
30 Rock Season 6. Episode 18. “Murphy Brown Lied To Us” “You aren’t the only student I dated, but you are the only one who shot my wife.” Hey kids, I’m your 30 Rock stepdad this week. I know I’m not your real dad, but we’ll have fun, sport. I’m sure you’ll grow to love me like your own. God, will you just let me in!? I mean JESUS I’m TRYING HERE! You know...
30 Rock Season 6: Episode 17: “Meet the Woggels” “If you’re ordering me an edible arrangement to say thanks, I’d prefer a meat one.” –Liz Ah, the things we discover about ourselves when attempting a sexual walkabout! There were so many life lessons learned in this episode of 30 Rock, they’re practically worthy of a montage… but we all know Montage got married and quit stripping, so that’s out. After attempting to ‘Yoko’ a...
30 Rock Season 6: Episode 15: “Nothing Left to Lose” “My greatest weakness is humility. I’m probably the most humble person in the whole world.” This week’s 30 Rock successfully juggled three independent storylines that were silly and fun in and of themselves — not just vehicles for delivering jokes. It was refreshing to see the characters working together in different combinations: Tracy and Jenna, who are usually paired off for diva-talent plots, operated in completely...
30 Rock Season 6: Episode 14: “The Shower Principle” “Last year, Jenna accused me of trying to destroy her because her lines didn’t have any ‘K’ sounds, which she thinks is the funniest sound.” “Oh my god. My cousin Carl crashed his car, and now he’s in a coma at the Kendall Clinic.” This season, 30 Rock has felt a little gimmick-of-the-week, where each character’s story plays out in a vacuum isolated from the...
30 Rock Season 6: Episodes 13 & 14: “Grandmentor” & “Kidnapped By Danger” “I thought you said a man should never wear pastel unless he’s a black guy on Easter?” You know there are so many great things that women do: bake, sew, clean! I’M JUST KIDDING LADIES. You run the world! Beyonce WILL NOT stop talking about it. Plus you invent things, lead countries, save lives and all the things us menfolk do...
30 Rock Season 5: Episode 12: “St. Patrick’s Day” It’s St. Patrick’s Day and predictably, Liz is having none of it. She’s got a man this year so she’s going to stay out of the drunken fray and watch the whole mess from inside her apartment. Dressed in orange. And shouting Meghan at confused passersby. It’s a pretty fool-proof plan until she makes the mistake of speaking it out loud to Jack. Then a...
