A new 30 Rock thread because I can't find the old one

Hold all my calls, giant bee!

Mr. MacGuffin

Did anyone else think that Bro Body Douche was Ryan Gosling?

this show is going out well

"Homonym" might be the best joke this show ever did

would buy the home play version.

Iranian Homonym killed me.

i did love how they used the same host

Kenneth becoming head of the network set up so well

He'll rule us or we'll be dead by his hand - finally!

Tracy & Jenna twin reveal was pretty great. Terry & Janet?

i did love how they used the same host

Steve has taken Dave's place as the Higgins Boy most likely to pop up randomly in stuff.

Gruber still has 'em both beat, of course.

The best choice of kids Liz could ever have...tiny Tracy & Jenna!

Didn't notice Chris ended up getting that trampoline he so wanted.

Tina Fey has no intention of slowing down after 30 Rock airs its series finale later this week. At the 19th Annual Screen Actors Guild Awards in L.A. Jan. 27 -- where Fey picked up the trophy for Outstanding Performance by a Female Actor in a Comedy Series -- the 42-year-old told reporters how she plans to stay busy in the months ahead.

"I am going to London in March to film the next Muppets movie. . .and I'm hopefully shooting a movie called Mail Order Groom this summer with Steve Carell," said Fey, who played Carell's wife in 2010's Date Night. "My partner Robert Carlock and I have a new overall deal with NBC to eventually -- over the next couple of years -- develop another television show. That's sort of what's going on."

With NBC's 30 Rock ending after seven seasons on Jan. 31, Fey said she hopes the offbeat comedy will have "a long life" in syndication. "I look forward to another generation of nerds kind of finding it and enjoying it." The married mother of two also plans to continue her charitable efforts with Autism Speaks and the Leukemia Lymphoma Society.

I'm oddly sad about this show ending tonight. Watched the pilot and a couple other early favorites last night. What a gift 30 Rock has been.

It has.

I might cry when the credits roll tonight.

Hey Rockheads, I have a question. I watched season 1 when it aired, but didn't keep up with it after that. We've started watching the whole thing, 3-4 episodes per evening, and are just about to season 2. Should I watch the finale tonight or hold off to watch it in order with the rest of the last season?

I'd hold off, personally. I don't know what all is going to happen, but I imagine there will be a lot of callback story lines and gags that you'll need to know about to find as funny.

When 30 rock ended i cried
I cried like a big dumb homo

We are all big, dumb homos.

If the finale doesn't contain the phrase "shut it down!" I will be disappointed.

I had no idea that this season was truncated and as such only realized it's ending about a week ago--I can't quite believe it.

WmC - absolutely hold off. You'll be there soon enough anyway!

never seen

tannded penis island was destroyed when Sting's house caught fire

Perfect ending

GRIZZ AND HERZ - bring it on.

Don't even say it.

Perfect ending

so fucking perfect

of all the running gags to end on, Immortal Kenneth is probably the best choice they could've made

The flying cars were the most perfect detail.

omg and Immortal Characters were on Kenneth's list of TV No No Words!

I didn't notice that. AWESOME!

What was the name of Liz's message board, you Hitlers?

GothamMoms or something like that.

I thought the end joke was that the whole show was imagined by some future person (a nod the St Elsewhere's ending). But maybe making that person Kenneth says otherwise.

The girl in the chair was Liz's granddaughter, right?

Yes.

yeah nickn, it was a reference to that, but the gag is not that Kenneth imagined it, but that LL's great-granddaughter pitched 30 Rock to Kenneth as a show idea in like 2120 or whatever (and of course Kenneth is still president of NBC because, as established, he is immortal)

I didn't notice the daughter, or don't remember it now in any event.

Good ending, just the right amount of sentimentality.

btw re "callback," this already means something else in showbiz, and u sound like a fucking producer when you use it -- find another word.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Callback_(comedy)

A callback, in terms of comedy, is a joke which refers to one previously told in the set. The second joke is often presented in a different context than the one which was used in the initial joke.

In television, the term callback has come to mean a joke or line that refers to a previous episode (or sometimes, in rare cases, movies). Particularly in earlier sitcoms - though even until the early 1990s — callbacks were rare and often frowned upon by networks, because they threaten to isolate a viewer who is new to the series, or who missed episodes. Seinfeld was one of the first sitcoms to regularly use callbacks in its scripts, although on a level which would often be missed or disregarded by viewers. More recently 30 Rock has employed callbacks to reference fictitious movies and television programs created within the show. Arrested Development became well known by fans for its regular use of callbacks throughout all of its episodes.[3] Of course, the line between a callback and simple continuity can sometimes be ambiguous. The opening sequence of the season nineteen premiere of The Simpsons calls back to the events in the movie.

though I suppose we could make up a new word for them, like rememberfunnies, didn'theysaidthatbefores?
