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

i'm a broken record on this but Up All Night is a waste of its cast, they need to stop dragging that mediocre shit out and let them go off and do better projects

You're not the only person I know who is vocal about disliking Up All Night, but that show for me is all about specific moments that I wasn't expecting or moments that could be tropes but were pulled off in ways that are fresh.

I have a feeling that it could be one of those shows that finds its feet in the second season and becomes really funny, like Parks and Rec.

The back half of the first season was already much better than the front half.

the 30 Rock season finale airing next week is titled "What Will Happen to the Gang Next Year?" which i can only assume will be an episode-length It's Always Sunny In Philadelphia homage

Me too! I've never watched SNL so had no prior knowledge of Maya Rudolph, who is great on UAN.

Was there a single episode this season that didn't have at least one "Kenneth Is Immortal" joke? They've never gone so all in with that in the past, have they?

She's doing a lot of movies so she probably isn't available?

― Respectfully, Tyrese Gibson (Nicole), Friday, 18 May 2012 12:25 (1 year ago) Permalink

i know realistically that was the case, but when they started talking their whole backstory it reminded me how they spent how many seasons developing this arc for it to fizzle out in two episodes? yeah i know, nobody watches 30 rock for the character development

also a similar thing happened to her character on Scrubs, which was almost as ridiculous

― Nhex, Friday, 18 May 2012 13:13 (1 year ago) Permalink

yeah but that was way more poorly conceived

does S&P just still not let people get abortions on prime-time comedies?

No, but it's okay to let audiences know you can get a woman pregnant by premature ejaculating on her.

― Leslie Mann: Boner Machine (C. Grisso/McCain), Friday, 18 May 2012 18:34 (1 year ago) Permalink

EBanks is not a huge start or anything but she's been averaging 4-5 movies a year since way before she did anything on 30 Rock, wasn't it always clear that her role on the show was going to be limited and sporadic with an end date? i mean who gives a fuck about plausibility on 30 Rock, the fact that they had her kidnapped by a foreign dictator to keep her out of most of the past season was better than any 'real' plotline could have been.
