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

z=x

cf. the source awards episode xp

That was a pretty awful episode.

The Source Awards one, I mean. Not seen last night's.

lol they included the syrup smell <3 <3 <3

damn u striking writers

if you suspect something, do everything

"Honey, where's my hunting rifle?"
"Last I saw, the dog had it."

the last 3 episodes have been the best ever now its gonna be over ;_; ;_; ;_;

somewhere there is a thread of us talking abt the syrup smell when it happened

The way the Kenneth's mask's jaw dropped after being hit by Lutz combined with the look on his face when removing the mask nearly made me pass out I was laughing so hard.

"APE ATTACK!!! APE ATTACK!!!"

you know i never make assumptions about race. remember that time i asked that black guy if he saw sideways?

The maple syrup smell thing has happened in NY several times over the last few years and is always a local news/gothamist-worthy topic.

i think you might be underselling it a little cause ITS THE GREATEST LOCAL NEWS STORY EVER

like I said...

Did the UK one get cut again last night? There was a bit in there that made no sense to me!

when my mom was a kid she said there were still streets in boston that would smell like molasses on hot days from the molasses flood disaster. my neighborhood smells like brownies on wednesday nights when the wind in blowing right, coming from the blommers chocolate factory in the west loop.

i work by a hostess factory and sometimes after work i can smell twinkees wafting.

candy factories in cambridge mass etc

i used to live a couple miles west of the brachs candy factory and a couple miles south of a mars factory. they blew up part of the brach's factory this past summer while filming part of the latest batman flick (when they blow up "gotham city hospital") and didn't tell any of the neighbor's. people living immediately around the area knew something was up because of all the production trucks but when there was an explosion and fire ball shooting a hundred feet in the air on the west side it caused minor panic.

kind of like the rockefeller center salute to fireworks

i have fond childhood memories of driving on the skyway in buffalo and smelling the cheerios factory. cooking cherios smell goood. i haven't smelled them in like 10 years though. rip cheerios :(

So is there no episode next week?

looks like NBC is running a movie on Thanksgiving, and then there's a new episode the following Thursday. I think there's still several episodes that were produced pre-strike still left, I remember hearing that most network shows have enough unaired episodes to last through about January.

Oh really? That's the best news I've heard this week!

rad. thanks.

CAN WE HAVE OUR MONEY NOW?

i think i heard tina fay interviewed on the picket line saying they had four episodes in the can - which would give us three more to go.

plz lets all be cool ok? guys?

according to this: http://www.tvsquad.com/2007/11/14/how-is-your-favorite-show-affected-by-the-wga-strike/

there should be 4 episodes in the can.

where is this can, and will i be able to download the new episodes from it, y/n?

"in the can" is an expression i don't use nearly as often as i should and i will make ammends for this starting soon.

dont worry que the can is being preserved by cloistered religious adepts

JUST 4 U U UNGRATEFUL JERK

I didn't even notice: no Rachel Dratsch this season. Although two more SNLers were on last night.

i though Kristen Wiig was kinda wasted there. although i guess they're not afraid to use the same actors in different roles (cf. Dratsch) so maybe they'll give her something more to do another time.

Re celeb guest shots: Sweeps, people, sweeps. And only six million people watched this show last season in the U.S.

The season still needs way more Twofer, quite a lot more Tracey, and a little more Frank and Jenna. I think I'm basically asking for longer episodes.

um, sweeps is not every single week! it's may and november, right?
xpost

No longer episodes, please, NBC's been doing that shit for years with the 40-minute "supersize" episodes of sitcoms and now hourlong office, shit is lame.

You guys are really in some kind of weird denial about all the guest stars in the first season to manufacture all this outrage about the ones in the second season.

22 minute episodes seem too short for an episode of anything. Maybe I'm just used to UK TV (28 minutes).

I don't care about the guest stars (although the Carrie Fisher story was weak). I just miss Twofer.

in the 1st season the guest stars didnt take up 90% of the episodes they were in

"For men, it's called a Hardy Boy."

BTW, did anybody notice the Strike news than ran on the crawl when C.C. was interviewed? "Using Repeat Text From Previous Season"

"Stop eatin' people's old french fries, pigeon. Have some self-respect. Don't you know you can fly?"

"Mysterious visitor from future wins lottery again"

"Anne Heche leaves husband for Pony"

I really liked Jack's new gf. Was that a special guest thing? I hope not. She seems like she has potential.

"so present, so grateful"

didn't like the terrorist plot much.
