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

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?

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.

Jack's girlfriend was played by Edie Falco, so I'd say that yes, she was, in the parlance of this thread, an evil ratings-grabbing show-destroying celebrity guest star. But yeah, that plotline was totally the best part of the episode, and it looks like she'll be in at least the next 2.

A+

she and will arnett fit in best as guest stars. i think they've all been good except buscemi tbh -- it's just a shame the writers room haven't been in it so much.

Yeah, the writers room was always one of my favorite parts of the first season. More Twofer, more Lutz!

was this the end of 30 rock until next year, or are there more in the can?

I really enjoyed this weeks, but not as much as last weeks.

"People are going to show up expecting all this great stuff, and they're going to be disappointed and angry!"

"Just like Colonial Williamsburg"

I think this last one felt more like a season 1 episode than anything so far.

Will there be a 30 Rock on Thxgiving?

i still LOL whenever i think of the phrase "oral germwhore"

TV Guide says no, Dodgeball instead :(

I have never seen this show, but apparently the cast is doing an episode onstage at the UCB theatre in NYC this week. Sold out.

OTM. i think i laughed harder at this one than any other from s2.

liz and kenneth dancing to 'werewolf bar mitzfah' made the schwimmer one my fave so far.

Last night's was pretty funny!

all the conversation must be on the cougar thread?

that was the best episode i've seen this season (prob only seen like 5-6 though). lots of good tina fey in this one.

there were a couple of really old jokes that still made me lol in this one, like "Bush?! Now I don't wanna go on a rant..........."

i liked the subtle iraq war allegory

all the conversation must be on the cougar thread?

just these:

So uh last night's 30 Rock was called "Cougars" and featured Liz dating a 20 year old.

I would like Tina Fey to be my pet cougar. Except, I think she would bite.

the best part of the 30 Rock episode was when Jenna was all "women like us are called cougars now. didn't you see the article about it in the issue of Vanity Fair about genocide in Africa? I just wish more people knew about cougars."

That competes very hard with Jack giving Tracy the bundle of letters from the kids on the baseball team begging him to come back as their coach.

that was great too, i just meant specifically the cougar plotline and how they addressed the flurry of fake trend pieces about cougars.

subtle? really?

haha. okay...i mean they could have made it MORE obvious i guess.

for the first time I thought trucker hat DMB-video guy earned his keep last night.

"What? Sexy? You are. Shut up."

"ughh.... shut it down."
