That's not Matt, it's a Think Progress cohort.

It's funny that I'm on the side of the debate that I am, because I'm definitely an old-school pre-Grimey Simpsons stan.

the difference with The Simpsons is it actually did have a rather pronounced sentimental streak in its early seasons. 30 Rock got a little loonier over time but there's not really any kind of emotional core that's minimized or abandoned. also, i started renting season 1 recently and man the show has gotten so much tighter and faster since then, it almost feels a little sluggish by comparison.

I may be banned but I'm perfectly good at it (some dude), Sunday, 15 May 2011 00:48 (fifteen years ago)

yeah I had that exact reaction when I watched season 1 again at some point. "this is so slow!" I love the speed so much.

Seems like 30 Rock isn't coming back until midseason :(

The Brainwasher, Sunday, 15 May 2011 18:20 (fifteen years ago)

Is it totally out of the question that viewers may have glommed onto the show because of its characterizations and traditional sitcom tropes in addition to the jokes? I'm trying to give the ideological critics (e.g. the people who think that Liz was getting humiliated for lolz) the benefit of a doubt, even though my gut sez that they're mythologizing the origins of the show and simply don't remember laughter.

The 30 Rock star sparked outrage from gay rights groups after the vicious attack, in which he said people who were bullied for their homosexuality needed to 'stop whining'.

yung huma (J0rdan S.), Sunday, 2 October 2011 19:39 (fourteen years ago)

SNF is scheduled until 11:30. I don't know where that listing is from but it's inaccurate.

Mordy, Sunday, 2 October 2011 19:40 (fourteen years ago)

it's west coast

yung huma (J0rdan S.), Sunday, 2 October 2011 19:40 (fourteen years ago)

You should tell tvguide.com they're wrong. xpost

Incunabuleee (Leee), Sunday, 2 October 2011 19:40 (fourteen years ago)

oh, so i guess only west coast gets new eps of 30 rock now :'(

Mordy, Sunday, 2 October 2011 19:41 (fourteen years ago)

if it's tv guide why do you need to ask here? click on the listing and see that it's a rerun. xp

Mordy, Sunday, 2 October 2011 19:42 (fourteen years ago)

Never thought about this, but was Avery kidnapped so that she could play Effie in Hunger Games?

she started dancing to that (Finefinemusic), Friday, 13 January 2012 14:18 (fourteen years ago)

(The actress, obvs.)

EBanks has been in like 5 movies a year since well before her 30 Rock stint, i think Avery was planned from the jump as a temporary/occasional character and the kidnapping was just a weirder, funnier way to write her out of the show for a while than a breakup.
