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

It was my favorite part.

Also, good life advice.

I did not even realize they showed two episodes last week.

Same here. I hate that Comcast's DVR just can't handle any variations to a schedule.

holy shit that last ep was amazing.

Jack looking out his fake window had my DYING.

i didn't get that--does he do that habitually in his "real" office and i've just never noticed

he's always looking out his window, yes.

"not a way out there" made me lol p hard

Hoos just watched his second ep of 30 Rock ever obv

lol

"ugh, the male gaze."

"yeah, they're all a bunch of gays!"

i lol'd but thats almost too easy

ha the low bar on that one was part of the lol for me

same here, also "i can't believe i haven't heard that joke before"

Me too. xp

More seasonal humor! I love that they just started doing this without making it a promotional "thing".

I'm going to be a typical internet type and say that I do think the show has dropped off over the last season. I've enjoyed this season enough but I don't find myself laughing out loud. I thought as often happens that maybe I've just gotten used to it, but I've been watching the re-runs on various stations and it's been blowing my mind. Saw the 2 party finale with the 3 weddings tonight and was dying. Anyway, just wanted to put my 2 cents in and a vote for "something's changed".

"Meditate perfectly."

"Summer horsegrave?"

Some corny bits, but that felt like one of the densest one-liner-filled episodes for a while. Really enjoyed that.

Just read that they're doing it live again on April 26.

Danny really disappeared, didn't he? I was watching a rerun today and it took me a minute to remember who he was.

Danny... do you mean Josh?

i actually think this season has been an improvement over the previous few. not the best episode tho.

lol Josh just disappearing, then turning up to audition for his old part.

He's doing all right now, starring in some Cartoon Network show.

imho one of the most enjoyable parts of the early seasons of this show was the way they developed characters & backstories with pretty amazing jokes, and actually committed to them for future episodes (q.v. sue was only given her last name as a one-off joke in the funcooker episode, but she's kept her name & ridiculous accent since then). but now that most of their characters have been fully fleshed out the jokes have become a bit repetitive. the fact that Jenna attended the tampa royal academy of dramatic tricks is funny the first couple times you hear it but now it just feels like a retread. i don't think the writing has really fallen off, it's just that there's not much new to discover about the characters after so many seasons so it feels a little stale. hazel seems like an attempt to bring that early-season sense of discovery back, but idk how successful it is.

this past episode kinda seems to acknowledge that: it's been done before, they're just rehashing old episodes now, like they've exhausted the show's premise & characters.

"dump all the unsold dishwashers into the ocean" was the first line that made me lose it

elmo otm, i'd be pretty much ok with it if this were the last season

FIVE NOW DOG FIVE

5now dog5 slayed

was cerie's band a lana del rey joke?

Don't think so. Unless LDR is into strobe-lit headbanging these days. I laffed b/c it was like all of the anonymous mall-rock bands that get booked on Leno/Letterman b/c they are shiny and attractive.

it was a laptop joke imo

it was a pretty girl joke imo

^^ correct

sorry i guess i laughed at it incorrectly

shape up

watching season 1 of this for the first time ever. it really is an incredibly funny, likable show.

I actually saw the s1 episode where Liz goes to the Source awards with Wayne Brady, and it was very striking how much more sophisticated the humor became as the show developed. Just the whole way the race/ gangsta rap culture issue was handled seemed very off, like 30 rock would have taken some flack for it if they had written it today. I guess the characters were more realistic and less zany, but I would still take s6 crazy over s1 clumsy.

Recently saw, that is.

loved this, but also thought "oh good maybe people on ilx will stop giving me shit for thinking that kind of thing is funny"

haha its still a p lol ok grandpa joke but it was perfectly executed
