also LOLd @ her ex-bf list, "that gangly red-haired guy that never stopped playing guitar" "Conan"

The show on after this with Jeffrey Tambor & John Lithgow is a lot funnier than I expected, but it's still a regular sitcom, which is so much harder to watch now post Arrested Development/Office/etc.

― polar bear flashback episode (nickalicious), Thursday, 26 October 2006 13:31 (seventeen years ago) link

I couldn't get past the opening scene of the Lithgow/Tambor sitcom where they were playing basketball. I think they should join the cast of 30 Rock.

studio 60 is such a misfire... everything about it is so wrong.

nbc only has 4 sitcoms. they can't all be on the same night

From today's Washington Post:

And, in a move that can only be called PR genius, NBC announced "30 Rock," Tina Fey's sendup of "Saturday Night Live," and mothballed doctor comedy "Scrubs" would join "My Name Is Earl" and "The Office" for a four-comedy block on Thursday night, harkening back to the golden days of NBC, long before it became just another cog in the great GE/NBC Universal 2.0 mandala.

Based on early exit polling, it worked like gangbusters. Critics seemed to like it; ditto members of the Hollywood TV community. The move "at least gives the network an identity" on one night of the week, said one industry suit who wished to remain anonymous because private schools aren't cheap.

RETURN OF MUST-SEE TV

This is saddening in a way though because now once again there will be nothing decent on tv in the hour before LOST on Wed.

― polar bear flashback episode (nickalicious), Thursday, 26 October 2006 16:40 (seventeen years ago) link

well there you go. it's just like I said, you can always have your only four sitcoms air on one night if you want.

(they just wanted to prove me wrong. they are ALWAYS doing that.)

bulllllshit, three-camera/studio audience sitcoms are still, as a format, way better than all that steadicam/awkward-silences-with-no-laugh-track stuff that's trendy now (although I do like what 30 Rock does with it), and judging from CBS's Monday night lineup there's still some good shows being made in that style.

although I haven't been able to bring myself to watch a minute of 20 Good Years, even with 30 Rock as a lead-in.

― Alex in Baltimore (Alex in Baltimore), Friday, 27 October 2006 01:38 (seventeen years ago) link

Pretend that I don't know how to Google. When is this fucking show on? I have consistently not even heard about it. Yay, NBC, way to promote your new show starring brilliant writer Tina Fey, you fucking douchebags.

― Portable Dorkness (Dick Butkus), Friday, 27 October 2006 01:40 (seventeen years ago) link

Amused that Fey was watching Deal or No Deal when she started choking. I'm still wondering about her range as an actress, but I think she is doing good for now.

You can watch the last episode at NBC.com (link)

"Yay, NBC, way to promote your new show starring brilliant writer Tina Fey, you fucking douchebags."

they had promos up the butt for months! they looked like snl promos.

"and judging from CBS's Monday night lineup there's still some good shows being made in that style."

other than lost, and now 30 rock, these are the only shows i watch. i dig how i met your mother, and 2 & a half men, and old christine. the class is pretty bad though. maybe even worse than the one with the fonz and stockard channing that is gone now i think.

― scott seward (scott seward), Friday, 27 October 2006 02:23 (seventeen years ago) link

The promo where Alec Baldwin thought he was on "the new Alan Sorkin show about late night TV" was fucking hilarious.

oh that alec

The show with Tambor and Lithgow has been cancelled, says the LA Times today. It ranked 67th last week. Nov 8 will be the last one shown. I watched the first one and the overdone laugh track made it unbearable, but I wouldn't have stuck with it anyway.

― nickn (nickn), Friday, 27 October 2006 03:55 (seventeen years ago) link

scott, do you like THE NEW ADVENTURES OF OLD CHRISTINE?!?!

― chaki (chaki), Friday, 27 October 2006 05:28 (seventeen years ago) link

The Jennifer Jason Lee gag also had me rolling.

And I didn't even realize that Gretchen was played by Law & Order alum Stephanie March.

20 Good Years was doomed from the start, it was basically targeted to everyone outside the 18-49 bracket. Smart.

― Michael F Gill (Michael F Gill), Friday, 27 October 2006 06:13 (seventeen years ago) link

"scott, do you like THE NEW ADVENTURES OF OLD CHRISTINE?!?!"

yes! i mentioned that one. it's not great, but it has its moments. and andy richter as creepy japan-obsessed oral sex king is worth watching. her brother is weird. like he dropped in from an indie movie or something. definitely laugh out loud moments to be had.

― scott seward (scott seward), Friday, 27 October 2006 12:04 (seventeen years ago) link

Did alec Baldwin get a new agent or something? He seems to be everywhere at the moment. Just last night we watched him in 30 Rock, and then flicked through some trailers to see him crop up in The Departed and Running With Scissors.

I was kind of hoping for a Chamillionaire cameo. A Cameoillionaire.

Liked it, but has Krakowski completely disappeared?

― Michael F Gill (Michael F Gill), Thursday, 2 November 2006 05:51 (seventeen years ago) link

What was the last line of the episode? Baldwin said something about the pizza, but I couldn't understand it.

― A Radio Picture (Rrrickey), Thursday, 2 November 2006 08:38 (seventeen years ago) link

something like "go easy on the pizza"
i love how sometimes tina fey looks gorgeous and sometimes she looks just normal, casual, whatever - it's like real life! and then of course juxtaposed to the assistant and her outfits (and her hair! and "they kinda just stay up on their own"), it's pretty brilliant.

SHARK WEEK

― rrrobyn, the situation (rrrobyn), Thursday, 2 November 2006 15:13 (seventeen years ago) link

haha wtf was that thing assistant girl was wearing, the one that was like plastic panties and a piece of foam over her torso!?

― polar bear flashback episode (nickalicious), Thursday, 2 November 2006 15:45 (seventeen years ago) link

hahaha yeah! - it was like pink underwear with orange lace trim (which i noted b/c that colour combination is great) and a big pink poncho!

Ann Coulter's 60th birthday!

Actuall thought this ep was slightly weaker than the others. Still good though.

Forgot the Ann Coulter thing, but I can't imagine how, as I played it back five times.

― A Radio Picture (Rrrickey), Friday, 3 November 2006 08:06 (seventeen years ago) link

BTW: Thanks, Rrrobyn, the episode's still on my TiVo and you're right on that line. And yeah, that's a great color combo.

― A Radio Picture (Rrrickey), Friday, 3 November 2006 08:11 (seventeen years ago) link

The other thing I love about this show, and that none of the reviews seems to have mentioned, is how utterly lame every sketch on the fantasy show is. Fey's ultimate joke on latter-day SNL, obviously.
