How's the Dow?

― Clay, Friday, 27 April 2007 04:38 (nineteen years ago)

disappointing episode to end the season on, I thought

― akm, Friday, 27 April 2007 05:18 (nineteen years ago)

Really? I thought it was the most consistently funny episode in several weeks.

― Johnny Fever, Friday, 27 April 2007 05:27 (nineteen years ago)

Elaine Stritch as the mom!

― Elvis Telecom, Friday, 27 April 2007 06:47 (nineteen years ago)

"They got pretzels downstairs!"

― en i see kay, Friday, 27 April 2007 08:22 (nineteen years ago)

"I was at a costume party. The host's dog attacked me, so I had to stab it."

Quite funny, but honestly, none of the last three have lived up to a lot of the rest of the season. Bit of an odd one to end on. At least there's another season of it at least, assuming something horrible doesn't happen.

'can i play barack obama' 'no! its bad enough we had tracy playing him!'

Stritch was reportedly considered for the role of Dorothy on The Golden Girls, but, by her own admission, offended the producers by improvising profanity into the script. The role was subsequently cast with Bea Arthur.

GOD DAMN YOU GOLDEN GIRL PRODUCERS

― David R., Friday, 27 April 2007 13:27 (nineteen years ago)

I love Dr. Spaceman.

AB just announced on The View that he has asked to be let out of his 30 Rock contract.

― sunny successor, Friday, 27 April 2007 16:04 (nineteen years ago)

that was already announced earlier this week! and nbc said "no"

― akm, Friday, 27 April 2007 16:15 (nineteen years ago)

yeah, maybe it was calculated so that he could look contrite and still stay on the show.

― kenan, Friday, 27 April 2007 16:41 (nineteen years ago)

i just watched the last two on nbc.com having missed them. I thought they were pretty good...I just wanted more of a finale with Phoebe, I expected some kind of back-story about here being a gold-digger from cleveland or something, something about her losing the accent.

― dan selzer, Friday, 27 April 2007 16:44 (nineteen years ago)

What the hell was Phoebe saying at dinner "Petunlia"? or something. Stritich's comeback was beautiful. I can't paraphrase it to give it justice.

― brownie, Friday, 27 April 2007 16:47 (nineteen years ago)

something about petunias (flowers)

― akm, Friday, 27 April 2007 16:47 (nineteen years ago)

yeah but wasn't she mispronouncing it?

― brownie, Friday, 27 April 2007 16:48 (nineteen years ago)

or am I insane

― brownie, Friday, 27 April 2007 16:49 (nineteen years ago)

I WILL CUT YOU OPEN LIKE A TAUN TAUN

― Jimmy The Mod Awaits The Return Of His Beloved, Friday, 27 April 2007 16:50 (nineteen years ago)

she wasn't mispronouncing it

― akm, Friday, 27 April 2007 16:50 (nineteen years ago)

Kenneth's "By the Hammer of Thor!" was almost as genius as his self-sacrificial tumble.

― Dimension 5ive, Friday, 27 April 2007 16:52 (nineteen years ago)

I WILL CUT YOU OPEN LIKE A TAUN TAUN

hahaha i missed that, i guess it was during liz & jack's stereo berating of kenneth?

― and what, Friday, 27 April 2007 16:53 (nineteen years ago)

I WANT LOBSTER. I WANT 2 LOBSTERS. TOTALLING 5 LBS OF LOBSTER MEAT

― Jimmy The Mod Awaits The Return Of His Beloved, Friday, 27 April 2007 16:55 (nineteen years ago)

Are my eyes really that far apart? I look like Admiral Akbar!

So there has been at least one Star Wars ref each episode, hasn't there?

― nickalicious, Friday, 27 April 2007 20:01 (nineteen years ago)

oooo good question

― Jimmy The Mod Awaits The Return Of His Beloved, Friday, 27 April 2007 20:06 (nineteen years ago)

has to have been

― kenan, Friday, 27 April 2007 20:14 (nineteen years ago)

I don't think there were any in the 1st episode.

― David R., Friday, 27 April 2007 20:16 (nineteen years ago)

BTW, RIP Scrubs (about 2 seasons too late) :\

― David R., Friday, 27 April 2007 20:17 (nineteen years ago)

I don't think there were any in the 1st episode.

Wasn't Tracy's "I AM A JEDI" public freakout in that ep though?

― nickalicious, Friday, 27 April 2007 20:20 (nineteen years ago)

yes

― Jimmy The Mod Awaits The Return Of His Beloved, Friday, 27 April 2007 20:22 (nineteen years ago)

"Chewbacca, can I speak to Tracy?"

― The Yellow Kid, Friday, 27 April 2007 20:35 (nineteen years ago)

Stritich's comeback was beautiful. I can't paraphrase it to give it justice.

"I can hear you fine, dear. I just wanted to make sure you could hear you."

also: "Tell him his Mother's here! And that she loves him... but not in a queer way!"

― will, Friday, 27 April 2007 21:30 (nineteen years ago)

IT'S COWBOY HAY-HAY

― max, Friday, 27 April 2007 21:42 (nineteen years ago)

i am upset we didn't get to see cowboy hay hay

― cutty, Friday, 27 April 2007 21:45 (nineteen years ago)

Kenneth is the best character on the show, ~~sometimes~~most of the time.

― tehresa, Friday, 27 April 2007 22:25 (nineteen years ago)

scrubs got cancelled? i thought it was moving to abc or something

― akm, Friday, 27 April 2007 23:39 (nineteen years ago)

So I'm watching fully half of NBC's thursday night line-up, which is the first time that's happened since the Seinfeld days. And it accounts for about half of the shows that I make sure to watch in a given week. And I'm guessing that I'm far from the only one for whom that is true, and for whom it's true because NBC is airing actual real-life great shows. My feeling is that the smart money is on NBC continuing to back quality in at least the short-term (e.g. giving 30 Rock a full-season renewal in order to let it find an audience). Because, otherwise, they're going to have a full hour on thursday to fill with new and untested material or old and tired material shifted from another part of the schedule. This might be their strongest line-up in years (possibly ever...judge for yourself), and it would be a shame to fuck that up.

― Deric W. Haircare, Saturday, 28 April 2007 00:16 (nineteen years ago)

The audience for The Office and 30 Rock is probably a pretty attractive one to advertisers, too, small or not.

― nabisco, Saturday, 28 April 2007 00:42 (nineteen years ago)

aye, for thursday nights, it is incredibly strong.

they also have Heroes and, more imporantly, Friday Night Lights, which makes them the best network on TV. Obviously not counting HBO.

― Gukbe, Saturday, 28 April 2007 00:43 (nineteen years ago)

I mean, the whole night is good, if you want to sell cool sneakers and Volkswagens to the 20-something college-grad demographic and start up some brand loyalty with their teenage equivalents -- those shows just happen to be the two I care about. I suppose they're kinda competing with cheaper cable stuff for those markets, though.

― nabisco, Saturday, 28 April 2007 00:44 (nineteen years ago)

The best all-time lineup (CBS though):

All in the Family
M*A*S*H
Mary Tyler Moore Show
The Bob Newhart Show
The Carol Burnett Show

'30 Rock + The Office' is the new 'All In the Family + M*A*S*H' 1-2 punch.

― musically, Saturday, 28 April 2007 08:30 (nineteen years ago)

but how many of us were alive to remember that 1-2 punch?

― cutty, Saturday, 28 April 2007 09:23 (nineteen years ago)

I certainly wasn't then but I'm alive now and watch them both on DVD so I can assume watching them on television was roughly similar.

― musically, Saturday, 28 April 2007 18:38 (nineteen years ago)

watched some of this. not v funny

― RJG, Saturday, 28 April 2007 18:43 (nineteen years ago)

RJG = WRONG

― Gukbe, Saturday, 28 April 2007 18:46 (nineteen years ago)

and stupid

― Gukbe, Saturday, 28 April 2007 18:46 (nineteen years ago)

alec baldwin is funny. I like tracy morgan. there have been some funny bits but it is v inconsistent and sometimes there are bits that are so obviously supposed to be funny but they are not
