For a period in the show’s 4th and 5th seasons, it became incredibly hip to decry the downfall of 30 Rock. But suck it haters, because they just managed to have one of the best final seasons of all time. Liz Lemon was always going to be a workaholic with a tendency towards bitchiness, swearing, […]
The past week or so has had some amazing sitcom moments. As 30 Rock winds down to tonight’s finale, Kenneth was passed the torch as the new President of NBC and Liz & Criss greeted their new 8-year-old twins at the airport, a mini Jenna and Tracy. But the real standout moment for me came […]
TV comedy is in a major phase right now. A shocking amount of the primetime network schedule is made up of sitcoms, while a fair number of hourlong comedies and dramedies still pepper the drama blocks.

(Community) “I want you take this money and buy a book, it’s called ‘7 Habits of Highly Effective People’!”- Vance tries to help out a stripper at his bachelor party. […]
30 Rock this week. Aaron Sorkin and Tina Fey (Liz Lemon) sit at a conference table waiting for interview with Nick Lachey to work on the NBC reality competition show The Sing Off. Sorkin: You here for the Sing Off gig? Fey: Yeah, do I know you? Sorkin: You know my work. Walk […]
