30 Rock: Blind Date
30 Rock starts with bears attacking a robot. That is how an episode wins you over from the first second.
The sitcom plot has Baldwin setting up Fey with a friend. Also, it is poker night on the set. The framework for the jokes are set. Let them fill in like a well played game of Tetris.
Of course! Baldwin set up Fey with a chick. I feel stupid for not seeing that coming. 30 Rock has earned its move to Must See Thursday on NBC.
Kenneth, the studio page, has that wonderful “nobody’s home” stare. It is a fun and cheerful idiot character who Baldwin can’t figure out.
Fey, like everyone else, fears choking to death while alone in her apartment. Pnigophobia is the fear of choking. How about choking alone? And I don’t mean the chicken kind.
It is over already. I lost time, which certainly means I was enjoying myself. Or drugged.
30 Rock: Pilot
30 Rock is not Studio 60 on Sunset Strip. Now you are aware. Knowledge is power.
It starts with Tina Fey buying all the hot dogs from a hot dog cart. Quick fact, I don’t enjoy watching Tina Fey. Hopefully she is a better writer than she is a performer.
My wife just laughed. That’s a good sign. It means I had better laugh too.
Alec Baldwin, who said he would move to Canada is Bush were elected, plays the new boss of NBC. Wait, is it NBC? It isn’t NBS like in Studio 60 on Sunset Strip. That bugs the piss out of me, by the way.
Alec Baldwin is going the shake things up for head writer Tina Fey. How does he shake things up? By hiring Tracy Jordan, played by Tracy Morgan. Even the slight name switch makes me laugh. Unlike NBS. Funny how that works.
Tracy Morgan is hilarious. Hopefully they give him plenty of time on this show. That would keep me watching week after week.
This show has multiple laughs in it. And this is the ever tough “introduce everyone and everything” pilot episode. This should settle down and get funnier in the weeks to come. Imagine that! Funnier!
I’ll watch this show again next week. If you let me, that is. Let me watch good shows, please?
