30 Rock – “Live Show”
“Live Show” October 14th, 2010 The most common word I’m seeing in evaluating tonight’s 30 Rock is “experiment,” which is more evaluative than you might think. We call it an experiment because it wasn’t actually very good. This is not … Continue reading

Season Finale: 30 Rock – “I Do Do”
“I Do Do” May 20th, 2010 I haven’t written about 30 Rock in a very long time, so you’d think I’d have a lot to say: after all, “I Do Do” actually had a “Previously on 30 Rock” sequence, which … Continue reading
30 Rock – “Argus”
“Argus” April 29th, 2010 I didn’t get around to last week’s episodes of 30 Rock – there were two of them, and I wasn’t able to watch “Khonani” live, and I ultimately didn’t have much to say. The play on … Continue reading

30 Rock – “Winter Madness”
“Winter Madness” January 21st, 2010 Jack Donaghy has had many relationships in his time on 30 Rock, and while some of them have been adventurous or novel (Isabella Rosellini as his ex-wife, Edie Falco as his congresswoman girlfriend) the rest … Continue reading

30 Rock – “Klaus and Greta” and “Black Light Attack!”
“Klaus and Greta” and “Black Light Attack!” January 14th, 2010 When you double up two episodes of 30 Rock, you get a really skewed perception of the series. In some ways, the two hours offers that many more memorable lines, … Continue reading

The Office and 30 Rock – “Secret Santa”
“Secret Santa” x 2 December 10th, 2009 It’s not often that two episodes airing back to back have the same title, so it’s a convenient excuse to blog 30 Rock and The Office together tonight. Christmas is a holiday that … Continue reading

30 Rock – “Dealbreakers Talk Show #0001″
“Dealbreakers Talk Show #0001″ December 3rd, 2009 After writing rather lengthy analysis of the other three NBC comedies, all of which tapped into the emotional recesses of their characters in uncomfortable or telling fashions, it’s refreshing to get to 30 … Continue reading
