30 Rock: Episode 210
“I’ve become one of them. I’ve been Sodomized!” - Kenneth, explaining how the 21st century Sodom (NYC) has changed him.
OK, so I was wrong. In my review of the preceding episode, I mentioned that it was the final one finished before the strike. But this episode is the final episode finished…
Stump the King - 30 Rock
Every Christmas I look forward to the new slate of holiday episodes. Since I have seen most holiday specials more than sufficient times, I always enjoy a new holiday themed episode of a current show.
Last year, it was The Office. Michael’s hilarious trip to Benihana was a delightful addition to t…
30 Rock: Episode 209
”That’s not a Christmas tree. It’s a way to lure tourists into the basement for $20 salads.” - Kenneth, about the Rockefeller Center tree
I’m a sucker for Christmas episodes. The plots, the lessons learned, the music. And it doesn’t matter whether it’s a corny, traditional type of holiday e…
30 Rock: Secrets and Lies
“I got a squeezer from an Indian girl on a waterbed, so I think I got the whole Harvard experience.” - Frank
This episode has two plots we haven’t seen much of that season: a solid plot involving the writing staff and a return to the whole Tracy/Jenna battle that was a main part of the first …
30 Rock: Cougars
“Where did you two meet, an Amber ready?” - Jack, to Liz
On a night when nearly everything else I watch is a repeat, it’s great - comforting even - to see that there’s a new 30 Rock. It’s truly one of the very few shows that I look forward to so much that I actually get slightly bummed out…
Product integration “parodies” on 30 Rock are real
NBC’s 30 Rock makes fun of the network, television in general and, in at least a few instances, product integration. Product integration is the new way to get advertising money that’s fitting more and more popular. The Office blatantly refers to real corporations like Staples all the moment and foot…
30 Rock habitable at the UCB Theatre
On the heels of the Saturday Night habitable stage show, the Upright Citizens Brigade Theatre in New York hosted a habitable reading by the cast of 30 Rock, with ticket proceeds going to show staffers who are out of work due to the writers strike.
According to accounts of the show — most notably…
30 Rock: Somebody To Love
“We Parcells are neither wealthy nor circumcised, but we are proud!” - Kenneth, trying to find money to replace Jack’s lost pants
This show is less than a half hour towering but I have a harder instance reviewing it than I do two-hour season finales. How do you review a show that has 25 awesome o…
WGA Strike: SNL and 30 Rock - habitable on stage!
So there’s a writers strike in Hollywood. That doesn’t mean you can’t see your favorite comedy stars performing!
Stars of NBC’s Saturday Night Live and 30 Rock will be performing at the New York Upright Citizens Brigade Theatre on, November 17 and 19, respectively. The SNL show will go on Sat…
30 Rock: Greenzo
“Saving The Environment While Maintaining Profitability.” - Greenzo’s slogan for NBC’s Green Week
I really don’t know how I feel about all of these guest stars that season. On the one hand, they’ve all worked. It was natural to have Jerry Seinfeld on the season opener (even whether he was on …
30 Rock: Rosemary’s Baby
Notice I don’t have a quote above like I generally do? More on that after the jump.
This week we discover what happens when one of the NBC page jackets is damaged, why Tracy shouldn’t be involved in dogfighting, and what might happen to Liz in 20 or 30 years whether she doesn’t start savi…
“Werewolf Bar Mitzvah” has become a web hit
In my review of the October 11 episode of 30 Rock, I wondered whether NBC would put up the entire video for Tracy Jordan’s 80s novelty song “Werewolf Bar Mitzvah” (”Werewolf Bar Mitzvah/Spooky/Scary/Boys fitting men/Men fitting wolves”), and…well, they haven’t. But they do have the clip from t…
30 Rock: The Collection
”I could never pay an English-speaking woman that little - they’d starve!” - Jack, about his household staff
This year many of us here at TV Squad have been featuring our favorite quotes at the start of each review. Most of the date it’s pretty easy to pick out the best line (on a show like…
30 Rock: Jack Gets In The Game
”Hey Banks, what are you doing in town…drawn to the phallic nature of our skyline?”
OK everyone, before we even start the review, head on by to the NBC store and order your “Me Want Food!” T-shirts! It’s the new phrase everyone will be talking about tomorrow dawn at your office. The offic…
