Watching the Tina Fey skit from SNL the other night reminded me just how much I miss her. I love 30 Rock. Love it. Love it, love it, love it. I think Tina Fey is just about the funniest thing on TV. It's an ensemble cast, though, made up of a bunch of talented actors playing (sometimes) believable but (always) crazy characters. I don't think she would be quite as enjoyable without these people to play off of. Alec Baldwin, who is a complete nutjob in real life, is absolutely hysterical as her boss. So it's not surprising that one of my all time favorite clips has him in it. Whenever I need a laugh, this is my go to clip.
It kills me that I have to wait more than a month for the show to return. Whatever happened to the days when all shows started in August/September and ended in May? I know the writers strike screwed things up, but this was happening before then, too. I am ridiculously excited for the show to come back. Don't even bother to call me between 9:30 and 10 on October 30th, because I will be watching the season premiere LIVE. No Tivo, no DVR...LIVE. That should tell you just how important this show is to me, because this girl doesn't do commercials.

You're an addict. I believe they have counseling for that :)
ReplyDeleteTina Fey rocks! Considering everything going on in the world these days...laughter is the ultimate cure.
I have never seen this...but that clip was hilarious. Especially the Howard Cosell (sp?) part at the end!
ReplyDeleteAnd this is exactly how I feel about Lost. I do DVR it...but I watch "live," then rewatch my DVRed episodes. 138 days 'til it's back on...sigh...
I think you and I would be great friends in real life. I like the way you roll.
ReplyDeleteI miss SNL too....I am NEVER up that late anymore...unless of course I'm checking in on my laptop friends! :)
ReplyDeleteI missed SNL this week and I can't wait for 30 Rock either. And The Office. Why do NBC shows come back so late?
ReplyDeleteOh my gosh, that clip is hilarious! We just bought a DVD Recorder and 30 Rock will definitely be scheduled for recording now :]
ReplyDeleteWatching TV live? With commercials? *shudder*
ReplyDeleteI've never seen 30 Rock, but I definitely can relate to feeling that way about a TV show.
I need to make a point to watch that!
ReplyDelete30 Rock is a huge favorite at our house! The wit and humor are so quick. My husband and I both crack up.
ReplyDeleteIt is the rare show that we both thoroughly enjoy. Others include The Office, Entourage, and Big Love.
30 Rock is the best!
ReplyDeleteThanks for calling by my blog on the BATW tour to New Zealand. I'm dying to see this skit video which has been posted a few times but seems it's only for consumption with in the USA. Bah humbug!
ReplyDeleteOh that clip was hilarious!! I laughed the whole time. Alec Baldwin is such an amzing comedy actor--he's my fave host on SNL. For some reason--I've only seen 30 Rock a couple of times--I'll have to make a point of watching it from now on.
ReplyDeleteAnd I agree--what's w/ the shows starting at the *end* of Sept.--what a rip-off!
Just as an aside--I saw Alec Baldwin and Kim Bassinger once in person years ago--they were literally the most gorgeous people I have ever laid eyes on!
I just got around to seeing that. I vaguely remember seeing it on TV. I really like 30 Rock too! Tina Fey is a comic genius.
ReplyDeleteI love 30 rock. I'm ready for TV to come back. They owe us one after last year.
