How Do I Love 30 Rock?

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.

  1. You're an addict. I believe they have counseling for that :)

    Tina Fey rocks! Considering everything going on in the world these days...laughter is the ultimate cure.

  2. I have never seen this...but that clip was hilarious. Especially the Howard Cosell (sp?) part at the end!

    And 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...

  5. I missed SNL this week and I can't wait for 30 Rock either. And The Office. Why do NBC shows come back so late?

  7. Watching TV live? With commercials? *shudder*

    I've never seen 30 Rock, but I definitely can relate to feeling that way about a TV show.

  9. 30 Rock is a huge favorite at our house! The wit and humor are so quick. My husband and I both crack up.
    It is the rare show that we both thoroughly enjoy. Others include The Office, Entourage, and Big Love.

  10. Thanks 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!

  11. Oh 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.

    And 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!

  12. 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.
