30 Rock -- "Black Tie" -- 02.01.2007

Not really a regular viewer of this show, but i'm hoping that someone who TIVOs this show can answer this before deleting it..

Who was that hot chick in Tracy's posse trying to tempt Pete? I missed the end credits.

She was an actress and found out he was a producer.

That would be April L. Hernandez. I recognized her from Freedom Writers. She looked much hotter in this.

whoa. that's her? I remember her from ER. It's amazing what the scrubs can hide. Thanks Mano.

Oh, and Tina wasn't looking that bad, either.

"Your name sounds Jewish, you must be important!"

"When he was born, the doctor told his mother and cousin that he would either live for 15 minutes or 100 years. He proved them all wrong."

Tina Fey was especially funny tonight. I would've thought that the prince would be played by Rachel Dratch.

The network didnt think Dratch was attractive enough to play the Prince.

I loved this episode! The catfight was classic. I don't think I ever laughed so hard.

This show is quickly becoming my second favorite on NBC Thursday night comedy block after the Office.

"Oh... you look LIKE A BABY!"

Pretty good episode. It's still my favorite show on Thursdays.

Hilarious episode last night.

I loved Jack's comment to Liz near the end (paraphrasing).

Jack: "...you, a woman the same age as me..."
Liz: "I'm 12 years younger than you."
Jack: "A woman your age then."

Pee Wee was great, I just wish they hadn't shown him in the previews, because really his initiall shout was the funniest moment.

Jenna: "You're right, Liz, I should go for it!"
Liz: "You're not even listening, are you? Poop. Monkeybutt."
Jenna: "No, you're a good friend."



Excellent episode, even though most of it happened away from 30 Rock. It was great to see Paul "Pee Wee" Reubens again (his freakishly little hand reminded me of Chris Elliot's character in Scary Movie 2). And I hope Isabella Rossellini will be a recurring character; her breaking the bottle during the catfight was classic.

Every month should be a sweeps month!

Another great episode; this show has been firing on all cylinders since the second ep, makes me wonder if they can keep it up.

Funniest parts for me were Kenneth's "Remember when those evil kids won at the end of Footloose?" and the prince moving his freakish legs after telling Jenna he couldn't dance.

That was a great episode -- again!

Pee Wee as the prince was hilarious (and a little creepy). I was rolling when he was telling Jenna all the dancing styles to do :

"Jazz! Swing! Charleston! Interpretive!"

Pretty good episode. The prince was a little over the top but still funny.

And still the idiots of America would rather watch a show like 'My Name is Earl' than a funny, intelligent, crazy, wacky show like this:

http://www.zap2it.com/tv/ratings/zap...ings-headlines

Ugly Betty" put ABC on top at 8 p.m. with a 9.3/14. A "CSI" rerun on CBS finished second for the hour. "My Name Is Earl," 6.3/10, and "The Office," 5.8/9, were third for NBC. "'Til Death" and "The War at Home" averaged 3.2/5 for FOX, while "Smallville" earned a 3.0/4 for The CW.

At 9 p.m., "Grey's Anatomy" scored the night's biggest audience with a 14.9/22. CBS stayed in second with a new "CSI," 13.4/19. There was a big drop to third, occupied by NBC's "Scrubs," 4.1/6, and "30 Rock," 3.6/5. "The O.C." posted a 2.5/4 for FOX, good enough to beat "Supernatural" on The CW.
I know the competition is tougher from 9 to 10 pm, but a drop from 6.3/10 to 3.6/5 shows you the intelligence of the American viewing audience.

But luckily this show is on NBC and since they are near dead last they won't be getting rid of this show anytime soon, especially with Alec Baldwin winning the Emmy.

I also wished they hadn't showed Paul Ruebens in the promo's as his performance was so over the top, it deserved to be a surprise.

So, my favorite shows in order:

1. The Office
2. 30 Rock (not too far behind)
3. Scrubs (past it's prime)
4. My Name is Earl (only 1 really funny episode this season - Cops)

Chris

Sorry if this has been posted previously but NBC plans to shelve 30 Rock from March 15th to April 19th. Its timeslot will be occupied by the new Andy Richter show.

From tvguide.com:
A fresh release from NBC, cementing the plans to shelve Studio 60 as well as 30 Rock (!), to make room for two new series:

"NBC's new mid-season drama The Black Donnellys will premiere on Monday, March 5 (10-11 pm/ET) — following the hit drama Heroes — while the new comedy Andy Barker, P.I., starring Andy Richter, will debut on Thursday, March 15 (9:30-10 pm).

"Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip will return later this season on a date to be determined. 30 Rock will return... with original episodes on April 19, after Andy Barker completes its slate of episodes" and Alec Baldwin's SAG Award gathers a good inch of dust. Ahem.
That sucks.
