30 Rock -- "The Problem Solvers" -- 11/12/09

30 Rock

Synopsis:

Spoiler:


A new "TGS" cast member (Cheyenne Jackson) arrives. The overly pampered Tracy and Jenna, upon noticing the low-maintenance newbie's cool humility, both consider changing their prima-donna attitude. In Liz biz, the exasperated "TGS" overseer is offered her own talk show.

I think that might be the worst cast photo ever.

Not the funniest of episodes, but it was solid.

There wasn't any Griz or DotCom, was there?

"What's a problem but an opportunity disguised as a stripper having a seizure on your boat?"

This episode was great. The running t-shirt gag, Kenneth as the Emperor, SportsShouting...

Best of this season by far.

I had to pause the show so I could breathe after that line.

I don't know why American pop culture has suddenly decided to mock Canada, but I am not questioning it.

Oh, and I hope Cheyenne Jackson hangs around for a while.

What do you mean suddently?

South Park: Bigger, Longer and Uncut did the "aboot" joke first and that was in 1999! In fact, the SP: BLU joke was a bit more personal as the newscaster bursts out laughing and mocks the Canadian Prime Minister for saying "aboot."

Yes - we're on the metric system, but the football fields are still measured in yards. They should've referenced the 110 yard field instead - it would've made more sense.

Canadian Bacon by Michael Moore did the 'aboot' joke before that.

And on the Canada joke, front, dont forget the Simpsons when Bart moved and was put in the special education class. "I'm from Canada and everyone thinks I'm slow, eh."

or the very fact that there's no football in December.

Besides that, it was still a good episode.

Oh shit, I heard Americans joking about the "aboot" thing long before 1999 even.
