His SNL gigs are the funniest stuff that tired old show ever produced.

Funniest?

Are you confusing him with Christopher Walken? Walken is number 1 on SNL.

I’m so ashamed.

Also the scene where Adam Baldwin told an environmentalist to “take a shower, hippie” and threw his Green Week petition in the boy’s face, was also amusing.

Clearly, the concept was not received well by all. heh.

I don’t want to like it. Baldin represents everything I hate about Hollywood and liberal actors, and Fey herself seems fairly Moonbatty, but 30 Rock is irresistible.

Amen brother. Was ready to hate, learned to love (the comedy that is)
Green or not NBC put together a respectable Thursday night again. Earl’s take on green week was fantastic. Alec Baldwin’s timing is spot-on, and The Office is The Office.

I find Baldwin’s politics just awful but the man is a comedic genius on 30 Rock. Tina Fey is awesome too.

Politics aside, 30 Rock is the show I watch faithfully along with The Office.

It’s my “One-Two” comedy punch every Thursday night.

Oh yeah, and that “we’ve gotta update these forms” line just rocked me.

Did anyone catch last week’s episode when Lemon asks Kenneth if he can talk and walk with her and he says something like, “normally, but now you’ve got me thinking about it.” That whole bit had me p*ssing myself. Physical comedy is NOT dead.

Or Carrie Fisher as the washed-up, crazy hippie TV writer from the early 70’s all about abortion and standing up to “the man” but in reality she was a nutbar? Beautiful.

Here’s to Fey, Morgan, Baldwin and the rest who make this show worth watching.

Last year, their “Person of the Year” was us. They are taking a poll on their website to see who readers think deserve should get title. So far, author J.K. Rowling and The Goracle are in the one and two spots respectively.
The editors, o…

Does anyone have a clip of South Park from about 10 days ago? The scenes of Gore flying around the room ala Superman, saving the world from ManBearPig are flippin hilarious.

The My Name is Earl bit on Green Week was the funniest because it spent the bulk of it poking fun at the “man” forcing them to insert the information into a show where it was wholly inappropriate.

Mindcrime

Please tell me this is true. I recorded it to watch this weekend, and I almost removed it for being on during NBC’s Green Week.

I only watch like 5 shows, and fortunately the others aren’t NBC productions.

(if you’re curious)… House, Pushing Daisies, Reaper, Earl, and Psych. I wanted to like “The Riches”, but I never really did.

I must be as old as you, as I remember him. Not funny, but better than Jimmy and Tina.

With reference to Colin Quinn as discussed above, rarely funny, but a laugh riot compared to Jimmy and Tina.

Have you forgotten about Jimmy Fallon already? He’s worse than she is, and they were on Weekend Update together.

I probably had blocked it out of my memory given that he was so incredibly terrible. But yes, you do have a point, so let me amend to say she’s tied with her pathetically unfunny co-anchor for worst Weekend Update anchor ever.

(man, I feel OLD!)

Every program tried to advance the Party Line; every plot device, all the dialogue, usw., usw., ( und so weiter / and so on )

My favorite was a three-hour program about two teenagers going on a date to a lake: instead of making out they discussed the true role of the Party leadership in meeting legitimate worker demands in the DDR circa 1981

Even while they were changing bathing suits they continued the ‘politically correct’ discussion. Lakes in eastern Germany are cold even in the Summer, so after you have a swim you need to change into another suit if you want to sunbathe while explaining to the Hot Germannic Chick that you find her ideologcally stimulating
