  • Liz: What Bill O’Reilly erotic novel are you living in?
  • Jack: I suppose our situation is most reminiscent of The Commodore’s Lust from the Patriots After Dark series.

Obviously I need to follow the example of Liz Lemon and purchase this costume ahead of time.

"Gabe took the day off. He’s a Mormon and you know how they are about Leap Day."

Last night’s 30 Rock was SO bizarre. 

“Leap Day” was the kind of bizarre 30 Rock that I like best. This was my favorite episode in probably the last three seasons.

In Defense of Liz Lemon

Well, I can’t get on board the hate train, especially after last  week’s tour-de-force episode, in which Liz morphed from a crazy old  subway lady (every New Yorker’s dream: she gets her way at every turn)  into Heath Ledger’s Joker. Someone needs to speak up for the Lemon, and  for the Fey. Because from the beginning Liz Lemon was pathetic. That was  what was enthralling, and even revolutionary, about the character.  Unlike some other adorkable or slutty-fabulous characters I could name,  Liz only superficially resembled the protagonist of a romantic comedy,  ready to remove her glasses and be loved. She was something way more  interesting: a strange, specific, workaholic, NPR-worshipping,  white-guilt-infected, sardonic, curmudgeonly, hyper-nerdy New Yorker. In  the first episode, Jack nails her on sight as “a New York third-wave  feminist, college-educated, single-and-pretending-to-be-happy-about-it,  over-scheduled, undersexed, you buy any magazine that says ‘healthy body  image’ on the cover and every two years you take up knitting for … a  week.” Even Liz had to admit he scored a point.


- There’s been a backlash to “30 Rock” this season, particularly the character of Liz Lemon; which is why you should read the rest of Emily Nussbaum’s impassioned 1,700-word defense of her: http://nyr.kr/xDdxKc



Emily Nussbaum is one of my very favorite TV writers.

"Realizations are THE WORST!"

- Liz Lemon

"More than jazz, or musical theater, or morbid obesity, television is the true American art form. Think of all the shared experiences television has provided for us, from the moon landing, to the Golden Girls finale, from Walter Cronkite denouncing Vietnam, to Oprah pulling that trash bag of fat out in a wagon, from the glory and the pageantry of the Summer Olympics, to the less fun Winter Olympics."

- Kenneth Ellen Parcell

…I would totally watch Hey, Roz, especially if it starred both Roz from Frasier and Roz from Night Court.

Seconded. Even though I haven’t watched Night Court yet. I just really love Roz from Frasier.

I didn’t catch the “Happy Hanukkah” until I saw this one facebook.
Semi-related: I can’t find a good screencap of Pete, Satan, Santa, Jesus, and Kenneth looking out at the sea, but that was just a lovely shot. And bizarre. But also lovely.
