30 Rock returned to us in a fiery blaze of hilarity this week, but did we think it would come back any other way? Not only was the return wonderful, there were two episodes. I love that more than Liz Lemon loves deli meats. Let’s dive into the amazing aspects of the new episodes, shall we?
- Liz, James Franco, and the Japanese sex pillow engaging what I’m going to assume was the most awesome three-way in television history.
- Liz having an office affair with the new cast member of TGS and embracing her “dirty thirties.”
- Jack’s story of sordid office romance culminating in the phrase “and I took my reward.”
- Tracy describing his freaky, sexy New Year’s Eve with his wife.
- Jenna finally gives it up and embraces her age, landing a spot on Gossip Girl.
I’m sure there was much more that made the return so grand that I’m forgetting, so thank God for DVR.
Welcome to Stone Mountain, where everyone looks like Kenneth and it’s perfectly acceptable to be beat the stuffing out of offensive, hill jack ventriloquist dolls. I can’t recall a site on television that has given me such joy in recent history as that of Jack bum rushing the stage at a small town comedy club and beheading and stomping Jeff Dunham’s (BLECH!) stupid doll Pumpkin in defense of Liz Lemon. So precious. I also never thought I’d get to so mad a t fictional television character, especially one that is a puppet. But no one, and I mean no one, bad talks Liz, I don’t care if she uses scented candles as an alternative to deodorant.
After stocking up on wine and binging on my DVDs, I was finally ready for the premiere of 30 Rock. Or so I thought. I had no idea what was to come in the premiere of the fourth season but what we got was hilarious from start to finish. Oh, how I missed the clever one liners, wacky misunderstandings, Jack being the best asshole ever, Kenneth’s dorky charm and Tracy’s outrageous behavior. Last night’s episode was filled with pages on strike, Liz and Pete being trapped in a secret non-love affair, Jenna going country and playing tennis, as well as a great jab at how this show has completely forgotten that Josh exists. Here’s to another piss your pants funny season! And guess what? A little bird told me Betty White is soon to be guest starring. I want to go to there. Now.
