The shows are back! What was that hiatus all about anyway? Were there group travel discounts to Cabo? SPRIIIIING BREAAAAAK! (Fun Fact: spring break jokes, which involve just shouting SPRIIIIIING BREAAAAAAK, are valid from February 1st to June 30th.) Anyway, I haven’t watched all the shows yet, because sometimes in life there are other things to do besides just watch TV shows (I am only kidding, obviously, and yet), but I have watched the double header of 30 Rock. Two episodes! Great work, everyone! I’m actually not sure which one I liked better, because they were both really solid. Even though some of the men vs. women, black vs. white stuff was a little broad, it was still probably the smartest and funniest attempt anyone on a prime time sitcom has made in awhile to address actual persistent social issues like race and gender equality but without giving up the lafffffs. Of course, the Khonani b-plot in the second episode, in which two janitors play out this winter’s late night wars, was fun and winky, although the fact that it ended with a joke about how Conan would just be going to FOX anyway kind of took the wind out of the whole thing. I mean, they did the best they could! It was still very timely! But also Conan isn’t going to FOX, he’s going to TBS. It will be great (right?) but at the same time, 30 Rock‘s joke about FOX actually made the TBS thing suddenly feel really lame? It was a lose-lose joke. The most important thing, of course, though, is how much I don’t feel like talking about that situation anymore at all. Good luck millionaire TV celebrities! Good luck janitors!
The shows are back!

Community was totally streets ahead and 30 Rock was Surf Party USA in a big way.
This comment succinctly sums up how I felt about last night’s episodes; now if you’ll excuse me I need to give a banana to Annie’s Boobs.
Fav by far. I’m still craving chicken fingers.
I just watched community. Best. Episode. Ever.
At the end when Abed says something like “you can find a replacement for everything, except friends” that’s because COMMUNITY IS THE NEW FRIENDS. I felt like pointing that out, in case someone missed it. Streets ahead indeed. I ran down the street high-fiving random people on the street after I watched the episode.
I wish Julianne Moore didn’t bug as much as she does.
I think we can all assume that the reason Gabe wasn’t able to watch TNTV was because he was OBVIOUSLY at the NFL Draft cheering on his favorite sportsball team.
Experts told the Broncos not to draft Tim Tebow becuase the franchise would probably not survie his terrible throw, but in its heart, the team knew drafting him the first round was the right thing to do.
The Broncos should have listened to the experts.
I still have to see “Community” and “The Office,” but I am searching everywhere on the cable box for old episodes of “Bitch Hunter.”
I think Julianne Moore is a terrific dramatic actress, but that Boston accent has got to go. It totally annoys me.
yeah, everytime she speaks i legitmately cringe. living in boston is bad enough, i don’t need to hear the already terrible accent butchered when i’m just trying to have a lol or two…
Julianne Moore is fantastic, but she is butchering that accent wicked bad.
Wicked Bad Hardcore Even!

I’m confused by your post. Is 30 Rock that program where all those puppets live in the barrio?
strange, when I babble on and on, I also always end up talking about Inuits. It’s always a little sad when I realize I’m not as unique as I thought.
Kanye East!
I loved all the episodes but there were 4 whole UGGs in one of the 30 Rocks.
Uhhhh this is definitely NOT my Facebook account and you should probably NOT use this to cyberstalk me because that would not make any sense.
Hey Jeff, did you check out that Jeff Sundin jerk above you? He has your same name and he likes UGGs!
I don’t want to speak for Jeff Sundin, but I think he was criticizing UGGs! Or SO I’VE HEARD.
It seems like this is happening a lot lately, which I’m assuming is a byproduct of the new phase of Facebook’s increasingly invasive privacy settings?
Bringing up the dilemma in my mouse heart once again about leaving facebook, but then how would I see all the pictures of the kids that my old college friends now have? Go and visit them in person? Not a chance! Because babies, how do they work?
seriously. i’ve deleted my fbook before but then i hear someone’s pregnant (or just got really fat) and i have to come back. horrible horrible addiction.
maybe i should just make my profile picture a landscape….
Two episodes of 30 Rock is one of the only things that can almost make no Parks & Rec acceptable (almost).
C is for suspension!
Kenneth had 1 second of magical screen time in the first 30 Rock, which made the episode for me.
“Do I know you?”
“Shut yo mouth!”
“Don’t be a buffoon-”
“That’s a 15th century term for a black pirate! Racist!”
Classic.
“I think this is the only restaurant in the world with a veal tank.”
“It just tastes better when you get to pick it yourself.”
I miss when all the 30 Rock jokes were that funny.
The first time they introduced the janitor I thought his name was “Kashmiri,” which would have taken 30 Rock to a much darker, more controversial place.
I’m pretty sure Jonathan did say something about him being a Kashmiri…
More Jarem please.
“That’s not THAT much cheese …”
Alison Brie understands that the internet exists and that animated gifs exist and knows how to make them work for her.
Agreed.
I put my hand over my boyfriend’s eyes in that scene. Because I wanted it all to myself.
I get the Khonani = Conan joke, but I’m not getting why the Jay Leno janitor was named Subhas. Can someone please explain it to this dummy?
He’s a real janitor at NBC, and he’s really named Subas!
Maybe it was the long hiatus, sleep-deprivation, or being drunk off a KFC Double Down Sandwich, but I really enjoyed the hell out of last night’s shows. I wish I could dress like Easter, go to the room in my hair, watch some Bitch Hunter and feed Annie’s Boobs.
Did someone say Alison Brie gifs?
“Happy birthday, BITCHES!”
I usually don’t care for gifs, and it’s probably because I am 49 years old and don’t understand how they work, but bless you for this one. Bless your little heart, TS.
Community had me crying laughing and the rest was just dull dull and dull. I am pretty sure I had something besides that to say but that Alison Brie gif is making me forget all else.
I was happy to see a Glengarry Glen Ross reference with Jack’s:

And

“As my good friend and fox hunting partner Mary J. Blige would say, ‘No more drama.’”
Troy likes butt stuff, needs Internet friends.
Under Ahbed’s likes does it say Banjo Pusie? because I don’t know what that is.
It also looks like Troy needs Video Gumes. damn. so close.
I think it’s just plain ol’ banjo music. I love that he “needs” lip balm and #2 pencils. So much stationery love.
I missed Parks & Rec so hard.
Yeah – two 30 Rocks were great but this season’s programming schedule has been streets behind.
My monkey doesn’t like this caviar!
The best decade to be a teenager would be the 1490′s.
I want Bitch Hunter to be a real show.. with Scott Baio starring as Bitch Hunter.
I died when Erin said that her hair was her room.
Also I am currently trying to make “book” happen.
