Why Are 30 Rock's Valentine's Day E-Cards So Terrible?

I have to preface this by saying that I know exactly what it's like to work for the website of a TV network. I have been in those trenches. So before I get to the fact that the 30 Rock... CONTINUE READING WHY ARE 30 ROCK'S VALENTINE'S DAY E-CARDS SO TERRIBLE?»

30 Rock Is Winking At Us

Sometimes I wonder if the viewers out there who aren't watching 30 Rock are dismissing it because they don't get the little obscure references and nerd-bait easter eggs, because for me, aside from Liz and Jack's complex and fascinating relationship,... CONTINUE READING 30 ROCK IS WINKING AT US»

The Videogum "Tracy Morgan Promise": Tracy Morgan's Christian Bale Rant

The thing about a Videogum Promise is that it trumps everything. It is that powerful. Our e-word is our iBond.

30 Rock: Liz Lemon Roofies Don Draper

Last night's episode, "Generalissimo," didn't even need Jon Hamm to be one of the best of the season. More important, it solved the mystery of Salma Hayek's continued presence on the show, which so far has kind of sucked all... CONTINUE READING 30 ROCK: LIZ LEMON ROOFIES DON DRAPER»

30 Rock: Crazy Bra Lady

30 Rock: Wait, Grizz And Dot Com Are In Couple's Counseling?

Last night's 30 Rock wasn't as "edgy" as this season has been so far (though Kenneth did call Liz "The C-Word: Cranky Sue"), but that's okay, because it had genuine heart!
