And they celebrate by knocking yet another one out of the park. My 30 Rock enjoyment was even stronger minus the bitter aftertaste of second season renewal worries.

I couldn't agree more; not even if I went to K-Mart and bought myself an electrified Agreeing With Brandon Machine. In fact, I think I might have to head over to athleticreporter.blogspot.com and start working on something re: "30 Rock"...

Yay!!! Take that, right-wing torture-monkeys!
(Also, I'm really looking forward to this episode of 30 Rock now!)

Well, now I feel like we've over-sold it.

Brandon does have a history of that. But I don't really think 30 Rock episodes can be oversold.
"In the future, 30 Rock will replace oxygen as the thing we breathe to stay alive."

For the record, I've never seen an episode of television so undersold. They did justice to the "super-size" concept like no one ever has before. Spectacular!
Also, as part of my weepy-eyed appreciation of the bit about how a 10-second online sitcom can still have like 30 producers, I watched its credits in slow motion – which enabled me to pick up on the fake banner ad on the same page. "Moonquest: Quest for the Moon."
(Which is funny once, and then funny again because it reminds me of a line I wrote in our comedy script.)

And now 10 Emmy Nominations, including acting nods for Baldwin and Fey. It puts me in mind of another comedy that struggled in its first season, finishing 75th in the Nielsens, then earned 13 Emmy nominations (and won five, including Outstanding Comedy Series), helping to propel it to hit status over the next two seasons. I speak, of course, of Cheers.
30 Rock Oxygen Replacement Scenario, here we come!

Heh. Or Arrested Development. Can NBC get out of the way of a show that's destined to become Cheers in 2010, or will it fumble 30 Rock like Fox did with AD's mountain of Emmys? The Office gives us hope that they know what they're doing, but hope and TV executives go together like shampoo and olives.
Prove me wrong, NBC!!!

I have an aunt who urges me to smear olive oil in my hair, claiming it's truly the best, most natural, most ancient (i.e. Roman), and most frugal way to achieve the elusive "shine."
I was thrilled to see 30 Rock get so many nominations. So thrilled, in fact, that it almost (ALMOST) made up for the near-complete lack of love for Friday Night Lights. I mean, I consider myself a Boston Legal fan, but there's no WAY it deserves to take a best drama series slot away from FNL. So depressing.
But Battlestar got writing and directing nominations, which I guess counts for something. Still, it, too, should be in the best drama series category.
I'm glad they got the comedy series category more or less right, though. :-)

Oh, very clever. You're calling me out for an inept metaphor? I guess if you search hard enough you can find that shampoo and olives do go together. But I found a couple other things that go together, too.

Or you can just Google "olive shampoo." (I am SO banned!)

Comment Sass looks delicious. Me wants some, please?

For you, Comment Sass comes in "Classic" and "Now with 30% More Bait!"
