(no subject)
The last two weeks have been really rough for me. I have a deadline on my measurements and I have been working around the clock. This has meant that there are shows piling up on my HD, and I tend to watch them days late.
I didn't even realize that I had missed an episode of both 30 Rock and The Office. I am finally caught up (I think) and read to go (for now).
30 Rock
Strong as usual. I was a little afraid that the Kenneth centered stories get a bit absurd with the whole page fight scene, but luckily Pete came down and set things straight. I mean I can buy that there is a hit TV show with a mentally ill star, but I can't buy that if Kenneth burned his jacket that anyone would care. And even if the pages did care, Kenneth could have just asked Jack.
I wonder how much of 30 Rock is just poking fun at SNL. I got the feeling that when they were talking about pushing the envelope in the 60's they were saying how little SNL push the envelope now. Although I haven't seen an SNL in years I never found their political satire all that biting. I always thought they looked for the cast member who did the best impression on any given president and let that be most of the sketch.
Jack's impression of Tracy was amazingly good. I laughed uncontrollably.
The Office
One week after one of the most depressing episodes, where I was actually worried that Michael was going to commit suicide, we get a Michael succeeds episode. I certainly think his commercial was better that the standard one with them waving, or at least it wasn't hilariously bad.
I actually forgot about 2nd Life totally till I met a quiz night regular at the pub who had been telling me about his 2nd life avatar on Thursday. I wonder if it's even possible to make a 3rd Life in 2nd Life.
Jim's avatar was the first time that we've seen Jim's interest in anything. He likes sports....well that's something. The only other time we see Jim as more than the guy who hates work and like Pam is when he had a party at his place a few seasons ago.
