Tonight on 30 Rock - “Seinfeld Vision”
Friday, October 5th, 2007This is my first shot at recapping a show, so lets see how it goes.
In the cold opening, jaunty music plays while Liz Lemon comes back to work after TGS’s summer vacation. The camera pans past a Girly Show and we see that Seinfeld’s picture is now part of it. (Spoiler!) A chipper Liz asks everyone about their summer. I’m surprised she’s noting who got their ears pierced or who grew boobs or who got fat (another spoiler!) No, wait, that was me after summer vacation in junior high.
Liz greets Jack and discuss his “big hit” summer replacement shows — America’s Next Top Pirate, Stronger Than a Dog, and MILF Island. Hey, I would totally watch that show.
Next Jack drops his new great idea on Liz — Seinfeld Vision. Using the hundreds of hours of footage from Seinfeld, Jack and his tech guys can digitally insert America’s beloved Jerry Seinfeld into any current NBC show. For the month of October, Seinfeld will appear in all prime time shows! Brilliance! A montage of digital Jerrys ensues, including Jerry as a suspect on Law & Order, uttering the famous line “save the cheerleader, save the world” from Heroes, and as a winning contestant on Deal or No Deal. Does Jerry know about this? Short answer is “no.”
Liz tells Jack that she had a great summer — and that she and Floyd broke up. But this is her year! She’s gonna meet a great guy! The ever-supportive Jack points out that women her age are more likely to get mauled at the zoo than get married.
Let’s all hum along to the theme music!
