Not tonight on 30 Rock
Well, if you are a fan of My Name is Earl tonight was your lucky night, because there was an hour long episode on this evening, involving Earl doing something, undoubtably, zany. I don’t watch Earl but I heard somewhere that tonight’s episode involved some takeoff of COPS so I have to say that sounds pretty funny. I think my sister watches, so maybe she’ll fill us in later. In the meantime, I can offer what WOULD have happened on 30 Rock if it was on tonight.
We would open with Liz, probably arriving to work, and probably having some sort of discussion with Jack. Jack would be over-the-top business and perhaps wearing a tuxedo. Jack’s assistant might be there too, seething with jealousy over the attention Liz receives over him. Then we might have a scene with Tracy doing something zany or perhaps taking about something zany that he has already done. There would probably be a third storyline with Jenna using her “sexuality” to try and get something from someone. Or perhaps she’d create some other humiliating moment for herself, either by making another movie with a title no one can pronounce or by trying to become a lesbian so she can marry herself off to a long lost (and rich) member of a Canadian royal family. (It could happen.) In the meantime, Liz is trying to juggle all these crazy people without going kinda crazy herself. Pete would have one or two lines, (leaving me to wonder if Scott Adsit said something mean about Tina’s baby causing the lack of screen time.) Frank would be wearing a trucker hat that says “Chicken Fingers.” Liz would clean up all the messes at the 25 minute mark and Kenneth the Page would spend the episode so nice and earnest and naive that it almost becomes creepy.
But if you are like me and you’ve just got to have a taste of 30 Rock tonight, then check out this reenactment of a scene from season one, staring the models from Deal or No Deal. Good stuff, for reals!
