We can see Season Two in the distance and it smells delicious

by Amy

So without giving away any major stuff, we’ve learned some plot points about the upcoming season of 30 Rock from a recent blurb in Entertainment Weekly. According to EW:

Seinfeld arrives in the first episode as himself to settle a beef with Jack, and several previous standout guests are slated to return (Will Arnnett, Dean Winters as Liz’s beeper salesman ex, and Chris Parnell as Dr. Spaceman). Liz will struggle with being single again after her breakup with Floyd. Tracy will try to win back his wife (”in a Kobe Bryant kind of way”, Fey says) after he’s caught by paparazzi with a transsexual prostitute. Jenna will battle weight issues (complete with fat suit for Krakowski) after spending her summer scarfing four slices a day on stage in Mystic Pizza: The Musical. And Kenneth may get a new love interest, and appear in clothing other than his page uniform.

If all that is true we’re super excited and not because of Jerry Seinfeld guest staring…not that there’s anything wrong with that. (We know, easy joke but give us a break. Seinfeld was on the air when we were watching nothing but X-Files and Hal Hartley movies so our Seinfeldian humor is way below that of average TV consuming humans).

So anyway, the reason we’re excited beyond the obvious Tina Fey stuff is Mystic Pizza: The Musical. Sweet! I must have seen that Indy Baby Momma of all chick flicks 97 times in high school. (12 more than I saw Dirty Dancing). If you happen to not have not been a card carrying uterus holder in the late 80’s or just didn’t see Mystic Pizza, I highly recommend you check it out. Like Now! This gem is your chance to see Julia Roberts before she totally started sucking and Lili Taylor being awesome even in fluorescent leggings. It also features Anabeth Gish (a very early 30 Rock blogger-Amy crush, guess I like the smart ones) who actually took over the hot FBI agent role on X-Files after Gillian Anderson left. Boom! Full circle people, I love it when that happens.

So yes, Mystic Pizza references and fat suits aside, we’re reallly excited about the new season of 30 Rock and you should be too! Don’t forget to tune in to NBC at 8:30 Eastern time for the fall premier of 30 Rock and of course be sure to keep your butt planted on that Barcalounger for The Office at nine.
