Title: 30 Rock is really the only reason I'm bummed about the WGA strike
Post by: TVC15 on January 11, 2008, 02:02:29 AM
I am watching season 2 now.  Man, I am pretty sure I like this EVEN BETTER than Arrested Development.

Seinfeld Vision and Rosemary's Baby are both fucking incredible episodes.  I want MOARRR.

I've never seen this.  I've also never seen Arrested Development.  Or The Office.   :'(  And I completely missed out on Curb Your Enthusiasm.

No way I'd put it ahead of AD, but the second season has had some really good episodes.

I'm glad they ditched the relationship stuff that was dominating the second half of the first season.  It was weird how characters essentially vanished as they made a big deal out of whatshisface the boyfriend.

AD is great and all, but I can only watch a handful of episodes any more.  I don't think I realized how hit and miss it was the first time through.

30 Rock tis indeed the best sitcom on television today, and the possibility that the strike might have killed it pains me.

Hulu is a video thing that the networks are getting in on to stream their shows for free (with some advertising) and deter people from watching them on Youtube.  I'm not sure if it's available in Japan.  TVC has an episode up on his blog (http://www.dutch-angle.com/?p=24), but I wasn't digging it.  Hopefully he puts up some better ones.

Might have.

The ratings for it were kinda shite, its expensive to produce, and NBC can't keep it around for the cachet of having a quality show on their network, that is, besides Heroes (ha), because of the strike.
I'm just saying I would be pleasantly surprised if it ever returns back on air with new episodes.  The nets are basically using the strike to cull their fields and only keep their strongest programs.  Most of the also rans won't be returning, that could include 30 Rock.

Yeah, I'm an Office nut, but 30 Rock is sooooo much more smartly written.  They're both awesome.

Galactica and now 30 Rock may be the biggest casualties of the strike  :'(

I fear 30 Rock's future. We were VERY lucky to get a second season with its poor ratings and even then thanks to the strike its only half a season. Who knows if we'll ever get season 3.   :-\

I used to only watch 30 Rock because it came on after The Office. Then I stopped watching The Office and jumped to 30 Rock exclusively omg :bow

Always Sunny is funnier to me but both are great

For you dirty poors, I can set up some sort of Hulu page on my website and take requests.  I just don't want the front page of my blog flooded with embedded videos.

What about the slightly worse fancast?  www.fancast.com

I'd assume same deal since legal bullshit is afoot, but worth a shot.
