4 episodes in, and it's sucking. why?

1. jack and liz are all "i'll be there for you" friends bullshit. BARF.
2. guest star of the week syndrome. oh look, here's jennifer aniston trying to act. oh look, here's steve martin reprising his hollywood schtick on the small screen. TARDED.
3. reduced tracy presence. the best moment of the first four eps was in episode four, when tracy thought his spawn were trying to "menendez" him. QQ.
4. loads upon loads of obscure tv/film references played as jokes, like "the family guy" for the harry knowles set. i got the jokes; i didn't laugh. WEAK.
5. reduced jenna. reduced crazy writing staff. waaaaaaay too much kenneth. where's that skinny fruity guy tracy replaced? where's toofer? where's pete? oh, we have HOLLYWOOD GUEST STARS INSTEAD. GAAAY.

the shark is being surveyed, approach vectors are being calculated, and the ramp is almost installed. shame, too, because season 2 was fuck awesome.

Boo, I'm just starting season 2. Hopefully it picks back up, then.

the guest of the week stuff is kind of annoying.

Im waiting for the next Ross Rachel/Niles Daphney/Jim Pam combo, that ruins a show right away. I honestly cant stand Pam after a few eps of season 2. Wishy washy bullshit

Doesnt matter how good season 3 is, Tina Fey's celebrity will carry the show into season 5 even if quality suffers.

i still like it, but i'll admit it's not as funny as it used to be. Still good.

But at least it's nowhere near Sunny season 4 finale level.

You're probably right, but I'd wager when they decide to have an episode with the Office cast on it, THATS what will kill it.

And I like the Office.

MrAngryFace · « **Reply #18 on:** December 01, 2008, 03:57:42 PM »

I like the office when its not painful pam/jim stuff, does that EVER stop? Thankfully most of the worst pam/jim moments are at the end of eps in season 2

TakingBackSunday · « **Reply #19 on:** December 01, 2008, 03:58:26 PM »

ehhh it gets pretty bad in season 4 and 5

luckily so far this season it's been fairly subdued compared to the past two seasons

TakingBackSunday · « **Reply #22 on:** December 01, 2008, 04:02:36 PM »

Oh sorry I meant season 3 and 4, my bad

Season 3 is okay, but it has a lot of Jim/Pam shit. 4 is downright meh, everything before the writer's strike is dreadful and it only starts to pick up at the end. Season 5 so far has been pretty solid.

WrikaWrek · « **Reply #23 on:** December 01, 2008, 04:04:20 PM »

I'm enjoying it, but 4 episodes in, and i feel they need to bump up Tracy's quota of appearance. Him, the receptionist and Baldwin are the best things about the show.

The weight loss one WAS pretty excellent. It's mostly just gotten crummy since Holly left and it's turned into a Jim/Pam yawn-fest. There are still good bits, but there's been too much lame unfunny drama.

Olivia Wilde Homo · « **Reply #35 on:** December 01, 2008, 08:22:24 PM »

There probably was an increase of ratings using these celebrity appearances so welcome to the future of 30 Rock

Remember the finishing stretch of S1? That was way worse than this, for largely the same reasons.

The guest stars were probably temporary. November sweeps.

And why the Kenneth hate? He's a top 5 character, even counting Will Arnett.

Cheebs · « **Reply #39 on:** December 02, 2008, 07:17:46 PM »

The show has had a sizable increase in ratings this season pretty much securing the shows future but I think it is probably due more to Tina Fey's sudden fame than Oprah and Steve Martin.

Beezy · « **Reply #40 on:** December 02, 2008, 09:14:14 PM »

Yeah, the first episode this season was great. Everything else so far has been meh. I've had the 4th episode on my DVR for over a week now and I don't care to watch it.

I don't watch it regularly but the valentine's day episode was really good. It's kind of interesting that Star Jones is on the cast. Kenneth is just a gimmick character so I kind of feel bad for the actor that has to play him.
