Community, 30 Rock, The Office, 30 Rock

Community - Contemporary American Poultry, 1.21
  • I, too, like to stay streets ahead.
  • Abed voiceovers. Perfect.
  • Layla sequence. This is v good.
  • Hi, emotional center. Weren't gone long enough to quite miss you, but you are appreciated.
  • Sidenote: Pomplamoose in a car commercial! What?! Exciting!

30 Rock - Lee Marvin vs. Derek Jeter, 4.17
  • "You look like a prison weed dealer." - Jack
  • The green logo in the corner is back for Earth Day! Good job, NBC, but needs moar Al Gore.
  • Chelsea Handler/Elizabeth Banks similarity addressed kind of
  • Oh hey Pete. And Sarah Lancaster.
  • Julianne Moore does accents so badly. British, Boston, whatever.
  • "Pete can you tell the bald eagle at the zoo to stop scaring me?" - Tracy, LOL SO HARD
  • "This is America. None of us are supposed to be here." "I need to dance this out."
  • "Threefer, 'cause you're also gay."

The Office - Secretary's Day, 6.22
  • Written by Mindy! I'm excited.
  • All right. Decent episode, and I liked that Michael was largely in the wings so to speak (Carrell directed) so that the accounting dept could shine. Oh, accounts. My favorite trio. I also liked that Michael was relatively understated, because this season especially, he's had some too-outlandish moments that really create distance between the audience and the character
  • Erin's crazy reminds me of Jayma Mays as Emma's crazy: tt's the lesser of the two evils (Angela vs Erin, Terri vs Emma), but still pretty crazy. The difference is the latter of the two's idiosyncrasies are endearing.
  • Loved the line about her hair being her room when she was in foster care, Ellie Kemper is amazing and SO funny
  • I miss the creepy Pam/Toby days SO much, so I appreciated a little throwback here (intentional or not) when Toby was so eager to help Pam out, and she just hangs up on him. I miss Toby in general, being all the things he chooses to be.

30 Rock - Khonani, 4.18
  • Ugh, this was kind of awful... I don't think I laughed once, except at some of Jenna's one-liners (the one about her not knowing how beautiful she is). Tracy and Kenneth's storyline was boring and unfunny.
  • The Avery vs Nancy thing is so tired and dull. I hope it ends soon.
  • I'm looking forward to the season finale when Floyd gets married. That's it.
