i like AD a lot more. but these days, 30 rock may be the best comedy on network tv.

I'm sure the fans of Two And A Half Men will be crestfallen at your pronouncement, Dr. Tube.

haha i really went out on a limb there. sorry, Doogie.

They're burning you in effigy on the According to Jim website.

id watch that show if the wife showed a little more skin

Even though I couldn't be bothered to watch an entire episode of 30 Cocks, just going by the responses in the thread probably means its even less funny than The Office.

The Doogie show is actually pretty funny, but like I said, network sitcoms, LOL

if you think the doogie show is funny, you just dont understand comedy.

Coming from someone who is extolling the virtues of this show, and Arrested Development, and whose comedy stylings basically CONSISK OFG TYPGING LIKEG THISK -- ANG SAYING "BABGY" to his wife, a technique copied wholesale and near incompetently from me, I'm quite confident that my UMGERSTANGING OFG COMGEGYG ISG JUSK FIME.

Speaking of comedy, I just watched the Sparkling Wiggles video for the first time in a while.

I showed this to some of my relatives over Thanksgiving. They were impressed.

NOK AS FUMMGY ASG TRAPSEE MORBGANG, THOGHG!

30 rock and arrested development are FUNGEEB

For the benefit of Loog's refined sense of humor: pull my finger.

loogs should stick to rock music, barbeque sauce, and sartorial splendor

And you should stick to sipping your coffee, and having people tell you what to like, ROGNEEB

this has gotten out of control.

I'll play the analogies game:

30 Rock : Arrested Development :: Loogar : Rupert Pupkin

There's a bar in Newport, RI called Salvation Cafe that has "Tennessee Williams Wednesdays" where the special is written on the chalkboard as "Oyster Po' Boy and a STELLAG!" so you'll probably have to sue them for stealing your bit.

that episode had me laughing out loud. . . i saved it on the ol' tivo and watched it again yesterday and laughed even harder.

"tell her you want her privates and your privates to do a high five!"

I kind of felt the same way about it at first. But that's just like AD - you can't watch little bits of it, you really need to watch the whole thing, and every show, as each show plays off of previous shows' jokes. Not in the way that AD did, of course, and this show is nowhere near as genius as AD, but I've really grown to love 30 Rock after ignoring it last season.

It does, however, have an interesting phenomenon that I've noticed. It seems to often start slowly and often not all that funny and then build up to a hilarious closing sequence that references everything that came before it, which somehow makes all of that hilarious in retrospect. Like the episode with Kenneth's party, it started out slow, and the build up to the party seemed like it was going to be a real let down, and then they cut to the next morning as if in the aftermath of a major catastrophe. That was the episode that convinced me there was no turning back - I'm a fan and can't miss this show every week.

LOVE IT.

This show's pretty good. Although I don't watch it that regularly. I always DVR it, and then watch 3-4 in a row in one night.

i've only seen little bits of it.

probably the best Ghostface appearances ever on network TV

The wife did the same, and now refuses to watch 30, only she's less shamed and more angry over some quote from Tina Fey saying "the best show won" or some such, allegedly. So she won't watch it.

I (we) fucking love that show. God bless tivo. That and How I Met Your Mother are eagerly anticipated every week... that show misses a joke once in awhile, and whatsernuts from American Pie is kinda annoying, but everyone else is strong, and a lot of the jokes land squarely in the bullseye.

Baldwin is sublime.

American Pie?

I watched (and liked) both 30 Rock and Studio 60. So clearly I win.
