I've watched all of the seasons so far in the last few weeks and I'm about caught up now, I just have to watch the most recent episode.

I lost it during the Pokemon thing. "Jack the plural of Pokemon is Pokemon".

Then Jack calls himself a squirtle. I never expected that.
 
New episode tonight:
Florida

When Jack persuades Liz to go to Florida with him, they make a shocking discovery about his mother; Jenna and Tracy assume responsibility for the show in Liz's absence, resulting in disaster for Kenneth.

God I'm going to miss this show. When Lost ended, 30 Rock was the only show still on where I actually feel an obligation to watch.

Um, so my TV Guide lists a local affiliate basketball game through the 8 o'clock hour, no 30 Rock or Parks and Rec.

What the what?

"she was Mrs. Silly!" "sketch idea."

Getting into the home stretch and staying strong. Everything worked here. Even Hazel worked.

Gotta disagree with you there. I've enjoyed everything about 30 Rock, but Hazel damn near ruined this great show.

I despised her as much as anyone else, if not more, when she was actually a character and they tried to make her work with the rest of the crew. But in this episode, just cutting away to Kristen Schaal doing ridiculous shit worked.
 
Great episode. So much awesome: everything with Jack and Liz in Florida, the oranges, rebel Kenneth. The Hazel bit over the credits killed me.

NBC comedy dies after 1/31.
 
I have to ask something.

How come a sitcom is so good at closing its plot threads when plot heavy, serialized, mystery shows keep failing and failing? Almost everything happening in this season has been so well established previously and so organic to the characters and their stories. Should Obama appoint Fey as TV Writting Czar to make sure every show has proper arcs?

not to disparage the show's writing: the stakes in 30 Rock have shifted a lot over the years, plenty of plots have not been satisfying, and overall everything has been fairly low key overall. They don't write themselves into corners nearly as much as hyper-serial shows have to do by necessity.
actually, it's not even specifically about 30 rock. it's that a good sitcom establishes its thematic tenants early on and remains relatively static over years to maintain dynamics. whereas a good serial mystery show should be constantly shifting, changing relationships between characters drastically, and so on.

again, this all isn't to say I'm not very satisfied with how the show is wrapping up.
 
Loved the episode, especially the twist about Jack's mom. The entire scene in bed with Jack and Liz was touching and funny. I always thought they'd hook up at some point, but it doesn't bother me that they never did. Can't wait to watch it again. So many good lines.

Parks and Rec is still going strong, and Community is back in 2 weeks, so no, NBC comedy is far from dead.
 
There were so many brilliant lines here.

It's really depressing me that the show is ending just a few days time. :(
 
Not as strong as last weeks episode, but then again what is. Even its weaker shows are still funner than anything on TV.

I find it odd they are ending it on Jan 31st, I just found out a couple of days ago, I thought it would end in may when most shows end.
 
my favorite joke of the night was when they talked about the Vietnam vets getting weird around palm trees at night. It was so subtle.
 
Just watched the episode again (30 Rock episodes require about 3 viewings to catch all the good stuff). Loved the line Jack said about how Liz reminds him of Socrates because she's got the body hair of a greek man. Also noticed that they blurred the vagina vases the first time they showed them, but there's one unedited shot of them when Jack gets out of bed with Liz. They look like clam vases, which I guess is fitting.
 
New episode tonight!
A Goon's Deed in a Weary World

Criss and Liz receive unexpected news; Liz tries to rally the staff and save TGS from cancellation; Kenneth interferes as Jack tries to select the new president of NBC.

Amazing ending. The Wonka stuff was great, too.

Only one left... NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
 
It's weird to see the show trying to tie up loose knots and all. It was an amazing episode, but somewhat sad as well.

LOL, I just realized that one-man band was Tina Fey's husband.

Ha! That is amazingly meta. My head hurts. Also, the Iranian Homonym contestant was Nina Pedrad, who co-wrote the episode.

For the second to last time, I'm gonna miss this show.
