30 Rock Review: "Reunion" (Episode 305)

By Jeremy Medina at 11:00 AM on December 5, 2008

Guest-star free, the "Reunion" episode saw Liz Lemon get called out for her often hurtful humor once again. Invited to a high-school reunion, Liz initially shrugs it off because she was a tortured nerd in high school, bullied by catty prom queens like Kelsey Winthrop (Robyn Lively, sister of Blake)....  read more

30 Rock Review: "The One With the Cast from Night Court" (Episode 303) and "Gavin Volure" (Episode 304)

By Jeremy Medina at 4:00 PM on November 21, 2008

The past two episodes of 30 Rock represent what happens when the show perfectly integrates a big-name guest star and also when it doesn't quite work. The show's no stranger to big names, having had Oprah, Jerry Seinfeld and Will Arnett in the past. The star wattage has never been distracting, either, and almost always advances the plot in an amusing fashion....  read more

Saturday Night Live to add to new female cast members

By Henry Freedland at 12:41 PM on November 17, 2008

Maybe it was the fact that Tiny Fey as Sarah Palin gave Saturday Night Live one of its most-discussed skits since "Dick In A Box," but the ever-changing sketch-comedy program is choosing to reestablish a respectable X-to-Y chromosome ratio. Last week it was announced that comedians Michaela Watkins and Abby Elliott will join the show to fill the gap left by new mother Amy Poehler and 30 Rock-helming Fey. Despite news that they were to debut in this weekend's episode (hosted by Paul Rudd), it seems they will appear later this month....  read more

30 Rock review. Episode 3.02—"Believe in the Stars"

By Jeremy Medina at 3:00 PM on November 7, 2008

30 Rock's second episode of the new season, "Believe in the Stars," was a perfect example of why it's one of the best shows on TV. If the premiere was a bit awkward and tentative, its follow-up was anything but. Its madcap humor tirelessly delivered one joke after another at a lightning fast speed, adding up to one of the funniest episodes in the series....  read more

30 Rock review. Season 3 Premiere—"Do-Over"

By Jeremy Medina at 2:30 PM on October 31, 2008

First off, it must be said how great it is to have 30 Rock back. Fall TV has been on the air for weeks now, but NBC decided to wait until the end of October to air the premiere of the best sitcom on television (sorry, Office fans, but it's true). The show's first installment of season three, "Do-Over," was sort of like the first day of school after summer vacation: sort of awkward at times, but fast and buoyant and warmly familiar all the same....  read more

Maya Rudolph returning to SNL, Barack Obama next?

By Jeremy Medina at 3:49 PM on October 24, 2008

Hillary Clinton's done it. So has John McCain. Sarah Palin, too, just last week. Now it seems it might be Barack Obama's turn on Saturday Night Live, if rumors are to be believed. The junior senator from Illinois will supposedly appear on the show on Nov. 1, just in time, before the election (finally) comes to a close on Nov. 4....  read more

The 30 Best Moments from 30 Rock So Far

By Jeremy Medina at 4:00 PM on October 22, 2008

Tina Fey is so hot right now. Her impersonation of Sarah Palin has lured millions of viewers back to Saturday Night Live. NBC, bless them, have been doing all they can to use her performance as the hockey mom from Alaska to entice people to watch 30 Rock. The fact the Emmy-winning comedy has never had huge ratings is a shame, because it is, pound-for-pound, one of the smartest and funniest shows on television. In honor of the premiere of season three on Oct. 30 (right after The Office), we decided to fondly look back at 30 of its most...  read more
