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

By Jeremy Medina on 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 on 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

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 on 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

Real Sarah Palin to guest on Saturday Night Live tomorrow

By Jeremy Medina on 5:06 PM on October 17, 2008

Let's be serious: Tina Fey playing Sarah Palin on Saturday Night Live these past few weeks has been exactly what we needed to cope with this increasingly absurd election (Joe the Plumber, anyone?). Now, news has emerged that Palin wants to be in on the joke and will make an appearance on the show tomorrow night. (She apparently thought the first sketch was hilarious...even with the sound off.)... read more
