I watch it hoping to like it more than the last time I watched it. I have a Sorkin soft spot, damnit.

Same here. But this last episode was the last time. It's not a show about a comedy show, it's a show about a bunch of fucking stalkers.

It's best to have things as dry as possible. like gymnasts' hands.

2. And I don't think it's a bad show; just disappointing. It has moments of good. And it at least gets points for making Chandler, well, Not Chandler.

The stalking story line is pretty weak. But I'll keep the season pass, for now.

Anybody watching 24 this time around? I think I'm done with it.

Reverse those last two words and it would get more interesting.

Well, maybe that's the new thing. Sorkin got sensitive about not being able to write actual comedy worth a shit, so perhaps he's not even pretending to put bits of the Studio 60 in the broadcast anymore. The Studio now becomes a backdrop of broadcast network intrigue and programming decisions. And, stalkers.

Didn't they nuke LA? I presumed that alone would get half the board to start watching it if they weren't already.

I didn't see the most recent one (I tend to tivo a lot and then watch a lot in one sitting), but the Christmas special made me cry with "O Holy Night". Sorkin is very good at emotionally manipulating me.

Hey now; we did get glimpses of "dolphin girl" and a militant black fruit-of-the-loom.

It seems that I can watch episodes 7 thru 12 (or 11, or something) of 30 Rock online. Do you all recommend?

The show might improve if dolphin girl got less screen time. Also, I need to use closed captioning to understand anything Dawn from the Office says.

I have grown weary of Sorkin's fast-paced conversation-in-the-hallway habit.

is dolphin Girl your term, or is there a character named that? If so, isn't anyone else bothered by the blatant rip off?

Am I being overly critical?

How illiterate do you have to be to have a big file (notebook) labeled "2005 Chron" filled with letters filed alphabetically by last name of recipient?
