 |  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. |

 |  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.

 |   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?

 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?
