Almost everything's on reruns. Highlight for spoilers:
- Scrubs: Carla's jokes are interesting given that I've recently been reading Jane Espenson's blog where she talks about "clams," which is apparently writer-speak for lines used so often that they're just not funny anymore, and Carla's one-liners sound just like them. And Dr. Cox's rant sounded more like a rant from the writer's room, giving a quick rundown of why each character's source of comedy, and... well Carla as a character just really isn't. She plays a big part in the story, often acts as JD/Turk/Perry's conscience, and helps set up a lot of Turk's jokes, but rarely is actually funny herself. So this whole storyline seemed more straight from the writers than from any character or anything.
I had been expecting Private Dancer to die, just cause patients who stay in a hospital for a long time don't have a very good chance. So the opening scene with him ready to discharge was a nice way to get me not expecting a downer before going with the suicide storyline.
"My baby's happiness is worth all the vaginal dryness in the world," was an excellent line, and the arguments over Turk's college hookup who turned out to be dead were morbidly hilarious. I think they found a decent balance of comedy and drama here, and while a few of the jokes were a little weak, this was a pretty good episode overall. - 30 Rock: Jason Sudeikis again, and you like him even more cause Liz Lemler cause she seems cute and pretty cool. Nathan Lane as Alec Baldwin's brother though? I don't like it. Mostly cause I just don't like Nathan Lane, he overacts like a silent movie star. Molly Shannon and that Dan Bakkedahl guy from The Daily Show show up too. But neither of them really did anything. Good to see Cerie getting at least a token appearance. She's been neglected recently.
As far as the actual episode, I kinda saw the Hospital thing being a scam, and was sorta expecting the father to still be alive. Tracy's finding religion story started out awesome but kinda faded. I'm not sure I cared all that much for crazy out of control "George W. Bush" Liz.
Best lines:- "My lawyer has advised me to join a church preemptively."
- "We lose half the congregation every time American Idol shows up."
- "It's only inappropriate with ugly people."
- "Kabbalah mixes all the wonderful parts of Judaism with magic."
- "I'm gonna go talk to some food about this."
- All the fist names!
On the Tivo: Jericho still.
