30 Rock Recap: The C Word

Title: The C Word Original Airdate: Feb. 15, 2007 GMMR Recapper: Brian Jack’s in a magnanimous mood, inviting Tracy to a posh Connectict golf outing for GE big-wigs. Tracy’s a fish out of rich-guy water right off the bat, but Jack sees his star as his ticket to hob-nob with the corporate brass on the […]

30 Rock Recap: Up All Night

Title: Up All Night Original Airdate: Feb. 8, 2007 GMMR Recapper: Brian 30 Rock tonight was a freaky hodgepodge of drunken Russian prostitutes, randy couples, bitter divorcees and way too little Tina Fey for my taste. And yet, by the end of this episode, I felt like I’d seen a little bit of everything, great […]

30 Rock Recap: Black Tie

Title: Black Tie Original Airdate: Feb. 1, 2007 GMMR Recapper: Brian We open with momma jokes. Can’t go wrong there, and Liz Lemon (Tina Fey) shows right off she can hang with the big boys. Of course the big boys don’t do black tie galas. Liz: What’s the difference between your momma and a washing […]

30 Rock Recap: “The Rural Juror”

Before we get into Brian’s weekly 30 Rock recap, I wanted to let everyone know that Brian is going to take off a week or maybe more of recapping because by the time the next episode of 30 Rock airs he will be a new Daddy!!!  I will be sure to let you all know […]

30 Rock Recap: “The Baby Show”

Title: The Baby Show Original Air Date: Jan. 4, 2007 TV is back!!! I’m referring, at least, to the TV that I watch, and it was great to have my Thursday night NBC lineup back. The continuing saga of Jim and Pam is someone else’s recapping duty (lucky stiff!), but I’m really psyched about getting […]

30 Rock Recap: “The Breakup”

Title: The Breakup Original airdate: Dec. 14, 2006 I hope no one has gotten too attached to Dennis (Dean Winters) in recent weeks, because he seems to spend the entire time this week stumbling his way out of Liz’s (Tina Fey) life. Like the last few weeks, I wasn’t blown away by this episode, but […]

30 Rock Recap

Original Airdate: 12/7/2006  This week’s 30 Rock was an episode of recurring themes – Jenna’s professional insecurity, Tracey’s unpredictability, Liz’s fear of being alone and Jack’s condescending, imbecilic superiority. It was also 22 minutes littered at every turn with belly laughs. So Liz and Dennis (Dean Winters) are roomies now, and it’s everything Liz thought […]

Tina Fey & Jenna Fischer: TV’s Pretty Funny Ladies

Two of the funniest women on TV, Jenna Fischer (The Office) and Tina Fey (30 Rock) recently got together to dish about men, their shows, and the tough competition on Thursday nights. Here’s a taste of their chit chat: Jenna: You know, I tried to get on Dancing With the Stars and they wouldn’t take […]

30 Rock Recap: “Jack Meets Denis”

Title: “Jack Meets Dennis” Original Airdate: Nov. 30, 2006 Maybe its Must-See-TV jitters or Tracey Morgan’s recent legal troubles but my third favorite show opted for character development over big laughs this week. It’s hard to complain, though, when it’s Tina Fey’s character that gets developed. Liz (Fey) is back with her old boyfriend Dennis […]

GMMR’s Thursday Night Redux

Thursday night television is becoming an Olympic event. It takes a real expert to navigate that remote control to effectively get in the most TV possible. With so much going on, I can’s possibly watch EVERY show that I want on Thursday. There are a few shows that I have to TiNo until the weekend. […]

NBC Thursdays Enter New Golden Age

Thursday nights are a good time to be alive. With the triumphant return of Scrubs to the Must-See-TV lineup, NBC will be pumping out two hours of the most rock-solid comedy in recent memory. My Name Is Earl, The Office, 30 Rock, and Scrubs is about as good as it gets.One can’t help but think […]

30 Rock Recap

NBC’s 30 Rock returns on a night of supersized comedy. Between this and The Office, I’m convinced that if you give a talented team of writers an extra 10 or so minutes to play with, they’ll reward you with brilliance. (NBC is on to something here, and I hope it catches on.) Right off the […]

30 Rock Recap: Jack the Writer

Title: Jack the Writer Original air date: 11/1/06 I took more notes than usual when I watched 30 Rock this week, which was surprising because it seemed like pretty much nothing happened when it was over. After three straight weeks of improvement, I’d have to say Tina Fey’s behind the scenes look at a prime-time […]

30 Rock Recap: Blind Date

I’m not sure I’m in love with 30 Rock yet.  But I’m not giving up on it.  It’s a freshman comedy still trying to figure out who they are.   GMMR 30 Rocker Brian seems to be enjoying it.  Here’s what he was to say about tonight’s episode. For two weeks I sang Tracey Morgan’s praises […]
