Al Gore on 30 Rock



NBC's whole "Green is Universal" week came off a bit forced... but then again, TV viewers are used to having not-so-subtle messaging jammed down their throats anyway... which is why 30 Rock continues to be a winner. Through brilliant self-parody (Alec Baldwin nails it as an NBC/GE exec), they show us exactly what we assume is going on behind the scenes, and probably is.

For the sake of quality programming, let's hope to God the writer's strike comes to an end soon... or else we'll be left with The Biggest Loser Month followed by The Howie Mandelathon.

That episode was spot on. Not only that, but 30 Rock in general is one of the best comedies on television right now. (And that, for me, is saying a lot, considering my history of disdain for Tina Fey.)

What's not to love about Tina Fey?... Smart. Funny. Hot. Dorky. She's the complete package.

I tend to get turned off when "smart" and "funny" start to feel like "cocky," and I always got that vibe from her.

She is hot. That I would never have argued with.
