Opinion: What You Missed Last Night: Ten@Ten with Tina FeyOriginal at TV Squad
• Fri, Oct 30
By Bob Sassone Tina Fey was supposed to be on The Jay Leno Show several days ago but didn't make it for some reason. But last night she showed up. Well, via satellite, to do the Ten@Ten (not sure what that means to viewers who watch the show at 9 PM). Fey actually discusses something I mentioned in my review of las...

Of course, I won't claim to be smart enough to have predicted her meteoric rise in pop culture thanks to her genius Palin impersonation. No one could have, not even Lorne Michaels. And at least more people in America have woken up to the brilliance of Fey and "30 Rock."

By oxfordfilmfreak 30 Rock is consistently hilarious with wise cracks and witty dark humor, so I expected alot more from Baby Mama with Tina Fey being involved. However, being that she did not write or direct the film, it explains alot about why I was disappointed.
Opinion: My Weekend CrushOriginal at Dorothy Surrenders
• Fri, Oct 24
By noreply@blogger.com (Dorothy Snarker) The genius of “30 Rock” lies in its blending of the absurd and the everyday. Sure, not too many of us work behind the scenes on big-time TV shows, but we can all relate to its dysfunctional yet somehow familial (if you're lucky, that is) workplace. The relationship between mentors/foils/fri...
