Mad Men (and Funny Tina Fey) at the TCA Awards | Roush Dispatch | 7/21/2008
In case you hadn’t heard, AMC’s Mad Men is not only a hit with the Emmy voters (the most nominated drama this year, with 16) but it’s a bona fide critics’ darling, walking away with three Television Critics Association Awards over the weekend at the 24th annual ceremony in Beverly Hills. Mad Men won for new program, outstanding achievement in drama and program of the year, prompting Emmy-nominated co-star John Slattery to quip (during one of the show’s several... read more

Jeers: Without a Tracy | Cheers & Jeers | 7/10/2008
Jeers to Tracy Morgan for slumming it as the new host of Scare Tactics. You're one of the stars of TV's best comedy, 30 Rock — why are you following in the D-list footsteps of Shannen Doherty and Stephen Baldwin by introducing the mean, gory stunts on Sci Fi's prank show? I know, it's a paycheck, but at least you could make it sound like you're not reading your lines for the first time as you're being filmed. I guess I shouldn't be surprised: This is the same guy who announced the winner... read more

Jack McBrayer Proves "Cancer's Not Cool" | Today's Top Videos | 6/30/2008
We've seen our share of PSAs, but they usually don't tend to be as over-the-top ridiculous when trying to prove a point as this one. In this video, 30 Rock's Jack McBrayer stumbles across two lovely ladies who are completely and totally turned off by this juice box-drinking, Hootie and the Blowfish-listening loser. You'll have to wait until the end to understand how this hilarious skit has anything to do with the fight against cancer, but we have to give it to StandUp2Cancer.com for its fresh... read more
Alec Baldwin Speaks Out Against Homelessness | Today's News: Our Take | 6/25/2008
30 Rock's Jack Donaghy may seem to care more about climbing the corporate ladder than public issues, but his real-life alter-ego, Alec Baldwin, is a different story. The actor is speaking out against NYC Mayor Bloomberg's homelessness policies in a new public service announcement from the Coalition for the Homeless. The group's accusing the mayor of lagging on a 2004 promise to significantly reduce homelessness in the city. Per the AP, the PSA features images of people on urban streets as... read more

Episode Recap: "Cooter" | 30 Rock Show Blog | 5/9/2008
Long time, no recap, my fellow 30 Rockers! Been on vacay and then in L.A. for our Sexiest Stars party. I reconnected there with Jack McBreyer, one of my very first 30 Rock interviews (and vice versa). Such a nice guy. His answer to the evening's "round-up" question, What do you find sexy? "Kobe beef sliders."Now on with the show! And what a show it was. The Rock has been a bit hit-and-miss since the strike, but this was a helluva season-ender, I thought. And why? All together now: It had heart.... read more
Cheers: 30 Rock — No. 1 With a Ballot | Cheers & Jeers | 5/9/2008
Cheers to 30 Rock for not being afraid to rock the boat — or the vote. The Emmy-winning sitcom has always gleefully bitten the corporate hand that feeds it, satirizing NBC and its parent company, GE. But during the election campaign, 30 Rock's gags have turned surprisingly political, taking shots at Rudy Giuliani, John McCain and President Bush (Jack Donaghy, who took a job with the administration alongside Matthew Broderick's king-of-denial Cooter Burger, proudly referred to Dubya not as... read more
Episode Recap: "Sandwich Day" | 30 Rock Show Blog | 5/2/2008
Hey guys, Matt's off being sexy at our Sexy Stars party, so I'm (Erin Fox) filling in this week. Poor, poor Jack! He's coming apart at the seams! Geiss' crazy mute daughter has filled his office with unicorns, stuffed animals and pictures of Mark Wahlberg, and Jack's been sent down to the lowly, and netherworld creepy "12th floor." He spends most of the episode in Geiss' hospital room reading him economics books or screaming at him (even whacking him in the junk) to wake up. But nothing works,... read more
Sexiest Stars: Sexy Party Secrets Revealed! | TV Matt'rs | 5/2/2008
It's Thursday night and the party celebrating TV Guide's Sexiest Stars issue is just starting to clear out. Settling down into a vacated plush couch across from the sushi bar, for the first time in, oh, six hours I am off my feet. What a time! Katsuya and S Bar here at Hollywood and Vine was chock full of pretty — and that was even before I discovered the whole other room in the back! The turnout was terrific. You had a nearly full House (cast), a bazillion Dancing stars (past and... read more
Episode Recap: "Succession" | 30 Rock Show Blog | 4/25/2008
Hey guys! Matt's on a very well-deserved vacation with his family, so I'm (Erin Fox) filling in this week. I'm a huge 30 Rock fan and hope I fulfill all your recap expectations. The episode, I think, was funnier upon second viewing this morning. I had written down a ton of one-liners before the 11-minute mark.Basically, the episode had two main stories: 1) Don Geiss chose Jack to be his successor (finally!) over Devon Banks (Will Arnett) who is marrying his fiftysomething, mute, asexual... read more
Scrubs and 30 Rock Doing the Ol' Switcheroo | Today's News: Our Take | 4/21/2008
Effective this week, Scrubs and 30 Rock are switching places on NBC's Thursday-night lineup to close out the season. Each series has three new episodes yet to air. Scrubs moves to 8:30 pm/ET (following My Name Is Earl) while Liz Lemon and the gang at 30 Rock go to 9:30 pm/ET (after The Office). — J.R. Whalen read more
Ask Matt | 4/21/2008
Q: While watching TV Thursday night, I couldn't help but think about your recent Dispatch regarding 30 Rock and Eli Stone. You linked the two shows largely based on the fact that you felt they didn't receive the audience they deserved and, though I like both shows, I have to disagree with you. Both these shows have one fatal flaw: The creators can't seem to leave their politics out of things. In fact, they go out of their way to shoehorn political agendas in, even when they have nothing to do... read more
Week of April 14: My Top Five Moments | Roush Dispatch | 4/18/2008
1. The Eli Stone finale. Tears, cheers, and Victor Garber sang again. Bring this show back! 2. Cirie orchestrating the ouster of Ozzy on Survivor. Love how holding the immunity idol can come back and bite you if you play it too smug—or don't play the idol at the right moment. (Just ask James.) 3. Kristy Lee leaving American Idol, finally. I would have been happy with a Syesha 2-fer. (Who’s singing Memory on Andrew Lloyd Webber night next week? The ears bleed in advance.) 4. Tim Conway... read more
Episode Recap: "Subway Hero" | 30 Rock Show Blog | 4/18/2008
Now wasn't that a proper 30 Rock ? I just rewatched it for recapping purposes, and it was filled not with just great laughs, but also some heart. Damn the roller coaster that is the crazy Dennis-and-Liz on-again/off-again thing! Poor Liz, she wants "easy" romance where she doesn't have to shave or bathe, yet took a while to realize that's as bad for her as the Sabor De Soledad (translation: "the flavor of loneliness") off-brand Cheetos she was stuffing her face with all episode.This week... read more
Stanley Cup Gets Rock Star Treatment | TV Guide Sports Report | 4/17/2008
On tonight's episode of 30 Rock, The Beeper King meets Lord Stanley. Dennis Duffy (Dean Winters), the beeper-salesman ex-boyfriend of Tina Fey's Liz Lemon, returns as a newly minted subway hero. Enjoying the media spotlight from his fame, he recruits the Stanley Cup in an unfortunate campaign against illiteracy. "It and me will fight illiteracy," he tells Liz of his silver sidekick, the NHL's championship trophy. (And no, the appearance isn't a corporate-mandated move to boost NBC Sports'... read more
