The Status Quote: 30 Rock's Liz Lemon and Jack Donaghy

NBC has owned the Thursday sitcom for decades. Not counting all the ones that they got wrong. With the exception of My Name Is Earl, which I tired of at the beginning of this season, there is some serious comedy happening weekly that gets totally Nick'd.

If you're not watching 30 Rock, do. It's wacky, funny, and it's a classic example of the "underdog" poking fun of itself. Made doubly delicious because it's NBC and parent company GE, making it corporate self-mockery. Genius.


From tonight's new episode, two quotes:

"Jack goes to Sbarro's when he's angry, the New York Stock Exchange when he's horny, and Christie's Auction House when he's depressed."
-Liz Lemon, 30 Rock to the writers and Kenneth, the
page


"I'm not a creative type like you, with your work sneakers and your left handedness."

-Jack Donaghy, 30 Rock to Liz Lemon while being depressed at
Christie's Auction House

It was hard for me to get into this show... but that episode with Paul Rubens changed all that! I've been a fan since! I haven't seen this week yet but the last one with Will Arnett was too funny... "I'm Gay and I want your job". "I'm straighter than you are gay". "You're going down". "No Devin, I don't do that". Too funny.
