Can I just say, the first shot of 30 Rock tonight was funnier and realer than any Studio 60 so-called sketch (please Sorkin, KISS: have a robot fight a bear) and the whole episode was great. It really reminds me of Newsradio.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

I might have to start watching 30 Rock--NewsRadio was the last sitcom I've watched on a regular basis.
And after tonight's Lost, I'm tempted to drop it, too. The only reason I'm sticking around is that I was semi-spoiled that something big is going to happen in the next few weeks, just don't know what .

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart
Finally watching Gillmore Girls: Did Rory not know that there are women in England?

Apparently, she did not -- or she thought that in the old country people lived 18th century lives and therefore no women at the office.
Well, Lost goes on hiatus after the second week in November.

Always Anti-fascist!
Yeah...might have played better if she didn't know the Brit was such a babe, as opposed to not knowing she was a chick ION, I am more disgusted than even I believed possible with Rush Limbaugh. Gimp humor...clever, you impotent windbag.

Heh. Though it may have been reasonable of her to assume that the women who DO wear suits to business meetings and don't show off their legs to close deals.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Nah, I'd close a deal with a show of leg. But I have working the room issues. [GG]
I either sleep in pants or shorts most of the time. The shorts aren't proper outside shorts, mostly--boxers with unsecured fly. And looser than I'd normally wear.
Cass, I rechecked the credits for that WitB episode, and it wasn't from a McDiarmid book. But now I'm completely blanking on the name. The next ep is, though. I'm assuming that they're moving on to increased familiarity with the new chick and making her just do the Carol Jordan stuff, because IIRC, Carol doesn't go to Johannesburg in the books. Which reminds me, in the books, Tony Hill has erectile dysfunction, and there was an exchange in this second ep that seemed to reference it, even though it's never been mentioned onscreen.
Have all 4 eps aired? I realised I only have three of this season.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
Have all 4 eps aired? I realised I only have three of this season.Third ep is A Hole in the Heart and the fourth is Wounded Surgeon.
I'm assuming that they're moving on to ...Yep. I watched the second ep and was placated by the way they are developing things. Sometimes I forget to have a little faith in BBC shows.
Then again? I watched Hex. Fool me once, shame on you... Fool me twice and you'd just better have pretty things to distract me.

Wounded Surgeon has aired? I must have missed that in the Adelphia -> Time Warner switchover. It has all my digital channels frelled.
I have achieved 1/3 of one shoulder of Aunty Entity! This is quite exciting.
