The Office: JK's impressions are always quite good, and the Dwight impression--JK as Jim impersonating Dwight, even--was hilarious. I'd seen the opening bit on youtube before, but I didn't know there was a closing bit too. OMG the funny.
30 Rock: v. sad she and floyd are over. I thought that was both touching and funny and could have been extended longer. Loved Liz as Jack's emergency contact, adored Jack's mom, thought whatshisface from Will and Grace was his normal level of funny. The bit about hayseed and hillbilly was v. funny.
Scrubs: DAMN Keri Russell! a) I didn't know you could be hot in that way, but kudos to you for growing up to be a grade a hottie; b) who knew you could play tramp so well?
Yay for Elliot and her boytoy. They are very special.

Elaine Stritch! What great casting. She stole every scene. Sean Hayes, on the other hand...great idea in theory, nsm in execution.
I also loved the way they protrayed the breakdown of Floyd and Liz-- it felt truer than they usually get to.
Elain Stritch was brilliant. Absolutely brilliant. That gleam in her eye when she discovered a way to tell if Jack was lying to her? Genius.
The break-up was sad, but comedically sad. I think they shouldn't have written him out so quickly, but it definitely had that patina of frustration that long-distance relationships can accrue so fast. "Can we talk about something other than work?" that lead into the weather was just so sad, but also so true.

My tape totally cut off about mid-way through. What happened at the end?
After that really touching moment in the parking lot between JD and Elliot, they all went back to Elliot's house. The boytoy was supposed to be on a trip with his friends, but he was there when they got back; and it turned out that he had been seeing Elliot's dad to ask his permission to marry her. So he got down on one need and popped the ring out, Elliot looked stunned and happy, and JD bounded in media res with Keri Russell on his back.
I love The Office. Really.
lisah, my awakeness cut off, about halfway through.
Kevin, are you all caught up on season 3, now?
I finally watched all of
30 Rock,
and
Scrubs.
If Alec Baldwin does leave
30 Rock,
or the country, or whatever, I think they could make the show with Elaine Stritch, instead. She's wonderful. I'm glad Phoebe is gone. The character didn't work for me.

Yes.
Scrubs
was sweet. I also enjoyed Turk, Carla and Kelso having one over on Cox. I have a complaint about this season (and maybe last, I can't remember), though. Too much of the stuff that used to be clearly portrayed as happening in JD's head, now seems to actually happen to other characters, too. In this instance, it was the whatever-that-was with Elliot and the Keri Russell character, when they first ran into each other -- and squeed up a wind tunnel. Also, I wanted to see Carla do something about the Janitor ghosting pediatrics.
If Alec Baldwin does leave 30 Rock, or the country, or whateve
Sorry, I'm down on my celeb gossip--is that really a possibility? Because of that voicemail message or whatever?
something about the Janitor ghosting pediatrics.
oh, that was hilarious! in a horrific amusement way!
