I’ve come to firmly believe 30 Rock might be the funniest show on TV. I may say that every Friday morning, but lately when I watch it and The Office back-to-back, I find myself laughing a heck of a lot more during 30 Rock.
I’m just saying.
Scrubs and 30 Rock both had their season finales last night, and I’m sad to report that the big Scrubs‘ Princess Bride (My Princess was the official title) episode directed by Zach Braff was sort of a dud.
Perhaps a lot of the disappointment came from the 5 minutes it took to figure out why Dr. Kelso was back in charge and Elliot’s ex-boyfriend suddenly in the picture again.
Obviously the episode was filmed very early on and meant to be shown awhile ago, but I guess they figured “save the best for last.”
Although in this case, it just wasn’t that great…at least for me. The homage to The Princess Bride really felt more like just a regular fantasy than the cult classic.
30 Rock on the other hand was absolutely brilliant once more. The political humor in this episode with Jack Donaghy going to Homeland Security and meeting his co-worker (played by Matthew Broderick) was priceless. Nothing works, they have no pens, there are no leaks and everything is just fine.
Tina Fey got pregnant and then wasn’t pregnant, because the Mexican cheese curls she was eating had a special ingredient…
I think 30 Rock is also so good because I really love the soundtrack they have for the background music. It’s so different from other shows and really helps keep the show moving fluidly.
Over on The Office, Jim Halpert has been motivated after being put on probation by Ryan last week, so he’s out trying to make a sale on the golf course.
Why he would bring Andy and Kevin is beyond me:
While Michael, Pam, Daryl and Oscar are out at a high school job fair, the rest of the crew contemplates why they are still at the office.
This clip below gives us my favorite line of the week (from Creed as usual) and shows Dwight’s current position of authority in the company.
I really enjoyed the episode last week when everything happened AT THE OFFICE, instead of these very popular field trips lately. It was only a tiny break though as we visit a golf course and a high school last night.
Don’t get me wrong, those things are still funny, but I just really, REALLY love the ones that are simply stories around the office.
What did you think of Scrubs, 30 Rock or The Office last night? Favorite lines?
Favorite line: When Michael was telling that high school kid he could do better. “You could be a migraine worker.”
Classic!
Oh yeah, he also said:
“We need to euthanize this place.”
I thought The Office was really funny last night. But I didn’t like how they made Michael seem more of a jerk than usual.
I’m with you man – Scrubs needed some life-support because that thing was on the verge of dying – not a good season finale at all imo.
The Office was hilarious and uncomfortable as usual.
I still don’t watch 30 Rock, nor do I plan to…

@ Mike – “we need to euthanize this place” was brilliant.

Office was once again good, but not great. I’m hoping the finale next week will make up for it.
I also was disappointed with Scrubs, def not as good as advertised, but on it’s own it was decent.

I’ll have to go with “good not great” for the Office this week. My favorite moments were from Jim and Pam, although not when they were together. Jim’s persistence in getting the sale was great and Pam getting frustrated enough with Michael’s antics to put out feelers for a new job was good too.

I just ordered a sweet Jim Halpert for President shirt from http://www.PantherTees.com. They have tons of stuff from The Office. They said not to tell anyone, but here is a 10% discount code, “pts10“ (it’s case sensitive, so copy and paste it). Enjoy!
