You know, it&#8217;s kind of funny to think about how Thursday night&#8217;s used to be <strong>Must See TV</strong> with <em>Friends</em>, <em>Seinfeld</em>, <em>Will and Grace</em>, etc., on NBC, and then those shows went off the air and we all yawned.</p>
<p>Well, NBC is back. I know I don&#8217;t watch <em>My Name is Earl</em>, but others do and find it funny, so the fact that they have four <strong>popular</strong> comedies on in a row is pretty amazing.</p>
<p><strong><em>The Office</em></strong> was hilarious as always, but almost a bit more awkward than funny at times this week. I still love the dysfunction that exists between Michael and Jan. They seem so in love, they call each other <em>babe</em>, they have a camera set up over their bed, yet Michael has to sleep at the foot of it on a couch and can&#8217;t have his beer sign up.</p>
<p>I loved the song written by Hunter, and JIm stealing it at the end. I was hoping the song would at some point say&#8230;&#8221;<em>and her name was Jan&#8230;</em>.&#8221; so we knew it was written about her, but that never happened.</p>
<p>Good stuff, here&#8217;s one of my favorite clips from last night I liked. You can watch the entire episode over on <a href="http://www.hulu.com">Hulu.com</a> (<em>30 Rock</em> and <em>Scrubs</em> too).</p>
<p><object classid="clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000" width="510" height="295" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,40,0"><param name="flashvars" value="st=558&amp;et=617" /><param name="src" value="http://www.hulu.com/embed/0Tv9oeQMHuec4WP582EzbA" /><embed type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="510" height="295" src="http://www.hulu.com/embed/0Tv9oeQMHuec4WP582EzbA" flashvars="st=558&amp;et=617"></embed></object></p>
<p><strong><em>30 Rock</em></strong>&#8230;I know not as many people watch this as do <em>The Office</em>, but it&#8217;s just as funny sometimes, if not more so, and written just as well. Last night&#8217;s episode had a mysterious quote in the paper said by one of the NBC employees, who were all busy watching the hit reality series, MILF Island, which just cracks me up.</p>
<p>The way Alec Baldwin is so in love with MILF Island is hilarious. Anyways, here is a clip below. Liz Lemon is the one who said the horrible quote, and who also can&#8217;t stand MILF Island, so you&#8217;ll see how she in fact acts just like one of the MILFs.</p>
<p>&#8220;<em>Listen to me little Abner, keep your fried baloney hole shut!</em>&#8221;</p>
<p>Hilarious!</p>

<p>I didn&#8217;t get to finish watching <strong><em>Scrubs</em></strong>, but I enjoyed what I saw so far. Turk speaking Spanish now, and getting his wife to make him &#8220;brinner&#8221; and ignoring sex is classic Scrubs.</p>
<p>And the little high-five moment between J.D. and Turk&#8230;when J.D. adds the &#8220;down low&#8221;&#8230;hilarious!</p>
<p>All in all, a good return for NBC&#8217;s comedy night&#8230;looking forward to next week as usual.</p>
