That's too bad, because the 30 Rock DVD's look like ass.
FYI, the show isn't starting until Oct 30th!

The premiere episode had something like 9 million viewers which was BY FAR the highest rating in the show's history. The "Palin Effect" helped big time, but it remains to be seen if people will continue to tune in now that the election is over.

Yes, it's not exactly the same kind of humor, is it? I appreciate both, but I recognize 30 Rock's is more...esoteric?

30 Rock is destined to be the next Arrest Development (critically acclaimed, but struggles for survival with so-so ratings). As long as CSI and Grey's Anatomy are pulling in their Thursday night numbers, it won't be easy for 30 Rock to maintain the Palin bump from Fey's SNL appearance, plus she's going to work full-time on 30 Rock now that their season in in full swing.

Salma Hayek's cleavage needed their own guest-starring line.

I keep trying to like this show but I just can't. Sorry.

Hmm.. I thought the last two episodes were super hilariously awesome. It's interesting that they're evolving Liz from a Mary Tyler Moore type (good person with a few quirky flaws) to a deeply flawed person who is always consciously trying to be a good person but is not that much different from Jack at her core -- she tries to resist it while Jack has fully embraced it, and he's slowly pulling over to the dark side. And yes, Dr. Spaceman is comedy gold.

The slingblade Oprah flashback made me fall out of my chair laughing.
