charming cast
great music they force you to sit through
does not cater to short attention span
actually funny iconic stuff
i build my personality around gilda radner
muppets for the sake of muppets
it's always splendid to come across something you love so much it makes you experience deep regret for not having looked for it earlier. of course, comedy is subjective, but 30 rock is probably the funniest show i've ever seen. it elevated tina fey to deity status for me (i'm also reading her book, bossypants) and it's totally deserving of being the subject of my first recommendation around here. the comedic pacing is very impressive. it's absurd. it's heartfelt. it's self-aware. and it never feels bumpy. if you haven't watched it, you should. and if you have, you should go again.
I'm rewatching this show now and I forgot how fun it is! If you liked the Office or Superstore, it's a pretty easy recommend. Shoutout especially to this show for being based in Philly!
go support your local library, read a book, befriend a librarian, learn something new, sit in the silence and contemplate the meaning of life fun fact: I borrowed and watched seasons 1-7 of game of thrones from the library when I was in high school because I didn't have that sweet HBO money
It's that sweet spot between recession pop and the genre blending/experimental music that became more accessible through streaming and social media. The two really blended well during this era.
