30 Rock - Season 5 [US] Spoilers

Poochie05 · 12-12-2010 6:55pm

I agree it's been quite hit and miss over the last 2 seasons but the last couple of episodes have been on fire and back on form. There's been so many funny lines a second watch throws up a whole new batch!

Am I the only one that thought 2 black swans was hilarious?

Shes loves getting the paint out! Hilarious though.

pickarooney · 15-12-2010 2:15pm

I didn't find the two black swans, or any of the rest of the episode funny.
I'm beginning to think I've lost a part of my sense of humour; very little on TV makes me laugh these days. At least US TV.

seadnamac · 15-12-2010 2:25pm

Yea this show has gotten very stale, don't really look forward to watching it anymore.

FreudianSlippers · 21-01-2011 1:19pm

Some funny bits. "Make it 1997 again through science or magic" but overall a bit meh.

Anyone else think this show is getting a bit stale?

Yep, see post above yours. This whole season has been very poor and downright boring in my opinion. Also, the live episode was absolutely terrible.

Chloe Moretz to guest star

Great episode this week. Between the scenes on the plane and the mobile meth lab. Great stuff.

Aaron Sorkin is to make an appearance

youngblood · 19-02-2011 5:21pm

Nice episode, def losing its lustre though.
Anyone else pickin up on the trend of incidental Lost references lately????

Need to revisit some of what made season 2 and 3 comedy gold

Minstrel27 · 20-02-2011 4:07am

I never watched Lost. What referecnes do you refer to?

Töpher · 20-02-2011 11:45am

Have enjoyed the Lost references to be honest, here's a list.

seadnamac · 20-02-2011 12:34pm

Must say I'm enjoying this a lot more since the mid-season break, don't know if it's picked up or I just needed a break from it. I really hope they have the sense to finish it though when Baldwin leaves, he's the undoubted star of this show.

Our man in Havana · 20-02-2011 2:24pm

When is Baldwin leaving? The show will not be the same without him.

seadnamac · 20-02-2011 3:21pm

He has said he is retiring when his contract expires next year.

the whole year inn · 20-02-2011 8:00pm

How can it really go on without Baldwin?Guess if Baldwin is leaving Banks with be making an apperance.

Minstrel27 · 18-03-2011 1:32pm

What a waste of time this weeks episode was. Maybe it is because I despise the Angie character and 'reality' shows.

FreudianSlippers · 19-03-2011 1:29am

Yeah, wasn't great was it?

NedTermo · 21-03-2011 11:25am

I thought parts of it were pretty good, Jack's little intro piece for the show, 'Clumsy Gay Jack' or whatever it was.

And Liz 'I can explain this, I am asleep right now *wakes up". But overall yeah probably not the best.

Basq · 21-03-2011 11:38am

It was a 1 minute joke stretched to 22 minutes..

.. not great at all!

120_Minutes · 21-03-2011 4:18pm

they gotta do something while tracey is off getting a kidney transplant.

That doesn't mean thay have to focus on his horrible wife!

pleasant Co. · 25-03-2011 9:24pm

Someone was a bit of a show stealer this week, glad he's back!

Basq · 26-03-2011 12:25am

"I was stuck in a world of wet-wipes and rectal thermometers..

.. and then the babies came, and everything changed!"

After the horrid Queen of Jordan, this was much more like it.

120_Minutes · 26-03-2011 12:58am

Arnett is a fricken comedy genius.

Minstrel27 · 26-03-2011 1:36am

That was excellent. Gay Sportscenter made me lol

youngblood · 06-04-2011 8:58pm

Cant believe its not back for another week!!! gRrrrrr--dont get these odd breaks at all!

Hopefully they'll up the ante after this seasons mixed effort!
Delighted hes not leaving!

Our man in Havana · 24-04-2011 5:24pm

Ok the 100th ep special was woeful. Mostly clips from the previous 5 years.
It wasn't funny at all.

Also Starring LeVar Burton · 24-04-2011 5:30pm

Given up on this show - first 4 seasons were quality, but this season was beyond woeful. Think it had maybe 2 good episodes at most...
Thought the 100th episode would be a chance for the writers to prove that the show still had some life left in it, but unfortunately it proved the exact opposite was true...

Thought it was fantastic , wasnt very many flashbacks and the gas leak stuff was actually pretty good.

phasers · 25-04-2011 10:18am

Yep, wasn't impressed at all. Tom Hanks was the only funny bit.

Morgans · 25-04-2011 11:57am

Yeah. Its gone. One of the very best when at its height. Long enough stint I suppose.

seadnamac · 25-04-2011 6:17pm

Got to agree. Was a truly excellent show for the first four seasons but it's fallen off a cliff this year. Won't be watching next season.

Our man in Havana · 25-04-2011 6:18pm

Hopefully it will be the last season.

amacachi · 25-04-2011 6:24pm

Will admit it's gone way down but I never thought it was all that fantastic early on, very watchable but nothing much above that. Definitely should end soon.

KeanSeenan · 25-04-2011 9:57pm

I loathe clip shows('cept for you, Community), but got a good laugh out of this. He pulled it off pretty well.

Minstrel27 · 25-04-2011 10:02pm

I did wonder how many takes that would have taken.

Our man in Havana · 30-04-2011 6:49pm

Much better this week.

youngblood · 01-05-2011 1:08pm

Liz-bean-ism

The move along montage song

Good good

BopNiblets · 01-05-2011 4:42pm

"Invictus... who was the white guy in that again?"
Heh, I see what you did there Tina Fey.

Minstrel27 · 03-05-2011 1:42am

Great episode. That was a bizarre cameo appearance by Condoleezza Rice

youngblood · 06-05-2011 5:36pm

Where were the writers of this episode till now???

Grrr Great episode-Love Dr Spaceman!!

Basq · 07-05-2011 12:28am

2 words.. Hannibal Buress. He wrote this week's episode, and he's a VERY funny guy.

He's a big comedian in Chicago, is often on one of my favourite podcasts (RedBarRadio). He became a writer of SNL and then left for 30 Rock. He also had a recurring guest spot in a few episodes as a bum.

Here's hoping they give the guy more episodes next year.

Please god, isnt this what they used to be like??
Although the Kenneth thing was very odd

Basq · 07-05-2011 1:11am

It definitely had more of a spark this week, and it had some cracking lines (Dr Spaceman in the pre-credits particularly) and I'll take this bizarre image away from this week's show:

Actually, plenty of bizarre moments.. including the 'Lost' cliffhanger?!

Pretty terrible season overall.. I found myself watching episodes on TV in the background while on computer. Not a good sign for a comedy series!
