Mmm.. I've seen this in other msg boards too.  I don't get it either but I fully admit I don't watch every single minute of TC because I tend to forward a lot.  I don't particularly care for Padma as host because of the way she talks but I don't see where the Padma-can-only-be-the-pretty-one comments come from.   I'm…

I remember her annoying laugh and not memorable as a chef. That's why I'm surprised she returned.  There were so many previous contestants that I'd rather see again.

Didn't he say he's like Stefan, in that they are both kind of lovable assholes.  Self-delusion much :-)

Wow! CJ is dead to me.

Duh-duy!  *facepalm*

Are we going to see this storyline in future Louie episodes?

Would you rather be a Schmo and pretty much guaranteed to win the grand prize or be a 'legit' contestant and have to really compete for it?

Hey Ray Ray!!

Anytime Alec Baldwin does another character or just does an impression, is a winner - generalissimo, Thomas Jefferson, Tracy Jordan… what else

Yup. And that's good enough. To me, 30 Rock has a nice balance of 'real' and 'cartoony' characters but sometimes the real characters act like cartoons and vice versa. I think one problem I have with BBT is most of the main characters feel like cartoons most of the time

Sure hope comedy writers aren't thinking about what joke will age well when they are writing.

Everyone knows it's the one where Fonzie jumps over the shark on his water ski.

Tracy Does Conan was the episode that made me realize 30 Rock is special. LOL it took me that long. 

I thought there were many funny articles in Maxim magazines based on the few I've read.

Jim Jeffries is Seth McFarlane clone? I've heard Jeffries' stand up and when he's a guest on the radio. I think they are very different.

This reminded me of the viral soundbite (grandfather of viral video?) where Barney the kid's purple dinosaur goes '… I love you.. You love me… ' then machine gun sounds :)

I remember this and A Taxing Woman very fondly. But A Taxing Woman Returns is not as good, right? Am I remembering that wrong?

Fox News: Scaring old white people and helping destroy the Republican party since 1996.

I'm no Guy Fieri but fresh whipped cream is really quick and easy to make and is far far far superior.

So they believe the 99 % (or 47%, which is it?) all have cartoon hate for the rich.  They misunderstand that just like they misunderstand Downton.  As usual, their cluelessness is amusing if it didn't actually hurt people sometimes.
