A couple of months and a rewatch has really helped a lot of the first half of Season 3, which I wasn't nuts about to start with, but has grown a little bit on me.

You know, it means there's an excuse to interview David Cohen about it again, so I'm okay with waiting for him to divulge the mystery.

You're going to be conflicted by Whose Line is it Anyway this Tuesday with special guest star Jeff Davis.

According to Colin's Reddit AMA, only 1 hoedown in the entire season, and no Irish Drinking Song.

THERE'S SO MUCH CRIME IN THE DESERT.

There's a couple of new 4th chairs. I'm pretty certain Jeff Davis is the only returning 4th chair.

Is no one going to talk about how Mackenzie taking Will's money is basically a recreation of the same scene in the opening sequence of The Jetsons?

AV Club Classic, please.

It was interesting to hear a couple months back that auditioned for Abed.

This show needs to learn how to just let it's characters hang out for a while.

Carell showing up for those two lines and just fucking NAILING it really bought the whole thing a lot more goodwill than it probably deserved. Man, he's so good at that character, even through gray hair and a tan.

There's a lot of Michael Scott in the main character. I liked the show, but man, did I ever notice it.

Makes sense that Edward Norton came back, according to a commentary, he was one of their most game guests last time he was on the show.

When did Pete Wentz turn into Fat Mac?

I must say, though I had to stop this episode the second Peter became part of a terrorist cell for being too obvious… I really appreciated the show taking down the hookah fad a peg.

This was a pretty funny, if not exactly thematically solid episode.

Sorry, just found out via Twitter this is not the case.

I thought there were some things off with this episode, especially the use of cutaways which were almost jarring to me. But I liked a lot of it, and I liked how straight they seemed to be willing to play it with Roger leaving, even though everyone knew they'd find a way to get rid of Jeff instead.

I gotta' say, you have to applaud Ed Helms for just fucking throwing himself through a brick wall whatever half-assed ideas the writers have had for Andy each season. I hope Helms comes back to TV after a few years as a mid-level movie star. I always felt that they had in him an actor who really ought to be on The…

The problem, of course, is that The Office was a hit, and 30 Rock was decidedly NOT a hit. Hits go out when they stop making money, that 30 Rock made it as long as it did is a minor miracle and a testament to how pathetic NBC was and still is.
