Let the Christmas Episodes Begin!
So 30 Rock tonight took the path of many other TV shows and had its Christmas episode. I never was fond of the Xmas episodes of shows because I felt they were just a week off from what really goes on in the show and are just a not as impressive show. I laughed a few times but was not all that impressed. I found the parts with the whole "getting sarcasm" parts humorous but that was about it. I'm trying to not let this effect my judgement on the show since it is the pretty much mandatory holiday episode and I know it will be different next time. Holiday episodes to me are "lets just make everyone happy" episodes. I can see why because who wants to see a sad show around the holiday season. Instead I propose some story arc or just leave out a Christmas episode if possible, they don't bring anything new to the table. The other part that got old fast was the poking fun at Facebook. For some reason I just haven't got adjusted to people talking about social networking and texting in TV shows and movies, so to here it made fun of to a point beyond funny gets old really fast in my book. Like I said I wait to see what happens next time but I'm hoping for something better.

Yea it was just an okay episode and I never really looked at it that way with the Xmas episodes. What did they say, UFace or something. Also the finger me back was a little wierd....I might be saying it wrong and I am very sorry cause it sounds terrible but yea I was not a big fan of this episode either.
ReplyDeleteXmas episodes have become big ratings boosts, that's why they're so common now (*whisper*: on dying network TV). I think, for me, this episode came at least a week too early; it's like, "I'm not ready for a Christmas episode yet!" And the stuff with Facebook: I'm wondering if that will manage to retain its topical humor over the years, or become a "Hunh?" line for viewers. I'm finding Seinfeld going about half and half in reruns.
