I don't care that it's been over for 3 years, this show is brilliant. I'm rewatching the entire series and cannot stop laughing. Like Arrested Development, this show ages spectacularly. "Hugging...so ethnic."
Every time I watch episodes revolving around the Romney / Obama election, I really wish the show had continued throughout the current one. There is so much they could have done.
Did they do more than one live episode? I'm rewatching a few eps before bed each night and I just made it to the (first?) live episode, which I loved. Dr. Leo Spaceman is my favorite bit character of any series, ever.
30 Rock is #1 on my list of comedies I've started but never finished it. Moving on to it pretty soon I think, enjoyed the handful of episodes I saw
I was trying to pick a favorite quote from the show but it's so hard. What are some of your favorite quotes?
"Stop eating people's old French fries, pigeon! Have some self respect! Don't you know you can fly?" - Tracy "Boy, it's crazy to think we used to settle questions of paternity by dunking a woman in water until she admitted she made it all up. Different time, the '60s." - Dr. Spaceman "The Kid's Choice Awards? Fine, I'll set aside my feud with Raven-Symoné for one day, but she knows what she did." - Jenna "If I have learned anything from my SIMS family: When a child doesn't see his father enough he starts to jump up and down, then his mood level will drop until he pees himself." - Liz "I'm sorry I'm a real woman and not some oversexed New York nympho like those sluts on Everybody Loves Raymond" – Liz
Jack: Cooter! Cooter: That's not my name. My name is James Riley. Cooter Burger? What do you think I am, a cartoon dog? The president named me that! Jack: He gave you two nicknames? Cooter: "Cooter" because I look like a turtle, and "Burger" because he saw me eating a hamburger one time! We have to get out of here. Jack: Now that's the spirit. But if they're not taking resignations, there's only one way out: we have to work together to get fired. Cooter: It wasn't even a hamburger... it was a sandwich. Wesley: This is meant to be. We’re like Russ and Rebecca on Chums.
I could quote like a million of my favorite lines from 30 Rock. It's just an endless stream of amazing jokes. A couple of favorites that came to mind... Jack: "Michael Kors is a friend...we own a gay racehorse together" Jack: "A smug 40 year old bridesmaid. What a treat for everyone." Jack: "In order to save this network, I have to destroy it. Just like BP did when they heroically tried to lubricate the Gulf of Mexico." Tracy: "A puppy committed suicide after he saw our bathroom!" Tracy: (in reference to the National Anthem) "Who'd have ever known there was so many words, it was like a Mos Def CD"
Hahahaha that reminds of that episode with Steve Austin (John Slattery). "Americans are a simple but powerful people, which is why I have written a new national anthem: 'Ooga booga big, ooga booga strong, I'm gonna sing my ooga booga song'" Btw for anyone wondering, yes I am going to make every second post in this thread for this point on.
Liz: "You named your son Black Dennis? That's racist"" Dennis: "Yeah right, Liz. The guy with a black son is racist"
This show was incredible. Really glad I finally spent last summer watching it for the first time. Was one of the best shows to have an experience binge watching like that.
In the finale of season 1 I always die laughing when Kenneth salutes Tracy and voluntarily falls backwards down the flight of stairs so they can take an ambulance and make it back to the show on time.
I don't think this http://www.vulture.com/2016/04/unbreakable-kimmy-schmidt-30-rock-references.html is comprehensive, but it certainly has a ton of the references from each show.
Watching Kimmy Schmidt REALLY makes me want to do a rewatch of 30 Rock. One of the best shows... ever.
