The Office wasn't on last night, replaced by a second new episode of 30 Rock. That was nice! Sometimes you have to be away from something for a little while to understand how much you appreciate it, but that wasn't really the case here! Mostly because the first episode of 30 Rock -- the continuation of the Tracy Morgan gay rights/idiot rights two-parter -- wasn't great. I didn't really like that plot line. If they were a little tougher with the issue it would've made the whole thing funnier and more worthwhile, but, as I said last week, why bother bringing it up at all if you're going to treat it so lightly? Huh? HUH, TINA FEY? (I almost liked the Kelsey Grammar plot line, but mostly I didn't even like that.) (Very hard to please.) The second episode of 30 Rock was enjoyable, though! The MLK day movie trailer was perfect, no duh. "Got MLK" was a wonderful tagline choice. And, you know, Will Arnett. And the red paint splash. And bathroom Tina Fey friend. And the ending. And the smiles. And the laughs. ALL GREAT! Good ep. Speaking of good eps, that Parks and Recreation ep was great! Ugh, I'm so happy that show exists and is a great show. Aziz was my #1 character last night, with the Drive jacket, and the bowling, and the "me and you -- hurt fingies!" Very good job. Leslie and Adam Scott are the best couple in the history of TV couples I can remember at this moment. And, once again, I like it when April does things that are human. I can certainly see why one wouldn't like a show like Parks and Recreation, because some people don't even have hearts at all?, but I have to tell those people that you are wrong and maybe you should give growing a heart a chance. It makes it easier to live! WHAT'D YOU GUYS THINK?
