Final 30 rock post

Alright so this is the final 30 rock post for the class. Sadly there was no new episode to watch. Thankfully I have all of the episodes so I was able to watch some from the 3rd season. The one I just watched is an episode where Tracy Jordan goes on the Larry King show. This is a really good episode because there are 3 separate plot lines going on simultaneously. Tracy Jordan is predicting doomsday events and causing chaos on Larry King, Lemon is hunting down her cellphone that has been held for ransom with an "adult" picture of herself on it, and Jack is working out problems of his own trying to balance his sexy girlfriend Selma Hayek with a current economic downfall that GE is facing. This episode is very fast paced and frantic, and I really like how there are separate story lines going on. Some of the best parts of the episode were,
  • Tracy Jordan telling the entire Teen Wolf plot on Larry King and then giving financial crisis advice to the viewing audience and Peter Frampton
  • Lemon's phone has been taken hostage and contains an "adult" oriented picture of her on it
  • Selma Hayek is a decent guest appearance that has been in a few episodes now
  • Lemon has had more sex than Jack in 2009
  • Kenneth and Lemon go on a quest to find the phone and Kenneth gets tagged with graffiti
  • Lemon sings 99 red balloons for Kenneth telling him it is a German lullaby her grandmother sang
  • At the very end Johnathan, Jacks secretary, is caught on camera dancing around topless while playing the flute
There were also a few references to new years in this episode so I think it may have been aired right after they had come back from holiday hiatus. Really funny episode and I have really been enjoying going through and watching all of the episodes of the previous seasons. It has kept me very entertained during winter break. Sadly the quarter is about to begin and I once again have to find a new show to start watching. Cant wait for Trueblood season 3 in June! :)
