NBC comedy recap: Scrubs, 30 Rock and The Office
I’ve come to firmly believe 30 Rock might be the funniest show on TV. I may say that every Friday morning, but lately when I watch it and The Office back-to-back, I find myself laughing a heck of a lot more during 30 Rock.
I’m just saying.
Scrubs and 30 Rock both had their season finales last night, and I’m sad to report that the big Scrubs‘ Princess Bride (My Princess was the official title) episode directed by Zach Braff was sort of a dud.
Perhaps a lot of the disappointment came from the 5 minutes it took to figure out why Dr. Kelso was back in charge and Elliot’s ex-boyfriend suddenly in the picture again.
Obviously the episode was filmed very early on and meant to be shown awhile ago, but I guess they figured “save the best for last.”
Although in this case, it just wasn’t that great…at least for me. The homage to The Princess Bride really felt more like just a regular fantasy than the cult classic.
30 Rock on the other hand was absolutely brilliant once more. The political humor in this episode with Jack Donaghy going to Homeland Security and meeting his co-worker (played by Matthew Broderick) was priceless. Nothing works, they have no pens, there are no leaks and everything is just fine.
Tina Fey got pregnant and then wasn’t pregnant, because the Mexican cheese curls she was eating had a special ingredient…
I think 30 Rock is also so good because I really love the soundtrack they have for the background music. It’s so different from other shows and really helps keep the show moving fluidly.
Over on The Office, Jim Halpert has been motivated after being put on probation by Ryan last week, so he’s out trying to make a sale on the golf course.
Why he would bring Andy and Kevin is beyond me:
While Michael, Pam, Daryl and Oscar are out at a high school job fair, the rest of the crew contemplates why they are still at the office.
This clip below gives us my favorite line of the week (from Creed as usual) and shows Dwight’s current position of authority in the company.
I really enjoyed the episode last week when everything happened AT THE OFFICE, instead of these very popular field trips lately. It was only a tiny break though as we visit a golf course and a high school last night.
Don’t get me wrong, those things are still funny, but I just really, REALLY love the ones that are simply stories around the office.
What did you think of Scrubs, 30 Rock or The Office last night? Favorite lines?
