“’30 Rock’ and ‘The Office’”

I don’t think those shows are bad. They don’t deserve to be hits, either. And certainly there is no justification for NBC to build their marquee night around them. But that’s probably why NBC is in last place.

As for the Emmys, this happens to be a horrible time for the sit-com. What “30 Rock”’s competition? “Two and a Half Men”? Blah. “Scrubs”? Used to be good, is now stale. “Entourage” is okay.

First, I’m on analogue (antenna) so “Entourage” is an unknown to me.

That said, 2.5 Men, as a cultural send-up, still makes me chuckle. The Office and 30 Rock are just, plain, not funny.

Well, okay, I can give Tracy McGrady some props for his (all too small) bits. He, of all the Hollyweird mooks on that show, has a decent understanding of the idiocy in the current culture.
