Yesterday I did my fair share of bitching about the recent slew of stuntcasting news for 30 Rock's upcoming season, saying as a longtime fan I personally don't care to see an episode where Jennifer Aniston or Oprah Winfrey eats up significant screen time, but that I understand 30 Rock is in desperate need of ratings so I'll just suck it up for now. It's fair to say I owe them at least that much for all the hilarity they've given me. My resolve to give the show a break is wearing a little thin, however, with today's news that Gossip Girl's Leighton Meester and Blake Lively will be appearing in a November sweeps episode. Really? Now I have to endure those two as well? And more importantly, why those two over Chuck Bass?! He's hilarious! This begs the question -- how much worse is this going to get? Dear Tina Fey: I love you and your show very much, and while I understand desperate times call for desperate measures, I'd really appreciate it if you could do me a solid and not make me watch the following people try to be funny on 30 Rock: Britney Spears, Victoria Beckham, Lindsay Lohan, any American Idols, any of the remaining Friends, Tyra Banks, Mary-Kate Olsen, any of the VH1 Love people, or any other non-actor/non-comedian who happens to be in the tabloids a lot so naturally it is assumed they will bring in huuuuuge ratings, whether that is true or not. Sincerely, Stuntcasting Hater.
