If the rest of Season 6 of 30 Rock is as enjoyable as last night's premiere, then we are in for a good haul. "Dance Like Nobody's Watching" wasn't jam-packed with jokes, but it was fun to watch, got nice and weird for a few minutes and ended on an actual sweet and hopeful note. It's not what I usually expect from 30 Rock, but given how repetitive the show was getting, I'm open to the change. And as every successful episode of this show does, we picked up a lot of helpful advice that'll get us through 'til the next episode. Things like...
-Not sure how to pick a good gynecologist? Keep an eye out for a Doogie Howser type, but younger.
-In Kenneth's religion (Eighth Day Resurrected Covenant of the Holy Trinity), when you die, in Heaven you get 72 virgin margaritas, salt optional.
-Meanwhile, Black Heaven has a jukebox, and Women's Hell is the same place as Aroused Dog Heaven.
-Tampon boxes are an easy go-to for inspirational advice.
-Torso fabric is completely redundant, in case you didn't already know. (Also, Liz Lemon is now up $1,000, I believe.)
-The People crossword puzzle is a bit more difficult in the 30 Rock universe than it is in real life.
-Googling Jenna Maroney will no longer immediately inundate you with news stories about that time she electrocuted all those horses.
-Despite how great they sound in theory, Cash Cow and Frasier spin-off Hey Roz make for terrible TV.
-Betty White only pretends to be nice.
-Variety doesn't throw the world "boffo" around lightly.
-At Madison Square Garden, the Liberty Torch card gets you 10 percent off of snacks!
-When sung by a child, "Camptown Races" can potentially make for an impossibly heartwarming accompaniment to an unexpectedly sweet closing scene. And it's free of royalties!

Rachel, I think you mean 'accept', not 'except'. It reminds me of having to hear people misuse the adjective 'literally'. Or the overusage of 'amazing'. Ugh.
Actually, you're both wrong. She meant 'expect', not 'accept' nor 'except'. But I'm glad you could feel so self-righteous for calling out a typo!
ok, that was different 30 Rock but i like it. Funny but also..quite touching
Liz: You think the world is really going to end?
Kenneth: I'll leave the thinking to other religions.
Amazing. That is literally the most acceptional thing I've ever read.
Thanks for writing such an easy-to-understand arictle on this topic.
