LESBIAN YELLOW SOUR FRUIT: I don't know how people can watch 30 Rock without a TiVo -- seriously, go back and watch all the scrolls during Sports Shouters (the 0-0 soccer scores, the KC Royals being left off the 2010 schedule, the Rick Pitino joke), then make sure you caught the deliberate continuity error in the opening, and then we can talk about just how much it makes a difference when the show returns to the Liz-Jack relationship which is at the core of the show. That, and Canadian football jokes.

As for The Office, it wasn't a great episode but I appreciate where this is going. Really: are there any other shows on tv which reflect contemporary economic concerns like The Office does (and always has)? It does make Modern Family -- which I love, mind you -- look like it's existing in Greater FairyLand by comparison. (That, and that Lily keeps disappearing.) The silliness got a little too silly, though I liked Oscar's attempts at a Southern accent (and Creed's reaction to it all, while predictable, was nonetheless great) and the standoff at the end is one of the better post-credits sequences they've had in a while. Also, and I can't believe I'm saying this -- is it time for more Nard Dog, less Schrute?
