Desperate Times for 30 Rock [30 Rock]
30 Rock is back tonight — you may not have noticed. Like most of the show's viewers, we're excited for the return of Tina Fey's ensemble comedy, but the deathwatch will be on in full force after tonight. NBC's continued emphasis on stunt casting (Oprah! Steve Martin! Jennifer Aniston!) already reeks of desperation. We're skeptical a not-so-famous guest star in every episode is going to broaden the show's appeal any more than Liz Lemon's quest for a child will. Is the best comedy on television destined

30 Rock: Season 3 Premiere, "Do-Over" Preview
The TV season began long ago, in the warmer days of September.  Yet, one of the most beloved and little-watched comedies on television has yet to grace us with its presence.  This changes tonight, when 30 Rock takes its rightful place on NBC's Thursday night line-up.  30 Rock returns to its 9:30pm time slot tonight, a spot that was taken over by the special prime-time editions of Saturday Night Live's Weekend Update for the past three weeks.  30 Rock star Tina Fey has become a national r

'30 Rock' ratings high: Should Tina Fey thank Sarah Palin?
Tina Fey may not want to continue playing Sarah Palin after next week, but her dead-on impressions of the Alaskan governor on "Saturday Night Live" led "30 Rock" to series-high ratings. The Season 3 premiere of the ratings-starved NBC comedy attracted 8.5 million million viewers and a 4.1 ratings in adults 18-49 -- a 21% increase in the demo from last year's second-season opener -- according to Nielsen. The episode, "Do-Over," also retained an impressive 87% of the 18-to-49-

IT’S OFFICIAL: Sarah Palins to Appear as Herself on SNL
“Not Tina Fey doing Sarah Palin doing ‘Saturday Night Live.’ But the Sarah Herself. She has already OK’d it. She’s booked. It’s confirmed. Done deal. Sketches are being sketched as we speak.

Sarah’s rehearsal time has already been penciled in for Friday the 24th. And it’s because she wants to do it,” rep

Tina Fey: Playing Palin 'Weirdest Thing That's Ever Happened To Me'
LOS ANGELES, Calif. -- As the star of "30 Rock" and former Weekend Update anchor and ex-head writer of "Saturday Night Live," Tina Fey has seen a lot -- but she told Access Hollywood's Billy Bush that the recent buzz over her "SNL" portrayal of vice-presidential candidate Sarah Palin tops it all. "The Sarah Palin thing is by far the weirdest thing that's ever happened to me, and I've been around some weird things," Tina told Billy. "You couldn't have predicted.

Tina Fey and Sarah Palin Lesbian Action Is What I Really Want To See
NBC’s parent company, General Electric, should send Senator John McCain flowers and a microwave oven. Tina Fey probably doesn’t do a credible Mitt Romney, but her impersonation of Gov. Sarah Palin is so deliciously dead-on that it has helped “Saturday Night Live” score its highest ratings in years. The popularity of those Palin parodies (mostly Ms. Fey quotes the Alaska governor verbatim) will surely give a boost to Ms. Fey’s other job. Her NBC comedy, “30 Rock,” returns on Thursday for its t

Remake Alert! ‘Dirty Rotten Scoundrels’
Why oh why does MGM want to remake this comedy classic that starred Michael Caine and Steve Martin? If you have not seen ‘Dirty Rotten Scoundrels’ yet it is a must watch. It is comedic genius. The film was directed by Frank Oz in 1988. of course that was a remake of a 1964 film called ‘Bedtime Story’ with Marlon Brando. The 80’s film was much better. But I seriously doubt Steve Pink the writer and director of ‘Accepted’ has got the comedic skills to make this movie.

30 Rock Rides Sarah Palin Wave To All-Time Ratings High [Happy Things]
Though we worried yesterday that 30 Rock was facing desperate times, we can stop worrying for at least another week! The Tina Fey dream ballet sitcom scored series high ratings last night, wrangling in 8.5 million viewers. That's up 20% from last season's premiere! The numbers were buoyed, we assume, by Fey's successful turns as VP nominee Sarah Palin on Saturday Night Live. Hopefully there will be another of those. And next week is the big Oprah Jones appearance, which ought to attract a small legion o
