What I'm Watching: 30 Rock

30 Rock: Season 3, Episode 2 "Believe in the Stars" (B)

I do love this show, but when it's a bit too uncontrollably wacky, I hesitate a bit. The fake Oprah bit was sort of cool, but it's the unfocused nature of Liz's hallucinogenic state that's just peculiar. The setup was pretty great, with Jack insisting on Liz taking pills and her sharing her strategy for getting out of jury duty. Tracy and Jenna are both crazy characters, and I think putting them together just makes for too much chaos. The funniest part of this episode was most certainly the fake Olympic games, which are devastatingly hilarious. The essence of Kenneth's character is also wonderfully underlined here with the cable bit.
