Cat Anus

Week in and week out 30 Rock is one of the funniest shows on television. This month Tina Fey is on the cover of Vanity Fair and her impression of Sarah Palin was the talk of the political world. All eyes should be on 30 Rock right now. That is generally when good shows become disappointing and middling. Fey is too good a writer to let her baby fall apart and this week’s episode proves it.

This episode has Liz returning to her high school reunion. Its an old sitcom trick. To make it fresh Liz the lonely nerd discovers that her classmates always thought of her as a bully. After Don Geiss wakes up from his coma, Jack thinks he’s about to become the new CEO but finds that Geiss is holding on to power with his cold nearly dead hand.

Tracy is jealous that Kenneth is getting more laughs on the elevator than him. Stupidly threatened, Tracy brings Jenna into it and the two of their egos become obsessed. Their undeserved egos are so swollen that they make Kenneth cry with guilt. Its a great take on celebrity.

Out of depression, Jack comes with Liz to her reunion posing as a classmate and mingles with more success than Liz. Her former classmates attempt to pull a “Carrie” moment on her for revenge, Jack steps in and gives a speech that is so over the top that it just has to end in disaster.

Its another great one from Fey and company. Its impressive how over the last 4 years she’s gone from being “the girl on weekend update” to a sitcom star and cover girl. Its well deserved and welcome.
