TV Updates: A Gif Story

It's time to talk about all the exciting fall schedule news, brought to you by the fully renewed Happy Endings.

Community got picked up...

But is moving to Fridays.

30 Rock got renewed, for what may or may not be it's final season.  And only for 13 episodes.

Modern Family & Revenge obviously got full seasons.

Glee is moving to Thursday nights in attempt to kill The Office, 30 Rock, & Up All Night.

Mindy Kaling's show got picked up and is going to go after New Girl for a girly comedy block.

SVU is getting it's 14th season, but is moving to the 9 pm time slot (which means everything will have to be a wee bit toned down).

Another cycle of The Voice is happening, with new judges.  Because why not kill a good thing.

Whitney got renewed.  For a full 22 episodes.

Don't Trust the B in Apartment 23 got a full season, which means 22 episodes of Beek in the Creek.

And don't forget that Chris Meloni will be on True Blood.

Overall, all the shows I watch and love got picked up so this is pretty much me:

There's lots of exciting new shows coming out so I can't wait!  NBC is doing pretty much all comedy so I think we'll have a good time.  PLUS I just really need to express how happy I am about Happy Endings.  Like really.

Fin.

Ok. Let's Discuss 30 Rock Live. Because I Went.

So last night, in case you missed my posts, tweets, check-ins, and excited ramblings, I went to go see 30 Rock's live episode, from here on out know as: THAT TIME I WAS IN THE SAME ROOM AS JON HAMM.

I'm not even going to pretend to give you an unbiased look at the quality of the episode, because it's real hard to have been that close to Tina Fey and then give an objective opinion (SUCH a professional I am).

Everyone in the cast seemed so nice & excited to be there.  There was just a happy energy PLUS we sat behind Stephen Baldwin so I could pretend that Alec Baldwin was really looking up to talk to me.

I'm also choosing to believe that Donald Glover and I locked eyes and sometime soon we're going to be great friends.  Yup.

Cheyenne Jackson warmed up the crowd by singing "Signed, Sealed, Delivered," and at that point I fell in love.  He looks a MILLION times better in real life and I'm pretty sure Stephen Baldwin thought I was having a stroke because my mouth was open for a solid three minutes.  Also, Cheyenne Jackson looks extremely attractive on TV so just let that simmer.

I hope you enjoyed the episode because I laughed my ass off.  I need them to do this again next week so Donald Glover and I can take the next steps to getting to know each other.  Make it happen, Tina Fey.

Tonight I'm Going to the Live Episode of 30 Rock

My friend Brian really likes to hook me up with the celebs.  He made me famous AND got Urkel to fall in love with me.  Now he got me tickets to see tonight's live episode of 30 Rock.  I CANNOT explain to you how excited I am for this.  CAN. NOT. I've seen every episode at least 15 times (I would be exaggerating, but I have that whole can't-sleep-at-night-Netflix-addiction thing going on).  Kate is coming with me and we couldn't be more excited.  While I can even let myself think about seeing Tina Fey in person (yup, read Bossypants three times), I WILL let my imagination wander to who the guest stars will be.  Last time they had Julia Louis-Dreyfus, Jon Hamm (!), Matt Damon, and prob others I'm forgetting.  Sooo read the list I'm thinking/hoping they'll have this time after the jump.

Super Bowl-ness!

Before the big game, NBC had a commercial to promote their shows, and it was pretty fantastic.

I'm essentially posting this for the Mariska solo.  Who knew SVU was musical?  Enjoy :)

Bonus Jonas: Jimmy Fallon's opening musical special "Please Don't Go To Sleep" set to "Rolling in the Deep."

30 Rock: Today You Are A Man

Liz's contract is up & it's time to renegotiate.  JACK OFF!  Read the episode highlights after the jump.

A Passionate Surprise

Yesterday I came across this gem, a fun animated 30 Rock webisode in which Jack searches for a new Super Bowl act using past NBC theme songs.  I watched happily, unsuspecting of the greatness that was about to be bestowed on to me.  I was filled with glee when Michael McDonald did his rendition of the Saved by the Bell theme song.  BUT. THEN. out of no where Ryan Adam's sings the Passions' theme song.

I loved Passions.  LOVVVEEDDD.  If you don't know what it is, I'm not even going to bother explaining it to you because you won't understand.  But here's the cliff notes.  It was a PHENOMENAL soap on NBC that I would schedule my classes around and has since been tragically canceled.

So for all of you who are still in mourning (obv like me) here is the entire Passions' theme song, complete with photo montage.

30 Rock Spoofs RHONY

Last night's guest star Denise Richards was able to poke a little fun (or pay homage to) the Countess Luann with this chic music video.

Just when I thought 30 Rock couldn't get any better.  Look out for this week's recap(s) coming soon.

For the original masterpiece, read on.

30 Rock: Idiots are People Two!

Yay!  We get underwhelmingly introduced to Liz Lemon's mystery boyfriend.  And it's James Marsden! (we already knew that.)  Tina Fey also deals with the real-life Tracey Morgan situation.  Read the episode highlights after the jump.

The Golden Globes (zzzzzzzzzzzzz)

The only picture that matters.

Whew.  That was a fun night right? Oy.  Poor Ricky Gervais was so held back that he was making hard-hitting Kardashian marriage jokes.  And all the celebs who came out swinging against him just looked sad.  The really only good jab of the night was when Clooney walked out with Brad Pitt's cane.

E! did this weird thing where they had people send video messages from their phone while they were getting ready.  A little toooooo personal for my liking.  I don't need to see you in your shower.

But.  Hands down, this was the best part of the night:

30 Rock: Dance Like Nobody's Watching

AHHHHH!!!

WHO IS LIZ LEMON DATING????

Oops. **Spoiler**

This week we finallyyyyyyyyyyyyy saw the return of 30 Rock and shockingly did not get a continued episode of the To Be Continued finale (Kenneth was not preparing his friends for Jacob....or was he?).  Something was up with Liz and everyone was determined to figure it out.  Read the episode highlights after the jump.

Greatest. Ad. Ever.

The cast of 30 Rock has been all over the place promoting the start of the new season (FINALLY).  But nothing, NOTHING, has come close to this ad I came across while I perusing the interwebs:

There is so. much. yes.  about this picture.  Also.  Is the hashtag spelt wrong?  Or am I being totally uncool and not getting something? I have a special hump day treat after the jump.

Tina Fey & Words With Friends

Tina Fey was on The Late Show last night and talked about Alec Baldwin's airplane episode.  Apparently he snubbed her.




But exciting news!  He's on for another season.
