This 30 Rock Webisode Is Better Than Most Things On Actual TV

It’s a fact of life that NBC has the best sitcoms currently airing on network TV (If you disagree with that fact, you might as well stop reading this post now. Here are some wacky Two and a Half Men bloopers to watch instead). Unfortunately, those sitcoms are stuck on the absolute ratings sink hole that is NBC. So, unfortunately, brilliant shows like Community get taken off the air and 30 Rock is stuck hitting an all time rating low.

Fortunately, we don’t cover sitcom ratings here at Mediaite so I can pretend to live in a fantasy world where people on the street walk around with Parks and Recreation merchandise instead of the sad world I live in where I literally see people everywhere wearing…sigh…“Bazinga” shirts. So, to continue to fuel my fantasy, I’m going to pretend that there are people out there who are really excited to watch this hilarious 30 Rock webisode!

Hooray, delusion!

Anyway, these webisodes, which star Alec Baldwin’s Jack Donaghy character, have featured some great guest stars in the past, but this one takes the cake. I don’t want to ruin any surprises, but I will say that it includes a cameo from Donald Glover (who, trivia fans, used to write for 30 Rock) and features Michael McDonald covering the Saved by the Bell theme. That moment alone is better than 90% of TV.

Enjoy the video from sad, sad, sad NBC below and try to remain in fantasy world for a few minutes longer:

I totally agree about the NBC Sitcoms but to be fair “Big Bang Theory” is actually a decent show. You should actually give it a chance (and get over the ‘laugh track’ snobbism which I think is the main reason there is a backlash against the show). But ‘Two and Half Men” is simply terrible.

Or you might as well tune into NBC and watch WHITNEY or ARE YOU THERE, CHELSEA?, so you can experience the awe-inspiring feeling of having your ears assaulted and blood dripping from your eyes, after which you can look forward to an even greater time hurling your guts out and kissing the Porcelain Goddess. Because, yeah, they’re THAT good!

Community… heartbreak… such heartbreak. Mitt Romney was the Kathy Geiss of Bain.

Failed to showcase Childish’s talents adequately.

Hey, Jon never said that they didn’t have the worst sitcoms currently airing on network TV as well, which obviously they do, as you pointed out.

I’ve been a ‘Big Bang Theory’ fan for years but as the seasons have rolled by Chuck Lorre and his writers seem to have lost the ability to find new nerd humor and have succumbed to writing sex jokes to get laughs, rendering the show less “Big Bang Theory” and more “Two and a Half Nerds.”

I love musicals so much! Flossing my teeth at 5:16 in the morning and what a Lucky Monkey!

I love it when I go to make a comment and someone has already made it for me. It helps my wavering faith in humanity.

Big Bang haters (and 30 Rock lovers) will appreciate THIS, I think
