30 Rock Season 3 Premiere: Do-Over - Watch now
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Prime Time, NBC, Internet,
We’re big fans of this whole Internet thing, and we think it’s gonna continue to change the face of television in the next 12 months. Case in point, the ginormous Hulu, which many critics said would fail before it was even in beta. Of course, now, Hulu has proved itself an enormous success, celebrating its one-year anniversary just yesterday.
So, why the Hulu love today? Well, it just so happens that last week, they posted the Season Premiere of 30 Rock. However, that show, subtitled “Do-Over,” isn’t premiering on television until this evening. So, if you used Hulu, you would have had the opportunity to see the entire show, with limited interruption, a week early. Of course, if you prefer your TV in high definition, then you would have have to tune in tonight for that luxury. We’ve embedded 30 Rock: Do Over above - enjoy!

The 60th Primetime Emmy Awards
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Award Shows, Comedy, Drama, Prime Time, ABC, Cable, FX, HBO, Entourage, Editorial, Features,
Even though the previous television season was marred by the annoying writers’ strike, I find myself really excited for the 60th Primetime Emmy Awards. Not only will this ceremony give us a chance to start anew, it’ll be the academy’s chance to celebrate what’s new.
Tonight, two basic cable shows (Damages, Mad Men) will get a chance to win for Outstanding Drama Series. (That would be an Emmy first.) Meanwhile, nominees in several categories will have an opportunity to compete in a Sopranos-less environment. An added bonus? A new category. This year, reality show hosts will finally be acknowledged for their programming contributions as well.
So who won? Who lost? Who ran up and grabbed the award even though they didn’t win? Read our West Coast play-by-play account of this evening’s telecast and find out!

30 Rock Seeking Two Gossip Girls
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Comedy, Prime Time, NBC, Gossip,
I believe 30 Rock is now just one guest star away from actually being Saturday Night Live.
In the past week, the series about a fictional sketch comedy show has had a list of names attached to it. First there was the news about Jennifer Aniston’s appearance, then there was buzz about an actual Oprah cameo. Now there’s gossip about Gossip.
It’s being reported that the writer/star of Mean Girls could be tapping into her own mean girl persona. And who better to help Tina Fey with this sweeps stunt than Gossip Girl‘s own Leighton Meester and Blake Lively?

Jennifer Aniston to Guest on 30 Rock
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Comedy, Prime Time, NBC, News,
Well, it’s not exactly Friends, but it is still Must See TV.
According to E!, Jennifer Aniston has found a way to keep herself busy post-Mayer. The actress will soon be returning to NBC Thursdays with a guest spot on 30 Rock.
Jennifer is now the the second Friend-ly cast member to visit the Emmy-winning comedy. David Schwimmer played an eco-mascot last season during the network’s Green Week.
The role - which Aniston is currently filming - will most likely be seen in the show’s first few weeks.
Season 3 of 30 Rock premieres on Oct. 30.
