    Even though the "zero performance experience" might not have been true in Tina's case, she's still kind of not that great of an actress. Writer, sure! I'm sure most people disagree, but I don't find her engaging onscreen at all. Her eyes are completely blank and her lines, while mostly funny, always seem a little flat in their delivery. At least she seems to be sharing more screen time with the other actors as the show progresses. Personally, I'm waiting for The Alec Baldwin Show, Starring Tracy Morgan.

    @PamBeesley: I was thinking the same thing. I think both Tina and Jerry aren't necessarily good actors (and are mostly playing themselves), but there's something about both performances that bring a lot to their shows.

    Another week, another bland insidery episode. Can this season get back to not-sucking now?

    @TableNein: Not sure how it was that insidery that you couldn't laugh at it. There were enough general subject matter jokes to make it work. Funnier than the "Parks" and "Office" episode that preceded it. Although the "Office" had a great cringe/laugh think going with the "Scott's Tots". Kind of amazed they were able to milk some humor out of kids getting cheated out of a college education.

    @A Message To Rudy: There were some amusing moments, sure. But the overall quality of this season has been lacking. The unpredictability and wit of earlier years is gone and now it feels phoned in. Frank's caricature of Liz Lemon is on par with Liz Lemon's caricature of Liz Lemon. Oh look, ham!

    @A Message To Rudy:
    Parks and Rec has totally won me over, beginning with Amy Poehler ruling the Pawnee gay bar. The first season was the biggest disappointment of that TV year, but it's now a solidly amusing little show. The boss guy is always spot on, like with the breakfast buffet bit. And I really laughed when the overweight guy says he's always wanted Aziz Ansari's bod. Hm, maybe I just enjoy humor about men struggling with their weight.

    Network programmers, that's the way they do it
    Wasted an hour on the NBC;
    Leno ain't working, they know that they blew it
    So they got Bublé for nothing,
    and their "Chuck" for free.

    FYI, I live in toronto and Bllomberg has been doing promotional spots for the local all-news radio station that uses Bloomberg news, in which he identifies himself only as 'founder of Bloomberg.'

    I guess now that he has his third term, he's back to working with the company that he (allegedly) cut his ties with in his first and second terms?

    Wasn't Shakira involved with this?

    Why is she always fucking involved? She's frightening, as The Lollipop Guild from The Wizard of Oz is frightening, with their jerky, strange welcome dance and dwarflike stature and off-putting, throaty voices.
