Wow, I totally agree with everything Parks-related up there, you've said it much better than I ever would've hoped to. It's just all so perfect.
I'll talk about 30 Rock, though.
It's funny but I also kind of hate it? I don't know why.
This pretty much sums up how I have been feeling about the show for the past two seasons, particularly this one. I mean, I laugh on one level, but on another level I am totally annoyed by the way they've been handling things on that show. Particularly Liz. They have been making her out to be pathetic in every way possible, and I feel as if it's becoming rather insulting. I mean, a lot of women can relate to and compare themselves to Liz Lemon -- I myself used to take some comfort in it in the beginning, because Liz used to seem just as real as the rest of us. But they've veered her off the deep end, and they make her out to be some sort of monster, and I feel as if it's alienating and insulting the women who used to identify with her. I kind of feel like it's a weird, backhanded attack.
But I may be reading into it too much. All I know is that the Liz is Disgusting and Pathetic angle is getting me all huffy this year. It's disappointing. But I still love Tracy and Jenna, and Kenneth, and Pete, and Toofer, and Jonathan and... Etcetera.
