POISON SCOOTER

Twenty Good Years and 30 Rock

I just saw the preview for this new NBC sitcom and am surprised that I hadn't heard anything about it before, even though the extent of my exposure to new sitcoms is the Entertainment Weekly back issues next to Scooter's toilet. John Lithgow and one of my favorite actors, Jeffery Tambor (George Bluth Sr. of Arrested Development fame) are the headliners of the show. They are both old friends who decide that they need to live every day like their last, because they probably only have about "20 good years" left to live. The trailer for this movie looks hilarious. The one that I saw had the actors commenting on each other and John Lithgow said that "you just laugh when you look at the guy" when describing Jeffery Tambor. He's right, though. Tambor can turn his mouth a centimeter and make you pee yourself. It will be airing on Wednesdays at 8:00 PM and will be followed by another show that I am excited to see, 30 Rock.

Tina Fey created 30 Rock, and sadly left SNL on July 21st to focus on her new project. Alec Baldwin managed to work his way onto the show, and where there's a Baldwin, there's a hit, right? The show takes a look at the behind-the-scenes action of a sketch comedy show. There are a few Chicago Improv actors thrown in the mix and I'm hoping it will be hilarious. Everyone definitely needs a laugh or two on the most horrible day of the week and this hour should help us get over that hump.
