Shout Out: NBC Thursday

Thursdays have typically been my favorite night of the week for television (Must See TV back in the day). For a while it was a little iffy but I'm back on board with NBC's full line-up. Here's why I loved television tonight:

My Name is Earl: John Waters' guest spot. Very cool and still creepy. :) His weird lifestyle funerals were great. I'm afraid that mine would be much like the guy's at the end. I'd be posed to sit on the couch with my laptop in my lap, watching tv and writing in my blog!

The Office: Dwight and Angela are the new power couple and doing a good job keeping it under wraps for the most part. Good team. Ed Helms is annoying the hell out of me but at least "Jam" got a chance to team up for a prank again because of him. I feel bad for the new girl but they are Jim and Pam are meant to be...eventually...hopefully. It's TV, so it has to work out. Otherwise it might as well be real life.

Scrubs: The Musical: I loved the singing! The fact that they worked "Drop the kids off at the pool" into the song "Everything Comes Down to Poo" was great. "Guy Love" was super cute and usually J.D. is my guy but Turk had me this episode. This episode could have been annoying or lame but they really pulled it off.

30 Rock: Alec Baldwin is awesome (and a Golden Globe winner!). Here is my favorite line from his character tonight: "I'm gonna be your bottom Kenneth, and you're gonna ride me as hard as you can." Fun episode. Brian Williams' dressing room was great, every time. Good for Liz getting a date with "The Hair" although of course something had to go wrong. Kissin' cousins...gross. :)

Tune in next week...you'll burn calories laughing.

Do NOT read any further until you've seen The Office from this week (January 4). I don't want to ruin it for you.

I was physically uncomfortable the minute Michael told Packer he was going to email the picture of he and Jan to him. I didn't know who the email would go to but I figured it would have to be going to the entire company, at least eventually.

It is a great episode and was actually very well done because it went unexpectedly after the predictable moment when Michael revealed he and Jan were in Jamaica together. From Jan's reaction to Pam's broken heart, The Office was the place to be this week. Bravo, writers.
