‘I haven’t seen such a unanimously negative response since the Fraiser spin off Hey Roz’ – Jack (30 Rock)


The opening of season 6 and true to its usual witty self 30 rock opens with a satire to Americas got talent, this hilarious opening that has a dig at the state of television was a great way to kick off another season of the show. This particular episode has several story lines, my favourite of which revolves around Kenneth- I mean lets face it who doesn’t enjoy a good Kenneth story line! He believes that the end of the world is coming- my favourite part of this story line is when Kenneth tells everyone which type of heaven and hell they will be going too. This episode also see’s Jack become weak when he see’s Jenna shout at a little girl called Liddy, in her role as panel judge. Jack forces Jenna to be nice, and that’s where this piece title comes from inevitably the ratings drop and Jack realises his mistake. I particularly enjoy the way 30 Rock makes comments and digs at all networks (including NBC) and other shows, and this particular episode is full of it. A great way to start the new season and a particularly funny episode- watch out for the costumes- particularly Kenneth’s apocalypse number and Liz’s Christmas sweater!

'Blame Canada' - South Park


For those of you who don’t know me I have left England and boarded a 10 hour flight to Calgary, just outside Calgary is a small (and I mean small) village called Kananaskis…this will be my home for the next 6 months. Due to this I will have very limited access to television therefore, as no doubt you can already see; my blog will become slightly lax. However I do intend to pick it up when I get back home, but during this interim I will write about the series which I have brought with me, so be prepared for old reviews of Modern Family, 30 Rock, Summer Heights High and White Collar, as well as the 1st season of Grimm- which I am attempting to make my way through now. All I can say is stick with me and eventually I will get back to writing and posting as much as I can! Thanks for reading and enjoy!
