30 rock -- wtf?

i really like the show. but was that ending what i thought it was? a fireworks display in such bad taste that the mayor called to stop it -- because it was such a 9/11 reminder?

or have i had one too many heinekens tonight?

 

It was very wrong and very funny.

 

it didn't sit well with me. and i'm pretty hard to offend.

 

oh, the cowboy hat

 

I laughed a great deal, but I am evil.

 

I thought it was hilarious. It takes real balls to do that, and to have a side plot that relies on a young page as "gay bait."

 

I think it was designed to highlight the absurdity that anyone would launch fireworks in midtown Manhattan without any advance notice, or without securing permits.

A <i>three hour</i> fireworks show?

Only arrogant, self-absorbed, totally insensitive network TV suits would authorize that without even contemplating the possible real-life repercussions.

 

Had they just shown the cowboy hat, any sense of being offended would have been blown away by pure hilarity!

 

The episode was awesome. I definitely rank this show.

 

One nitpick...I was watching The Office, and they had a commercial for 30 Rock. It had Fey's character, with words written across the screen: "Professionally gifted" and "Romantically challenged."

Only it said ROMATICALLY. Big and in all caps, I think. Kills me. Does no one LOOK at these things before they air??

 

guess i'm still sensitive about anything that seems to make light of 9/11. 35 folks from my town perished. sorry.

 

Obviously, your point of view is respected.
