30 Rock sucked last night

I want to apologize to everyone I've ever told to watch 30 Rock. If you watched last night's episode because of my urgings, I'm sincerely sorry.

It blew.

It wasn't nearly as funny as usual (except the part where the new CEO had the Hot Wheels car in her mouth), a lot of the jokes used sex as a crutch instead of being genuinely funny and the ending was atrocious: it felt like they ran out of time and what they squeezed in didn't make any sense.

I didn't even save it on our TiVo.

Please don't think less of me world. I swear the show isn't normally like that! It's usually funny and subtly hilarious and witty. I know I've passionately extolled the show in the past (numerous times on Twitter) but...but...I'm sorry.

Does this seem harsh? Perhaps. But when you tell people you love something and then they check it out and it turns out to be a steaming bag of poo, people may think you like steaming bags of poo. So let me be perfectly clear: I don't like poo, steaming or not. Bags are fine, poo is not.

UPDATE: I didn't realize it was the season finale! *groan* When does Chuck come back...?

  1. Ok, I wont make you fell any worse by telling you that I watched 30 Rock for the first time ever last night and I was cursing your name the entire time! Instead I will inform you that "Chuck" returns Monday September 8, 2008 at 7:00pm. Now you can put a fancy countdown on your computer! =) Enjoy.

  2. What I want to know is: When you are looking back at your life as an Apostle, will you be embarrassed that you'll be quoted as having said "steaming bags of poo"?
