With apologies to HOW I MET YOUR MOTHER — 30 ROCK is right now — hands down the funniest show on television. Be it the endless brilliance of Tina Fey “You can’t be gay for one person. Unless you’re a woman, and you meet Ellen.” The “Fun Times Accomplished” subplot featuring Jack, Kenneth and Tracy trying to help out an underprivileged little league baseball team [Does Knuckle Beach really exist?] or the hilarious and underutilized Judah Friedlander turning Gay for Liz’s twenty-year-old boy toy Jamie. I quite literally didn’t stop laughing the entire episode. Except of course to fill out my application to become Liz’s next slightly-older-than-twenty-year-old boy toy.
And speaking of HOW I MET YOUR MOTHER. Quick SAT prep question. Elliot on SCRUBS is the equivalent to ___________ on HOW I MET YOUR MOTHER. [With apologies to the SAT board, I’m Canadian and don’t really ‘get’ the whole SAT thing]

If you answered ‘Robin,’ you my friend are more than ready for the SATs. Assuming of course the SATs main requirement was watching TV [oh, if only!]
Watching last night’s episode of SCRUBS, I couldn’t help but feel bad for Dr. Elliot Reed [and wonder why Dr. Cox is spending so much time talking to his wife on a webcam]. Much like Robin minus Ted, Elliot sans J.D. has been relegated to C-level subplots with Ted and the Janitor. Of course, that’s not to say her mission to uncover Dr. Kelso’s real age didn’t have a purpose. How sad was it to learn the only reason Kelso has been hiding the fact he’s 65 was so that he could avoid being forced into retirement [to spend quality time with his *gasp* wife].
Well, not so sad when I take a moment to think of J.D. trying to pick up for his baby. That opening segment was 30 ROCK hilarious [as I troll YouTube waiting for someone to upload the clip]
